REST

Once again I allow my blog to sit and get stale. So, my productive and busy month of April was an entire wash out, missed the due date for the Pan ams registration, my fight got canceled the day of weigh ins and I got sick while in AZ helping Ben Henderson get ready(on a side note, Ben won his fight with a slick guillotine in the first). All that together with my constant training, Just burnt me out.

This past week I had ZERO interest in doing anything MMA related. I still did crossfit(at ValleyCrossfit) 4days, went running/hiking, ran sprints, did physical stuff, but nothing MMA. No wrestling, no boxing, kicking, BJJ, just nothing. and you know what? It felt great.

Now, this coming up week, I promised Mac Danzig Ill help him prepare for his next fight(and to be honest, since he is fighting that little piece of shit Matt Wiman, I have added interest in that fight), so Ill be in the room doing whatever is necessary to ensure Mac smashes that cockroach, but to be honest with myself, I STILL dont want to train MMA.

Since Ive come back from neck surgery, Ive been making a push and trying to ensure Im doing everything in my power to prepare for my fights(and it seems to be working), but it just wears on me. I need a true vacation. Nothing physical and nothing to do with MMA! Maybe Ill go to a secluded island!

Now, Im not trying to complain because I realize my job gives me the opportunity to do things that others do as a hobby and for that Im grateful. Its just, no matter what your job is, regardless if you truly love your work(which I do), it becomes a job and gets mundane.

With that being said, Im still going to wake up tomorrow and punch the clock and go to work. Damn it though, I need a rest
