Two of my friends joined a boxing club at the beginning of the month. One of the enticements to get people to join this club is that you get your first shot free. So yesterday I joined the two of them for their 9 am boxing class. It was awesome, overall. The class was an hour long, which included the warm-up, the boxing, ab work, and the cool down. I had a good time and I really enjoyed punching the bag. Yes, if you're wondering, I did join, and I plan to head there tomorrow for another round of boxing. They also offer kickboxing, which I think we may be doing later in the week.
There's only one downside to all of this. Every single muscle in my body aches today. This isn't just a running ache, where your legs hurt, but you can manage. This is legs, abs, arms, chest, and back muscles. If there's a muscle in my body, it's aching. But I had to go for a run today, since I didn't do a long run this weekend. In fact, I haven't gone since Wednesday last, I believe. So, after suffering through a torturous day of aches and pains, I decided to suck it up and go for a shorter run. 6.2 miles, because I figured it would be like running the last 6.2 of the marathon. Really, it gave me a small idea of what it's going to be like, running on legs that feel like they're about to give out and having every muscle ache. I'm sure it was a worthwhile experience. The only problem, now that everything is done, is moving. It hurts to stand, to sit, to walk up or down stairs. I can't even sit up from a half-way lounging position without a struggle. It's really a huge issue because I have laundry to do and I have to go down to the basement to put it in the dryer. Everything hurts and it's torture. So, why not do it again tomorrow?
