Old man cards and knee injuries

Well, no class for me tonight. On Wednesday night while rolling with Dev we ended up in a weird upside back control reversal (with me on the bottom attempting the reversal) and I torqued my left knee. It was a bit stiff that night immediately afterwards so we took it easy and just walked through my new game plan for this month. But by the time I got home and got out of the shower my left knee had a nice size (golf ball) knot swelling up under the knee cap. When I woke up on Thursday not only was it still a bit swollen, but it has also starting bruising very nicely :) So, my much better half, being the sports therapy awesome trainer that she is, has convinced me to pull my old man card tonight and stay home.

So, instead of training updates I'll just load a couple pictures from my promotions in Wisconsin :)

Dan and I after he received his blue belt.

Jared and I after he received his brown belt.

Both Dan and Jared have trained a long time and poured their hearts out in training for not only themselves, but for their teammates as well. Congrats guys!
