Well today was going to be the day I got my car back… but due to some suspension parts not getting in early enough last week… I got pushed back at least until tomorrow. So I am looking forward to the call. At least my new license plates came in last week, along with my convertible top parts that I needed… so as soon as I get my car back… I should be ready to roll… new tires.. a working top and no more temp tags.

Well, hit up Kickboxing class last night… still sore and my arms tired already. Almost didn’t go.. but I am determined to go three times a week.. so off I went.
Got there quite early… so I got ready and hung out for a bit. Class started and it was interesting, we were working with a medicine ball and a partner. Things were going okay until we started boxing with the ball. My arms felt like lead by the time we started and when my partner ( Who was a beast… about my height but built like a bodybuilder ) started punching the ball with me holding it… my ability to keep up went to hell. I had to be replaced and take a break. ( Poor guy that took my place got pounded around the place also by the “Beast”. )
Basically I couldn’t do any more arm stuff at that point. I was done. Came back for the knee work and attempted some combinations… but I was spent. Got pretty upset at myself but I just couldn’t do anymore. I did manage to get myself back together for the last part of class and finish up with everyone else.
I will go agin Wednesday and hope that I can do the arm stuff.. but my arms and shoulders are still hurting pretty bad… so who knows.

Watched a bit of Le Mans… thought about watching some F1… but they did that craziness with the tires… so the hell with watching 6 cars race around the track.
Had dinner with Saif and his wife, then watched the game with Bob and Valentine. At least the game was interesting this time.

Well I did get to training Saturday morning. Not sure if I should have gone, it was circuit training day and since I am new… I ended up doing tons of jabs and some crosses. Also… looks like I will have to learn how to jump rope. Well I am worn out as usual… so we will conclude this for now.

I have gotten two updates about when I will get my car back. As of the 14th… the body work was well underway but they were still waiting on a couple of suspension parts. The estimate for return has moved back from the 21st to the 22nd… with the 24th being the outside day.
With the convertible top parts already in… and a new set of tires already on order… next week should be really busy… and by the weekend… fun filled too!

Well, still sore from Wednesday… and some extra traffic keep me from training last night. But I did get a chance to sign up for 3 days a week and got to watch alot of Friday’s training session. There were alot more people at the session today than I was told to expect. Heck, there were even seven women there….
I really like the attitude of the instructors and most of the “students” where cool too. Bernice ( not sure if I got it right) was there again… she seems to be a big regular there.
Hopefully I will wake up in time for Saturday mornings training. If Derek is running the class… it will be alot of punching… so I will stand a chance… since my legs are still KO’d.

Hit up Batman Begin’s last night. It was a good start and it explains alot. Caught it with Bob, Fred and Saif. If you like Batman, the comic or Batman… the first movie at least, make sure you check it out.
Side note… sitting still for almost two hours doesn’t help getting over being sore

Man o’ man… I am sore as all Hell. All this activity has got me hammered. Guess that means that I need to keep at it so that I can minimize the amount of time it takes me to recover. I would also have to say that I am looking forward to hitting class again Friday evening and if possible… Saturday morning. Not that I am a Saturday morning type of guy…
Also, helping someone move out of their old apartment the day after having the first day of serious exercise in years wasn’t a good idea either.

After training, went to hang out with Bob for a bit and then get his Harley off the back of his truck. We needed a loading dock and a ramp, off we when to look. Ran into Saif and his wife while looking, talked to them for a while and set up some stuff for Thursday evening. Unfortunately… our search failed at that time, so we headed to Jerry’s to grab some food.
Later, after South Park… we rolled out to unload the bike if possible. After some stressful failed attempts… I noticed a location that worked. After some hard work… the bike was down. A loud journey back to his parking garage… and the task was complete.
We had to declare “Miller Time”… and hung out a bit more… and called it a night.

Went to the intro class and then the level 1 Kick Boxing class last night. The main thing I have to say is that it was hard and it was a blast. I would go today but I have a scheduling problem, so I will have to go Friday and Saturday. I was surprised that I made it through the whole hour of training/practice. At some points… I was just dead tired. But with my partner and intructor’s help… I just pushed on. I will say it was pretty funny to be working with a partner that was so much shorter than me. But she was cool and didn’t get fustrated with me…. so I had a good time and learned quite a bit.
Gonna hit the bed soon… hopefull I won’t be too sore when I get up.
