It's been about 30 days since the OPEN ended and although I went straight to training it's been a rough month. I had a hip injury that hasn't healed and a shoulder LAT issue that has continually hampered my efforts day in and day out.
The road to recover isn't an easy one physically or mentally. It has been really hard and at times I have wanted to quit. Not quit the sport or my goal of getting to the games but quit a workout here or there. Slack off on my training or effort but have managed to stay the course. I feel like I am in quicksand and slow during workouts. The focus is on getting better instead of moving forward. I had a birthday turning 39 to put me one year older on the charts. All reasons to believe I'm not capable of meeting your goals when it comes right down to it.
It's a learning experience about myself and my body to say the least. I started this blog to get some thoughts out of my head. A healthy ventilation system from the daily grind of training. I have noticed my attitude sucks and I am hoping this will help me to be a better coach, training partner, and friend in the box.
I have a lot to look forward to and my sights are set on the coming competitions in the months ahead. Putting in the work and the results will speak for themselves.
