You Know What Sucks...?

Something you love doing causing you pain.  Another reason I am starting to focus more on lifting is because my left hip hurts all the time.  Just non-stop chronic pain and tightness. As I sit here writing this after an open mat, where I only went 40%, I can feel my left hip start to tighten and throb.  Mentally, this makes me protect myself when I roll so I can't go as hard as I would like to go, even if going hard is only 60%.  That takes a toll on the old brain meats.

This makes me feel defeated, but it also makes me problem solve.  I would like to compete again the second half of this year.  This means my training has to change.  Cheers to solving my hips problems.  Yay, mid-30's, yaaaaaaayyyy.
