Sorry its been so long since I've posted. Its been a little busy around here!!! Any way, I've been keeping up with my walking, at least two miles a day when it's not a Judo day (Tues-Thurs) This week we had a Saturday work out too and it was a pretty vigorous training for competition style work out. I haven't weighed in since the original weigh in because I really haven't had a chance to get to the Dr.s office, I'm not trying to be scale crazy and obsess on every pound lost, but I have noticed a BIG improvement in my stamina and breathing at Judo. A few of the guys have even commented that I don't seem to be getting winded as easy and that I'm recovering much quicker and can play much longer now. So it seems all the walking is paying off. We've been doing a lot of strength training and I can really feel it in my arms/shoulders/chest/back and quads. Its a soreness that actually feels pretty good.
The Cherry Blossom Open Judo Tournament is next Saturday the 12th in Boyton Beach Florida, I plan on playing in the Masters division. A couple other players in our club plan on playing too, we may drive down together. This tournament will be a good entrance back in to competition for me and it will be a good warm up for a larger tournament in Cape Coral on March 5 where most of our club if not all the members of our club have been encouraged to play....I'll update on how I/we do at these tournaments.
:) Chris I am glad to hear this. If you get to a tournament way down south let us know and maybe we can attend.
