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 [...]

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 [...]

Scheduling and other real-life crap kept me from Muay Thai tonight and I was itching to do something, so for a change of pace, I went for a midnight run!
I actually quite liked it - the weather was cooler, the streets empty and there was a certain peacefulness about running in the dark that I [...]
Day 16/63 - August 5th, 2008 Workout - Heavy Bag
Work ran longer than I expected and I couldn’t make it into Konditioning class today, so I did some work on the heavy bag here instead.
I did a quick warm up of jumping jacks, crunches and knuckle pushups. Then I did six three minute rounds on the heavy bag with one minute of rest in [...]
Mental Clarity Day - Follow-up
My mental clarity day went really well. I got everything on my list done except for taking the dog to the park, because we went for a run instead and he was completely exhausted.
It felt great to get all of that stuff out of the way - now I feel like I can concentrate with [...]
Day 15/63 - August 4th, 2008 Workout - Running
I went running today and I hit my 9 week challenge goal already! When I started a couple of weeks ago the most I ever ran was 2.2km. Today I went out and ran 4.7km and only stopped once!
I adjusted my running technique a bit and now I feel like I run forever. I could [...]
Day 13/63 - August 2nd, 2008 Workout - Running
This morning I woke up and I felt good - I got a full night of sleep and ate really well yesterday. I’ve been running to work on my low-intensity endurance and so far my longest run has been 2.5km. I watched some videos on proper running form the other night and now it feels [...]

Went to the gym today - I wanted to go to the new Friday Muay Thai class at Kombat Arts, but they’re running a testing tonight. I’ve really missed doing pull ups - since the top of my door frame chipped, I haven’t used the door mounted one I have and have only been doing [...]

I am working on my endurance. This morning I marked off 2.5km on GMaps-Pedometer, leashed up the dog and went running. I stopped once for a 45 second breather about 2/3rds of the way through but otherwise I kept a pretty good pace. At the end I sprinted for the last 100 metres.
I am going [...]
