My quest for sanity and strength.

went to BJJ today after a LONG lay off. Was ok, open mat rolled with a guy I was comfortable with. Gassed after 2seconds. I quit smoking but it will be a while before Im where I was at. Maybe weighing 40lbs more has something to do with it also.

just wanted to get in a quick light workout as Im starting to get better from the pnemonia.

***got manager right off the hop complains says I cant use chalk anymore.

Squat 3x5 230lbs

felt good to squat teh same weight as before I got sick.

SOHP 3x5 135lbs

felt good


while coughing up a lung I barfed into my towel, signalling the end of my workout lol.
 
decided to go for a 3k run today. about 2k into it I almost died, started hacking up a lung and threw up.

Im going to blame it on resdiual effects of the pnemonia Im getting over. Also smoking a pack a day for over 20years could be a factor.

next sunday Imma get the 3k in withotu barfing I hope.
 
Nice work on quiting smoking after so long.

My dad smoked for about that long (longer probably) then quit for about half a year before taking it up again <facepalm>.
 
Had a series of shit things happen reciently startign with Pnemonia, then going into a close friend dying. Made it to the gym today for a light kinda get back into it workout.
