I just quickly glanced over my blog for the last week and noticed that i put down an article on the importance of sleep. Well this week i haven't done to much of that.
This week has bee so busy, On Tuesday night we went to our church groups leaders house to watch a stack of smallville Season 8. Sam and I got Andrew and Nat into Smallville and they are obsessed with it just like us.
Also on Tuesday i had to do a speech for school. It was on the assignment did based on the need for teachers to encourage students on the effort rather than the result. It was very interesting and something that i can definitely implement in my coaching of others and hopefully one day when i become a teacher.
That day our Lecturer (is a black belt in Karate) taught the class how to restrain a child if they are harming others or themselves. It was really funny to see the people from the audience he used to demonstrate on because normal people (non grapplers) aren't really familiar with close contact especially with randoms they don't know. The teacher taught some basic take downs but it was a bit of a waste of an hour for me but at the same time it was so amusing.
On Wednesday it was great to catch up with Krishan one of the guys i train. He has had glandular fever for nearly 2 months and i ha vent trained with him since before i left for the World Champs. It was great to see him looking healthy again and back into training. I'm definitely keen to start doing some more training with him again.
On Friday i trained with Ash and his improvements over he last 6 months have been huge. It just shows that when you get the basics right and you work through the gokyo that one technique flows into the others and the more and more you actually understand each technique the better you become as a judo player.
On Friday night we visited our Friends Mark and Kath. they are both Gym goers and Mark just recently entered a powerlifting comp. He benched 147kg deaded 245 and i cant remember what he squatted but it would been alot.
We played an awesome board game called Cranium and had a stack of fun.
But that night he dude upstairs was yelling his head off all night so Sam and I went to her parents house at bout 1am, but when we got there there was a burst water main 2 doors down so tractors were fixing that all night and then he bro got up at like 6am to go to work so I got no sleep whatsoever cos i had to be up at 7am to go to work. it was the worst.
SO i didnt train at all on Saturday which sucks massively cos i wanted to go do a gi bjj session but instead i just slept. Iknow that because I'm dieting and i was tired if i trained on Saturday i definitely would have gotten sick so I'm glad i slept in the arvo.
On Sat night we went to the ACT Academy of Sport Awards and i got 2 awards that night. I got an award for going to the World championships this year and i also won the award for the Individual Athlete of the year. So that was pretty cool, they are really nice trophy's Ill put the photo of them up at the bottom here.
now today after work i head to church ( i havent been in 2 or 3 weeks and cant wait to go) and then having dinner at Sams parent house.
Next week should be good getting close to exams so heaps of school work and heaps of judo training, should be good
