Well I’m sick.  I’ve had a cold since I got back from Maui.  Mostly just chest congestion but now I have a cough.  It’s been pretty bad for a couple of days but it was persistent enough that I contacted a doctor and got some prescription medication.  Now you might ask what does this have to do with Personal Protection and the Martial Sciences?  Everything…  First I have to work sometimes while not feeling good.  What if I have a Use of Force at work.  How will I respond?  What if I have a Personal Protection situation happen outside of work when I am feeling this bad.  Right now, my cardio is shit.  I wouldn’t last very long because its hard to breath.  Sure adrenaline may get me going but…  I’m just not myself!!!  Not even a little bit.  Fortunately for me my doctor has me on cough suppressant and steroids.  So I will be fine soon.  In the meantime I’m not interested in having to use my skills.

See You On The Mats!!!
