Goals for August:

[ ] Read 20 Pages of the Power of Now
[ ] Post a minimum of 10 hands for feedback from coaches
[ ] Run a minimum of 15 PIO sims & really understand the why rather than just the how
[ ] Play tennis 3x minimum
[ ] Meditate 15 times minimum
Managed to reach only two of my key areas, but have valid reasons for all the others. Unfortunately after a two year hiatus, on the 24th I had gout return. Since that date I have been completely unable to grind, offer coaching/receive coaching myself or study as 80% of my time I've been having to rest, completely unable to walk. Over the counter painkillers did nothing for me, and I wasn't able to get into A&E until Tuesday where I finally picked up stronger anti-inflammatory painkillers. Can't explain how much pain I was in when I was having these flare ups, absolutely agonising.
I was on course with all of the above goals with the exception of reading (0 pages achieved, disappointed with this as could have made time regardless I'm sure) and tennis - the reason being I play tennis with my partner who has been rushed off her feet this month with work, when I've been free she's been working and reverse. I have however been able to do other activities such as foot golf and wakeboarding so haven't been a complete couch potato. Managed to meditate 14 times so got very close to this goal despite recent pain (only really meditate pre-grind) and very happy with my personal volume.
Obviously far from ideal WCOOP preparation, did however manage to fit in a 4(!) hour review with romeopro last night as I'm starting to recover and able to focus on studying, felt extremely beneficial and am obviously very well rested before Sunday for which I'm relatively sure I will be 100% for (currently feeling at about 95%, definitely on the mend). Feel the schedule I've been given by bitB is exactly what I should be playing based on ability and such, going in with just $600 makeup so feels like a clean slate for the month of September which is pretty dreamy.
glglgl all!
