Day 15 - High Heat

It's hot out and the temperature is rising.  Mondays are usually sprint days for me.  Since I practice yoga Sundays, I'm limber enough to take the explosive activity of sprinting.  Today, though, I decided to test where I am physically.  Crunches, pull-ups, three mile run.  Easy day, right?  Not in one-hundred-and-two-degree heat.  The twenty mile per hour winds didn't help either.  I did okay.  22 pull-ups, 100 crunches in 100 seconds and 20:00 on the run.  Good shape.  Not quite boxing shape yet but we can get there.

After that, I sparred a few rounds.  Nothing spectacular, but it was a good chance to practice my developing left hook to the body, inside work, and timing.  I need to tighten my guard up, pull my punches back to my face, and get better leverage inside.  My speed is a little lacking too, but that should come with more sprinting and core strength.  See for yourself.
