S2 E41: full swing
That didn’t take long at all. Here I was, worried that the adjustment from recovering/hermitting/funemployed to being on my feet all day slingin supps was going to be a drawn out and intensive experience. Naw dog, took 9 days of training.
Few things going for me in this transition. For starters, I’ve been a customer at this place for years. I’ve been training in the process since day one man, the formal training was more of a refresher. It doesn’t hurt that i can pull a great conversation out of a brick wall. See we don’t sell shit or push products…we listen to your attack plan for your goal and recommend gap fillers. Oh what’s that, i love mansplaining to other gym bros already? Weird, anyways yeah training is going great. Dogs hate me tho, super not enthusiastic about not spending 18 hours a day racked out on the couch. As pictured below, this was his response to the fourth day i said “alright kids come on” at 9am.
I lift in the morning before slate has to go to work, eat breakfast and shower change on non-BJJ mornings, go train if it is one of those mornings, then go to work and hang out with cool people for a few hours. That’s fuckin healthy dog.
The knee is coming along, last week we started running and hooooooooooooooooly fuck. Was not ready for that level of impact with motion. So that’s basically the next big hurdle in the pt game plan is start working on running. He’s taking it easy though because I’m mid-squatober. Last Friday was the three month surgery follow up and judging by the reaction from my surgeon…i think my PT is gonna get a raise. And spoiler for next weeks entry…i got on the mats and drilled today (don’t tell anyone).
It hasn’t been all rainbows and unicorns. New life events kinda suck when you don’t get to share em with your ride or die homie #1 fr fr ongod. Would’ve been way cooler to share that experience. Deployments are hard. Only a few more months until the kids get mom back 🥲
The good days are worth the bad. It’s never particularly “easy” to remember that when in the midst of bad days, that dark do be dark sometimes. But having a string of good days when you are nowhere near used to that is a fun thing to experience. You know, natural smiles. Like the taste of a Swiss roll mid-diet. Savor the sunny days, nobody protects sunny days for adults and i think that’s a damn shame. Age doesn’t determine accessibility to happiness, that’s your character that does that. Now go spread sunshine, weirdos.
