Some kind of magic

I didn't blog about it, but last night I did a Low Intensity workout (Prasara Yoga, RPT 7, RPE 3, RPD 3). My back feels a lot better, but it's still a little stiff and sore in some movements.

This morning was our first MMA class at work. On the one hand, I'm very proud of myself for how far I've come, fitness-wise, in the last six months. On the other hand, I'm still way, way out of shape. The morning class was a good reality check. The other 3 guys in the class are in good shape, hang out at the gym a lot, etc. Me, not so much. On the other, other hand, MMA requires a different kind of fitness than getting on the treadmill and running for an hour. My partner was having trouble finishing up the last 20 jabs on the focus mitts.

The dilemma now becomes, what do I do with my normal workout? For now I think I'll continue on with my regular night time workout, but we'll see how that effects me. I might have to cut back in order to have enough gas in the tank for class. Only time will tell.
