so boxing practice has involved lots of running so I haven't been running pure 5ks as much but am planning on running one tomorrow to see where I am timewise. i am hoping for around 24:30 but we will see.

ran an old route at my parents house that used to take me 30 minutes about two months ago in 25 minutes tonight. A big improvement, but still lots of room for improvement.

Most of the guys at my boxing gym are in much better cardiovascular shape than I am, however I have been making improvements. The workouts have been completely exhausting.

Let me break down weight loss for you, eating less calories than you burn each day. You don't have to go to some fancy camp to do that. :)

Anyways ran a 14:20 2 mile today for a boxing try out and the cut off was 14:00- I was pretty close. I will be able to get it next month for sure I think.

ran a lot of stairs and sprints last night. Actually got invited to join the boxing squad which was a little unexpected due to my times missing their requirements by a little bit. I think it was a combination of good attendance and continual improvement

diasppointing news, tried to run tonight but my SI joint was out and it was too painful- only made it 400m before stopping. I think this happened either due to sleeping on it wrong or bending over too much fixing my messed up sink. I have been having problems with it before, and I think it should clear up by an update on Thursday.

Boxing has been going really well, I have been doing a lot of random road work and stair drills. I wanted to see how this
