Day 43/63 - September 17th, 2008 Workout - Muay Thai

I think the two weeks off I had actually did me some good and let my body recuperate or something, because I just got back from 2 hours of Muay Thai and I feel great.  I never felt really out of breath during the two hours until the last 5 minutes when we were doing [...]

Day 41/63 - September 15th, 2008 Workout - Muay Thai

We did a conditioning class at Muay Thai yesterday.  Started off with our normal warmup, then did a bunch of drills with high reps to work on our conditioning.  We partnered up, got thai pads and then did a bunch of drills, then did sets of 25 pushups or 25 squats in between drills.
We finished [...]

I won a fitness challenge… and back posting again finally!

I found out yesterday that I won my division (male 25-35) in the 9 week fitness challenge I did a couple of months ago at Kombat Arts!  I never thought I’d win anything fitness related, so it was a nice surprise to get chosen.  Ironically, part of my prize was a gift card for a [...]

Day 32/63 - September 6th, 2008 Workout - Muay Thai

Class today was pretty good. We did some really tough drills with focus mitts where our partners would call out numbered combos and then we would throw them at the mitts.   I think I’ve finally got it drilled into my head to keep my hands up and it feels natural to me now to get [...]

Day 29/63 - September 3rd, 2008 Workout - Muay Thai

It’s been 2 weeks since I last went to Muay Thai class and I’ve missed it so much.  Now that work is under control I was able to make it back in today for a class.
We spent the whole class doing drills in response to catching a jab from our partner.  We went through different [...]

Day 28/63 - September 2nd, 2008 Workout - Misc

Had my first real workout in 2 weeks!  Did a quick warm up, then alternated doing pull ups, chin ups, push ups and squats until I couldn’t do any more.  Finished up with some core work and stretching.
It feels so good to move again and get my blood pumping.  I haven’t felt like myself at [...]

Day 27/63 - August 16th, 2008 Workout - Running

Went for a 5k run this morning and it felt sweet.  I’m changing up my program so that instead of trying to run as long as I can each time, I do two runs where I focus on improving my speed and technique and then one long run where I just go as far as [...]

Day 25/63 - August 14th, 2008 Workout - Running

The weather just did not want to co-operate with me tonight.  I was looking forward to a nice long run, but as I was getting into my shorts, I heard the ominous sounds of thunder in the skies.  Panicked, I ran downstairs and took a look outside.  A little bit of drizzle, but nothing too [...]

Day 23/63 - August 13th, 2008 Workout - Running

Went out for another late night run and got up to 6.1km this time - took 42 minutes including a quick stop at the house.  I’m going to stick to this distance for a little while and work on getting my times down.  When I get a bit under 40 minutes I’ll up it to [...]

Day 22/63 - August 11, 2008 Workout - Muay Thai

I’ve been in a somewhat pissy mood today since finding out it’s going to cost $500 to fix my car window that got smashed while I was in Ottawa.  But after getting to Muay Thai class I feel a lot better and got my head straight.  I’ve had a lot of good things happen in [...]
