It's possible that every dog has a little kitty in them somewhere.

I think there's a deep philosophical message in there somewhere .

I've been busy covering brushfires down here. Damn those arsonists - Goob, you weren't here anytime last week were you ()?

5/12/08:
BJJ:
1 Hour

"Omo-plata day" - that's what Joel (instructor) called it. We drilled 2 variations of the omo-plata. I still suck at shoulder rolls, but they're getting better. I rolled for about 10 minutes with Joel at the end of class - fun, but frustrating since he demands I go through everything step by step - good in a way since then I have to really learn all the details of all the moves I'm trying to pull.

BJJ:
1 Hour

Drilled the guys who are participating in the upcoming tournament by forcing them to try and pass our guards. I gave my guys a slightly harder time than usual! We did these guard passing drills for about 40 minutes.

I got to roll a bit with one of the heaviest guys (other than me I think he's the heaviest one there), he's also not that bad. We rolled for 5 or 10 minutes, I got submitted once, then he tried to get me again and I just kept reversing his chokes and tying up his legs in spider guard and slipping him back into my full guard. He's a big boy, but I had all the leverage I needed to control him with my feet.

No BJJ, just went to bed early and got some rest (it is a rest week after all).

Calories - 2900- I ended up skipping my last meal, I don't like doing that, but I thought I could use a slight change since I wasn't really going to be needing all that much for the rest of the day.

Seriously???? I hate those fucking dogs. Ugliest animal ever. An alsation or a husky, thats where its at.

tallcall

A friend of mine raised 5 of them and brought 3 over to play with us at my BJJ school (in the parking lot). They were some of the nicest, most loyal and ugliest (cool looking) dogs I've ever been around. I just want to be able to walk down the street and watch the people stare.

We'll see what the future holds though, I'm moving in a couple months and I'd have to first see if the place I'll be in allows dogs and what kind of dogs. Maybe I'll just volunteer to do some work in an animal shelter or help train some pit bulls (or other dogs). I really just want to be able to be around the animals more and take care of them. I can't have kids, but I can have puppies !

Friday:
Cardio - 45 minutes HIIT

10 minutes on a bike - levels 14-20 - 30 seconds at level 20 - PR for endurance.

20 minutes Farmers Walks - 60 lb dbs - 500 paces - up and down stairs (25 total each way), rest for 1 minute and repeat 5 times. Then standard walks for 10 minutes averaging 60 paces followed by a 60 second rest repeated 5 times.

5 minutes on a rowing machine.

5 minutes on an elliptical trainer at levels 3 and 13. 1:10 at level 13.

5 minutes on a treadmill at a speed of 2.5-4.0 mph. I kept it kind of slow because of the problems I've had in the past.

I felt like I was flying after those farmers walks. Nothing like throwing on an extra 120 pounds and running around with it. Makes me feel like I'm floating when I put the weight down.
