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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Day 5/63 - July 23rd-25th, 2008 Workouts

Quick summary catch-up post here.
Wednesday - did 10 minutes of attempting to jump rope.  I completely fail at jumping rope right now, but I’m going to keep practicing and will become good at it.  I also did a bunch of crunches/push ups/squats.
Thursday - went to the 5pm Muay Thai class.  Smaller class so we stayed [...]

Day 2/63 - July 22, 2008 Workout - Konditioning

Went to Konditioning class today and we started off with the usual 2k warm up run outside. Went pretty good but I wasn’t able to do it continuously without stopping at all like usual - I guess the break affected me a little more than I thought.
Today’s class was held mostly outside in the [...]

Day 1/63 - July 21, 2008 Workout - Muay Thai

After what seemed like 2 of the longest weeks ever, I finally got back into Muay Thai class! I’ve really truly missed going… can’t say that enough.
Today was a fun class too - lots of sparring which I always love. We started with the normal warm up and then did some back and [...]

Starting over

I’ve been on a break the last couple of weeks while my new tattoo healed. I’ve managed to stay somewhat active but not nearly as much as I would have liked to be. My diet hasn’t been all that clean either - not terrible, but not good enough.
Anyway - it was a break [...]
