vivalasvegans Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I bypassed the run last night and went for a 45min walk instead.To the gym at lunch again today!!! I was just reading a couple of the last pages of your journal, and I was glad to see that statement. Sometimes it's better to be restorative than push ourselves. That's a lesson I learned for myself this week. Too bad wii miis don't have superaccountant man... with amazing number crunching powers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the comment vivalasvegans! so true! When I look back to when I was younger, it's no wonder I couldn't put on any muscle. I overtrained, did a ton of cardio. DOn't think I ever gave my muscles a chance to properly recover.The value of rest is probably the single best thing I have learned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 took it fairly easy on the weekend.2 hour walk on Saturdayhour and a half walk on Sunday I'm starting to really enjoy long walks. You just see much more of the neighborhood and people. June is a completely nutty time when you have kids. There are so many things going on : birthday parties (the summer b-days usually happen in June), school projects, activities, graduation (grade 6 and grade I could never quite figure out the grade 6 grad thing to the gym at lunch today! not feeling terribly energetic, but I'll suck it up and get a workout in!

JW Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 going to the gym again today at lunch.planning to do some light cardio. (just feel like it) my son never ceases to amaze me...He's been driving me crazy for years because I am a hopeless sports nut and he has no interest at all in organized sports. What drives me crazy is that he has much talent in practically everything he tries.*picks up a golf club and has a perfect picture swing*plays in a pickup soccer game and regulary takes the ball from a classmate who is regarded as one of the top players in the province at his age.* he took the "beep test" at school yesterday (timed sprints... how many you can do within a time limit) and had the 2nd best time in the school. Part of me is glad that he isn't playing some of the more physical sports (when I see all the kids walking around on crutches) as long as he stays active, but......

MaryStella Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 your son is still young.. maybe he will be interested later in life... I was thinking about you after watching the faber/brown fight. Urijah's getting surgery on his hand from breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 darn those injuries!!! I like watching Faber fight. GSP is the man in my books though! (maybe because he's Canadian?) I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him take apart BJ PennDon't know if Dana White has it in for GSP or what.... he never seems to get a soft opponent like the other guys do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryStella Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 darn those injuries!!! I like watching Faber fight. GSP is the man in my books though! (maybe because he's Canadian?) I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him take apart BJ PennDon't know if Dana White has it in for GSP or what.... he never seems to get a soft opponent like the other guys do Faber and GSP are two of my fav fighters. Both are very talented. I saw pictures of urijahs hand today post surgery and it has two plates and some screws in it. I really hope you won't have any hardware in your hand!

JW Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 I hope not! frustrating because at this point I don't even know if they can repair it.I sure hope so because I seem to have at least one painful experience every day (banging it or catching it on something) re: MMAwere you surprised with Rashard Evans getting destroyed ?it's an amazing sport.... on any given day...

JW Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 another 25 pushups for the VBBF challenge definitely a rest day today.feeling a bit spent. I'll probably put in a couple sets of pushups later but that's it. (still a rest day though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how i turned your blog into an mma theme lately.... I can't really say I am surprised when anyone losses because all fighters make mistake. Even if your really good your eventually going to pay for them at least once and awhile. I do get disappointed sometimes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 lol I have a feeling that this thread will continue to go in many directions here's an interesting question for you...my friend and I were recently discussing who would be the person you would LEAST want to step into the octagon with? He said Tank Abbott because of the fear factor (Tank being such a brawler) I thing Anderson Silva because it seems like whoever faces him comes out looking like he got kicked in the face by a horse!
