Happy Turkey Week?
I grappled with one of my instructors tonight at my Jiu Jutsu class. I'm holding my own pretty well these days, considering that until a month ago I'd been (for all intents and purposes) out of training for three years. Our 4-minute round extended to 6 or 7, and still neither of us had scored a submission. Then I took his back. I went for the rear naked choke as I tried to slip my hooks in. I sunk in the choke as he captured my foot and cranked.
Snap. Crackle. Pop. (trans. - he won)
It's not broken, but it's certainly not happy with me. It's had a massage and some ice. I hope it calms down, because I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon for a 13-hour drive to South Dakota with my parents, my brother, and my three-year-old son, and that's plenty of time for a sore ankle to stiffen up and make the rest of me very grumpy indeed.
All in all, though, I'm quite happy. Enjoy your holiday, everyone!
