I have lost tracking this - training has been going good, getting a lot of mat time in but the knee started to act up a little recently. I probably need to do more maintenance - look at getting back into yoga. My jiujitsu is feeling a little stronger these days, consistency is key!

Sat 22nd 

Left knee is off, popliteus?? it feels swollen and hot, like post meniscus tear. It started to act up in Italy a little bit, I'm not sure what I did. I've been icing and doing some decompressing work, need to look into Yoga again!!
