It's been a while since I've posted anything, regrettably really because besides the fact that I haven't really been keeping my training or anything else in proper order. I feel like crap today, mentally and physically I'm just worn down. I gained about 8 pounds like I was in Florida (we ate so much!), and I haven't had a proper workout in God-only-knows-how-long. With this exam tonight, I feel like I'll be able to get into some kind of proper swing again with everything, but I can't afford to ignore this exam to go and workout the way I wish I could.
Tomorrow, I don't have classes but I am bringing my brother to campus so he can get a feel for what it's like. I was hoping to let him sit in on a class, but as my one class of the day has been cancelled, that won't be happening. That just means I can leave the house later, and I will have time during the morning to get in a proper workout. I feel strange lifting out of sync on a Friday, so what I'm really hoping to do tomorrow morning is go out for a run as early as possible (ideally 5:30 or 6am), and then do a good long calisthenic routine plus some sprints if my knees hold up that long.
It's way past time for me to truly be in some kind of decent shape, but I feel like this semester has just been beating me down so much that my diet has gone to hell, and I haven't been getting proper workouts at the dojo. Technically the training sessions are fine, but they aren't doing much for my cardio, speed or strength. I've always known I couldn't rely solely on karate to get me in shape, but I wish I could.
Without exception I'm out the door tomorrow morning with my running shoes on! Minimum run of 2 miles, if I feel like I can go longer maybe I will. I just will not go less than that, I refuse to believe that I'm starting literally at square one all over again.
Wish me luck!
