Day 16 - Martial Arts + Running

Went out to the trails in the morning and ran and did some intervals. 2.67 miles, 35:12, 13:10 p/m pace.

3 hours Kyuki-Do class. Helped with the little kids class, worked out at the adult class and the advanced class later. Still running through stuff for the test.

Looking at myself in the mirror at class I just get disgusted with how huge my rear end is. Gotta get rid of that, it's in my way. On the plus side, I weighed this morning and I'm not as heavy as I thought I was. 136.6. If I try to get down to 115 that's 21.6 more pounds. I don't know, I'll see how I feel (and look) when I get down below 130. The only other time I was below that weight was last year after I had the flu for 5 days. It felt good to be that skinny -- except for the parts where I couldn't sit up or walk more that 10 feet at a time.

Day 15 - Kyuki-Do

1/2 hour Tai-Chi (yang style long form). 1 hour Kyuki-Do class. We have a belt test coming up so we ran through the test. Pretty good workout. I worked on my bo form -- for some reason that is like sprinting for me. I don't know if I'm just swinging for all I'm worth or what, but when I've done it 4-5 times in a row I'm wiped out.

Days 6-14

Sick. Very frustrating. I always get sick right when I'm starting to get somewhere. I have to start eating better.

One day I did do some running on the treadmill. I ran 2 miles and walked 5 for a warmup and 1 after I finished running.
