After about 3 months of non-stop training, tournaments, sicknesses, and work, I am ready for a break. Some time to unwind, let loose, let go of all of my responsibilities and just enjoy living.
I know it's needed because I'm currently in (what I like to call) my "zombie stage". I'm not really alive, yet I'm still walking around (trying) to function. My brain is zapped, my body destroyed, and my energy is non-existent. I'm sure we all can relate to this feeling...
So, to try to "de-zombify" myself, Justin and I are heading to Chicago this weekend for a mini family reunion! I couldn't be more excited to see everyone--especially the newest addition to the Hejlik (Naber) family, Isaac Joseph!
After our trip, it's right back to training full-force as I have the JMJC Open on March 22nd and a points tournament at the beginning of April in Philly. I need to be in top shape, as I need to win this tournament to (finally) get on the national ranking roster for my new weight category, 48kg.
I plan to take full advantage of my time away, as I know I need a full tank of gas to get me (successfully) through the next few months of training and tournaments! April through June will test my progress from the last few months and my ability to compete (and win) at the next level. Wish me luck!! :)
