on the gym Mel and Silverbirch!
I've just done 25 minutes jogging non-stop and there was still energy left in the tank, so I ran the last 55 secs faster!
I was really dreading going out today since it's grey and rainy and horrible! But I went out and did it anyway and I feel sooooooooo much better for it!
Had a great weekend! I learned important things at my kickboxing lesson on Saturday, and not just the next technique. Turns out the problems with my back kicks are all in my head! (And here's me thinking they told me I had a crap back kick....
) I usually do my back kick, fall over/off balance and laugh. My teacher had me "not laugh". So 3 non-laughing-back-kicks later and he said they were the best I'd done all lesson. He reckons that by laughing at myself through embarrassment/pride/annoyance/whatever I set myself up to fail, "Oh it doesn't matter, try again." He said, stop laughing, stop thinking it doesn't matter you can try again. Do it how I would do it for a grading. No laughing!
So today, instead of setting myself up to fail by thinking 25 minutes was too long and too far and I'd never do it, I just got on with it. I listened to my music, concentrated on my breathing and thought about kickboxing.
Saturday evening we went to a Jamie Cullum concert, which was my Xmas/Birthday present (grrrrrrrr) from DF. It was great! I really really enjoyed it lots!
Sunday I tied myself to the bed since I wanted to do lots of kickboxing but it was my REST day! I managed a 3 hour nap in the afternoon and erm.. lots of eating!
Got kickboxing teaching this evening, something else I learned on Saturday, I am the better teacher of the 2 of us doing fast-track black belt! HA! (not that I'm competitive, not at all!) oh and the guy who was a pain in the *** and beating me senseless and dropping me on the floor, he's not a real black belt! HA! And double HA! HA! HA! HA!
Then UBW (can't remember if it's tris or bis or shoulders or what!) and a nice early night ready for the next onslaught of physical torture!
