The Push Yourself Thread!

my cardio has increased as i have rolled at least ten min yesterday, as long i dont have an asthma attack i can do ok.

i have had an ear infection, no pain or balence loss and i have tolerated it, but i need to see a doc, i have been busy so it will be awhile, pray for me

Good going Jason!

I rolled with two different people saturday. I ended up getting the armbar at around two minutes with the first guy, but the second guy wouldn't let me submit him. We just neutralized eachother for a few minutes. I was wore out and dehydrated afterwards which gave me a massive headache. I need to drink more water before going to class.

Judo does rolling as well? I know it has the same techniques, with the gi, I have a few more experciened people than me and i tend to defend against them as well and vice versa.

Yes. Judo does Ne Waza Randori (free practice ground techniques). Armbars and chokes mostly. No kneebars, neck cranks, etc...but I know how to do those as well. ;)

For anyone that wants a good workout, do some rolling with someone as heavy or heavier than you. 5 minutes is an eternity!!

yes, i know that, i had a wreslter who rolled with me for 3 minutes and he outwighed me by 50lbs, and could use his weight and strength like a bjj fighter should, set up and then lock it in, boy i've gotten manhandled by him a few times. lol

I know you know that jason, it was just some friendly input for other members who might be considering it. As a BJJ practitioner you better darn well know that,lol!!
 
Wow, sounds like a lot of fun! The closest I get is wrestling with my 10 year old boy :-) Hey, he's getting strong! a couple years and I'll be the one on my back! :lol

Anyway, I ran 10.6 miles Saturday with our club and then ran another 10 miles with the club Memorial day. I love this feeling of getting stronger. Actually, the last two blocks we very close to a full sprint. It was awesome!

Anyway, I signed up for the Detroit half marathon October 18th. That's 13.1 miles and I should be able to do it under two hours, but I'm shooting for under 1:50, or somewhere around 9 minute miles. Next year my goal is to do a full marathon! (26.2 miles)
 
I was able to go out yesterday for the first time in quite a few days. I was grounded for a while due to an infection. Michael gave the 'all clear' and so I went for a walk yesterday at a park in a town nearby, and I was able to sustain a good pace for 30 minutes. A miracle! I also worked out on some of their outdoor exercise equipment, which was really fun. Anyway, I was able to do it all without passing out. :D I am going again tomorrow, and then I an taking the children to soccer. I am going to do as much as I can, because Michael grounds me quite a bit when I am sick, and cold and flu season are right around the corner. I am going to push while I can, and 'behave' whenever I catch anything.
 
That's so great to hear Tina :-)

Is the weather starting to turn brisk where your at? I just love the feel of brisk air moving through my lungs.

I pray that the cold and flu season doesn't have it's way with you this year. :praying

God bless
Jeff
 
It is getting cooler, and I do so much better in low humidity. I walked for a few hours today, and stayed out just hanging around at the park for several more. I kinda over did it, but I am just going to get some rest and push again tomorrow...yard work!

Thanks for the prayers, Jeff, I consider it 'preventative care'. :D
 
I've really been neglecting my Spanish, and I've been praying for God to give me the grace to study some Spanish every day. It's been working for about ten days now, and I appreciate anyone's prayers.
 
El senor ayuda vince, vince deasa ensanar el espanol. Por favor da el poder ensanar a vince, amen
 
I laid around on the couch most of the day today eating junk and watching football. Go Denver!! :-)
 
You know, Brian, my late husband actually did have to push himself to take it easy, it was hard for him to just sit through a movie, or a baseball game, etc. without popping up to get something done...he would work for fun and as a way to rest his mind. :gah I have never had that problem. :D
 
You all are too funny :lol

I pulled something a couple weeks ago... thought it was my I.T. Band, but I dunno.... It crippled me last Saturday at mile 12. Ended up walking the rest of the way..

Had a great time last night running with the club. It was speed night and I was just waiting all day to burn off some frustration from the day :D

I think we ran close to 5 miles at an 8 - 8 1/2 minute pace with full sprints woven in. My leg started giving me problems, which of course made me mad cause I've got the Detroit Half Marathon in two weeks and I had to stop twice to stretch. Just under a mile from quitting, they took into another sprint. It hurt and I was mad.. and in my anger I said, "I don't care if I get hurt any worse, I'm already hurt" and in my anger, I broke into a full run.

The strangest thing happened... the pain went away and I'm fine today! The last half mile was almost at full sprint. The last block was everything I had and man did it just feel totally awesome! Of course, I had to do a half mile cool down after that major sprint and oh yeah, my heart rate was at 195 at the end of the sprint. Haven't had it that high in 6 months. It felt really, really good :thumb
 
now that my ankle is almost completly healed, maybe i will be able to get into full swing of training again.

jason
 
Well Jason, I hope your ankle is 100% soon!

I'm currently pushing myself not to run until this Sunday for the Detroit Marathon where I'm running the half (13.1 miles). It's hard cause I want to run, and my legs ache to run... and I need to run. Sports injuries suck...
 
it has been getting closer each day, i rode my bicyclal 5 miles to the bjj gym then rode it back. so all in all 1.2 hrs of cardio, roll time for the class is about 10 minutes for each fighter give or take a few.

jason
 
I am going to try to take things up a notch again. I feel like since I started pushing myself that there have been a lot of set backs, but even with that the 'plugging along' has paid off. It's so hard to see that any ground is being gained when you are moving at such a slow pace. I think I am ready to do more, though, and so I am looking for a way to do that...I'll let you know what I come up with. I am not good at pacing myself, and so if it doesn't work I will take things back down again and continue on with 'plugging along', and pray that God will help me be content. It's been a long road, and I am ready to do more if possible.

To be honest, reading everyone else here is an encouragement. No, I am not where you guys are, but it's nice to know that people are pushing at every level. Dilligence is a struggle for me at times, because my lungs are really a frustration, but I am determined to be as healthy as possible with this condition...and I am not right now. Anyway, I need some climate control, and so a gym may be my next step. I am not absolutely sure what this looks like yet.

The Lord bless all of you.
