The middle of December marked six months post surgery, and was my point to be able to "do whatever I want", to quote my surgeon. So, we're back now from the holiday break and this week I started leading classes again and enjoying full workouts for the first time in quite a while. It felt amazing to gear up and fight again, I fully enjoyed it. My chief instructor calls me a bulldozer fighter, I typically just get right in there and bang. Love it! Mother of God, my cardio is so depleted!! I was huffing air like I just ran around the globe, holy hell. I got halfway through my sixth fight and had to take a knee for a couple of minutes. But I'm hungry and motivated now, and we have some new recruits that I will enjoy training and fighting with. <thumbsup> <thumbsup>
