Winter blahs have hit. Motivation is at an all time low. Seriously this is bad.
Had a massage today (Annette got me 2 for Christmas because my back has been bothering me). My right hip took a serious turn for the worse yesterday after BJJ. I went to Active Health here in Kingston. Kurtis worked on both hips at the back. Apparently they are pretty seized up. The pain is in the right but the left seemed way tighter when he was working on it. I really have to focus on my breathing when he goes deep. It freakin’ hurts.
Then I went home and grilled Aidan before his oral French exam. He left and I did a quick Crossfit workout because I am brain dead and deep down don’t want relief from my back pain. As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
- 5 pullups,
- 10 pushups
- 15 squats
I managed 19 sets without puking. That ties my personal best so next time I’ll shoot for 20. And really if I am not retching at the end have I done my best?
Aidan came back soon after. The exam went really well. HA!
Stole Annette away from the hospital long enough for a quick Thai lunch. Her sunny disposition is infectious. We had a very nice time.
Oil change – long overdue, Caulking for the downstairs shower, picked a copy of Inglourious Basterds. Hard to know what to say about this one. Definitely a Tarantino film. Boys liked it.
Then cooked boys dinner. Rowed some intervals on the Concept II to make sure that the back damage really takes. Had a protein shake and now I’m sitting here feeling like I’ve been run over by a truck, listening to Aidan’s computer playing Breaking Benjamin while we read.
BJJ at Martial Arts Planet tomorrow. Let’s see if I can be a bit more inspired. I’ll ride the foam roller and a tennis ball beforehand to try and loosen up. Maybe a full night of sleep would also be a good idea.
