It Hurts So Good

Well, I worked out for the first time in over a year...it hurts. I was able to workout with The TV Frog after work at the Speedway Club. After running for 1.25 miles on the treadmill, I lifted for about 30 minutes.
I pretty much kept it simple and light, doing 3 sets of 8-10 reps on bench, dumbells, and curl bar. It's gonna take awhile to get back in the shape I was in 1.5 years ago when I was practicing Jeet Kune Do with sifu Mike Goldberg at the JKD Institute in Fort Worth.
Jeet is great for flexibility and speed. As fas as martial arts goes, Jeet is very different from say, Judo, Karate, JuiJitsSu, etc. Simply put, JKD teaches you how to basically take people out and therefore must be practiced with plenty of restraint and protective gear!! Anyway, I plan to get back into JKD and get ranked within the next year or two.
Gotta go...just took Advil and Asprin...just trying to head off the inevitable!
