Guess Im not doing to well with keeping up this blog. It was about this time last year that I finished my job in Wuhan and was preparing to go on my cycle trip through Asia. Its been a hell of year. I think I have done more in the last 365 days than any other set so far. Right now I am gearing up to fight again. I have an MMA fight on the 24th. It should be a pretty minor event, as its amateur and the Hawaii rules are even more restrictive than when I fought in CO before. Here its only 2 rounds unless a draw and then goes to a 3rd and there are no elbows on the ground, only standing. But it will still be good to keep actively competing. With the match last December and if I can keep this going I would like to try and keep up with 2 a year and maybe a grappling tournament and a running race or two. That would be a fairly active year. At the moment I signed up for the Xterra half marathon in Nov. That competition should round out the year. Although I am hoping to get a grappling tournament in there somewhere as well.
My BJJ is going well. I think I might finally be in one place long enough to actually be able to test and get my blue belt. Right now I am able to control and sometimes submit the guys who are one level above and there is a another promotion coming up in September. I dont think I am going to test, but I do hope to get my third stripe and put myself to be in position to test the next time around, which would be sometime around december/january. although given my upcoming travel schedule I may not be able to train as much as I need to be ready. But that would be a good thing because the injuries are starting to rack up. All overuse injuries, make it very frustrating. Turf toe in both big toes and a strain in my left thumb. All the joints are getting strained and just dont recover and never get any rest. I hear when you turn 30 it all falls apart, this might be the precursor to that.
School is moving along and I am starting to work on my masters seminar project. Still in development, but I am holding my 3.8+GPA so happy about that. So far one question has shot my 4.0 and I was contesting it, never going to let that go... Anyway what can you do.
Now I just need to find a job, or someone who wants to give me money and everything will be good.
