Day 18/63 - August 7th, 2008 - Running

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 [...]

Day 12/63 - August 1, 2008 Workout - Weights

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 [...]

Day 11/63 - July 31, 2008 Workout - Running

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 [...]

Day 9/63 - July 29th, 2008 Workout - Konditioning

Konditioning class day!  I got there and did the 2.2k warm up run - getting better, only stopped once and then only for about 30 seconds.  Gotta get cracking on the running - I figure if I run an extra 100 metres every time I run, I should be able to gradually get up to [...]

Day 6/63 - July 26th, 2008 Workout - Muay Thai

I am going to get back into the habit of writing these immediately after my workout.  I’ve been waiting too long to update and I lose a lot of the details in my mind which is one of the main benefits of doing this.
I just got back from an hour of Muay Thai class.  We [...]
