Alive and well

Well I have to say that although blog posting activities have been inconsistent, my training has been excellent. I'm training 2-3 days of BJJ plus a day or two of conditioning... yes, you heard right. Conditioning. The result is night and day... being able to last more than two rounds has been a blessing. Training to the point of complete exhaustion and not being afraid has improved my outlook on life. I'm excited!

I thought I'd list a few cool things that happened since my last post:

• Received a 4th stripe on my blue belt from BJJ Black Belt Rob Ables. (Purple here I come!)
• Lost 7 lbs. (Thanks to Cody Mitchell aka: Body Killer, Death by exhaustion master or the Burpee king.)
• Consistently complete a 45 minute body-weight exercise circuit after about an hour of rolling. (see thank you note above)
• Hanging with the purple belts on the mat (I feel like I belong)
• Found a new love for collar chokes and the x-guard.
• My kids (Dayna and Devon) took 1st and 2nd place at a No Gi tournament in CA.

I'm alive and well. More to come.
