Tonight was my first double duty day. While learning the ropes of Jiu Jitsu, I still need to get my mad Muay Thai skills and well, a work out. So I've decided to double dip. Today was my first day of doing that and well, after kick sparing and the knee that has been giving me problems since I nearly fell on my face (Please check out Rachel's no good, very bad day entry for details). Just uncomfortable problems, not permanent problems. One thing that I can tell you is ever since Muay Thai, my knees have been swollen and well, not exactly the most attractive in the world. Scabs are formed, then they are ripped off before they are healed, scars are left, black spots, yeah---they pretty much well suck. Today was no exception.
Being my 2nd class, I am definitely having a problem with backward rolls and grappling makes me a little shy, but I'll get over that. I have never been a gymnast and well, now I get to fake it til I make it. The thing that's keeping me going is those early days of Muay Thai. I threw girlie punches, weak kicks, and sloppy footwork. Now it seems to come together a little easier. This someday will be the same.
But I DO need to get a rash guard, those mats ripped my back up something fierce. (as well as a change of clothes, deodorant, boy was I unprepared!)
That's all I have for tonight, I ate a bowl of hot cereal--Trader Joes version of cracked wheat--for dinner, hoping it would sustain me. It made my tummy gurgle all night long. My exhaustion after a hot shower is quickly setting in. Lets just hope that the scab that was accidentally ripped off, has stopped bleeding and won't end up all over my sheets.....
