I knew it, but I hadn&#8217;t drilled them like I should.  And another training partner offered to help me drill!  But I was really touched that my coaches and training partners are so interested in helping me train.  Thank you, Syndicate! \ud83d\ude42 I love you!<\/p>\n<p>And Heather and AJ took me out to belated birthday lunch!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/heather-aj-roxy-skinnyfat.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/heather-aj-roxy-skinnyfat.jpg\" alt=\"heather aj roxy skinnyfat\" width=\"288\" height=\"384\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3783\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI ordered this &#8220;tuna nuts&#8221; thing, with sashimi (raw tuna) with avacado on a cucumber &#8216;boat.&#8217;  There was supposed to be this cabbage salad on top, but I can&#8217;t eat cabbage.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/tuna-nuts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/tuna-nuts.jpg\" alt=\"tuna nuts\" width=\"376\" height=\"336\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3784\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I woke up feeling like total crap today.  Physically and mentally bad, but I went to the gym anyway and did some good clinching technique. Thanks, AJ! And Heather! but man,  I felt pathetic. <\/p>\n<p>On the way to Syndicate this morning, I was gonna go the local roads and stop by the post office, but just&#8230;the stop and go traffic got under my skin and I was like &#8220;GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I NEED SPEEEEEEEEEEEED!&#8221;  So I turned around in the opposite directions and took the highway.  Man, don&#8217;t you ever get into the mood to just STEP ON THE GAS?!<\/p>\n<p>I made some new friends today! \ud83d\ude00  Well, we met in passing, but today after training Victoria and her boyfriend Brandon took me out for a welcome lunch of sushi at Goyemon! There was all-you-can-eat sushi for an hour.  Man, so many creative American creations of sushi, but I loved it!  Like this one was called like &#8220;Crunchy rice&#8221; and it had like tuna? cucumber, like tobio eggs, and a fried chunk of rice on top with some sauce?!
