Rolled up to the big school and did open mat. 8 or 10 8' rds my rib popped loose this time but it didn't hurt just felt twingey when I moved just right.

Rib is moving a bit. Gotta kettle tomorrow and see how it goes.

Only made it 4' and my rib was moving around too much. I was afraid I was going to do more harm than good so I punted. Reset and did 2' at 10 rpm focusing on finding a more comfortable position.

Once it gets loose it gets fucking loose. I'm hoping I can take it easy the next 13 days and get it tightened up enough to get through my 10' set.

Can't trust myself to go to BJJ by myself and not roll so I'm taking tonight off.

Smart. Later, you can go, accompanied by a chaperon with a cattle prod to keep you off the spar.

When I dislocated my rib, I played Johnny Hardcore (my nom de porn), continued rolling and got stacked. That was a bad feeling, and kept me out of action for 6 weeks.

[Holland Oates]

Yech that sounds brutal.

I don't have any pain or trouble breathing the rib just pops in and out like the dice bubble in the old Trouble game. Lots of heat and rest have helped tighten it up already.

Wasn't terrible. Rib popped a few times but no pain just movement. My kettle couch is a sadist but he knows what the hell he is doing. Damn him. I don't know how I can love someone so much that keeps trying to kill me.

10K 42:01.7 FUUUUUUUUUUCK I tried like hell to break under 42:00.0 that last 500.

Oh well first half was way slower. I push the pace minimally in the first 6K and I'll be under 42 easy.

Took a couple of days off to recharge. Slept wicked hard both days.

Late night goodness. Went to the big city to watch the drama queen/choir sing with the symphony. Ate some Mediterranean/middle eastern food. Had too much coffee. Looked at some Xmas lights. Visited some friends and their dogs. Headed home. Decided to give my training a shot. Less than optimal conditions and time.

Nice work. Full 10 min?

[Holland Oates]

9:50 ish wheels came off

[Alfred_E._Neuman]

Shit, close enough. I've been thinking of a GS style plan after the holiday challenge to switch things up a bit, but still be in the strength/endurance category.

I'd be starting with the 16's.

[Holland Oates]

Thanks man. 16s is where I started a little over 3 years ago.
