I have a torn meniscus in my left knee and always wear a brace when training. Since starting the cycle my right knee has started troubling me so now I wear a bandage on it.  I have hurt my right hand, I am wearing a bandage on my hand to assist and make pushups more bearable.  My back is an on going problem and many days I am wearing a back brace.  Tonight at sparring class during warm ups I felt my ankle twist... Tried not to pay it too much attention, I have enough body parts screaming so one more really didnt seem like much, but, as I was leaving The pain began to increase.  Tonight I am icing my ankle.  Looks like I may be adding another brace to my lineup.   Whew, I keep this up and I may need a one big full body brace.  The only thing I can do is giggle about the whole thing...and plan for more dress out time. 

I received my second letter of recommendation tonight.  Wow, I have truly been humbled by them both and am SO grateful.  I hope I am able to do justice in their words and make both writers proud.  I truly am trying to do my very best on this cycle.
