I did not think I’d get to 13 on this. I’m notorious for dropping things in the middle of them. Nothing on the stereo today. I’m standing at my desk with the back doors swung wide enjoying some silence. Monday Gym in the morning, heavy upper body session. I didn’t track everything I did but … Continue reading
On the stereo today: Are You Experienced?- Jimi Hendrix Last week I was still on the tail end of a sinus infection, so didn’t get too much done. Still, not a bad week. Big thing was that I got an inversion table to hang from to help my back. Like anything like this, it’s hard … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Afghan Whigs- 1969 I’m standing typing this as I’m adjusting my life a little with the news that I’ve got a back condition. We probably all have a low back issue to some degree, but we just put it down to being stiff or old. We never attend to it and … Continue reading
So I’ve come to the end of a 12 week project and despite the result of the event, I’m pretty happy. I lost on Saturday very narrowly. I felt I had a little more in me, and to be honest, it was a match I could have won. But these things happen, and I’m not … Continue reading
On the stereo: Depeche Mode- Playing The Angel Because of my Daughter’s Communion this weekend, and logging Monday’s session last Tuesday, I actually only have one Jiu Jitsu session to log this week, Wednesday’s. An unusual circumstance, but I’m happy with it. Tuesday Logged a decent Strength session in Kyuzo despite being pretty tired from … Continue reading
Listening to Temple of the Dog as I’m writing this. I think I wanted to be Chris Cornell when I was about 16. Overall last week was really good. I’m still trying to keep a lid on my lower back injury and I’m having some decent success. Conditioning good. Strength dropping by about 5% or … Continue reading
On the stereo this morning: Mercury Rev- Deserter’s Songs. An album that reminds me of a mate who used to knock into my house with a burned CD for me and say “You’ve got to listen to this man…” Last week was truncated. I was running the IBJJF Dublin International so I knew I’d only … Continue reading
On the stereo as I’m writing- Pet Sounds, The Beach Boys. To hell with your Sergeant Pepper. This is the greatest of all time. Last week was a good week. I trained well, found some groove after being sick the previous week. The injuries I’m managing didn’t rear their heads too much, and I got … Continue reading
Playing as I write this- Massive Attack- Protection. The album, not the single. My favourite album of theirs. So last week was a disaster. If you read last week’s blog you’ll remember I said I had hay fever. Well, I didn’t, I had a bad cold and a throat thing. I missed almost the entire … Continue reading
What I’m listening to while writing this: Neil Young- Harvest. General condition- Full of hay fever. Every year I get a scratchy throat and puffy eyes this time of year and I say “Oh I think I’m getting a cold”, but the cold never arrives, and then I remember “Oh Yeah, I get Hay Fever … Continue reading
