Thanks Chris.

Did my run & boxing class.

Fri

I felt like my fitness at boxing was pretty good, so I think the conditioning drills & hill intervals are helping.

Today:
Burpee intervals:
6 x 3 mins alternating 30 secs burpees, 30 secs skipping.
1 min rest.

Weight: 10st 11lbs.

Sunday

Bag session. Focus on technique coming along. Upped intensity.
7 mile run. With my SO. Very hot out there this morning.

Watched "Jawbone" yesterday. Not that I'm obsessing about boxing, you understand.

[Chris McCarthy]

Are you obsessing about Boxing, by any chance?

[solitaire]

Yeah, little bit.

Press (50kg): 3 sets of 5.
Pleased, because I haven't managed this for a while.

Just didn't feel ready to go to 67.5kg.

Squat (102.5kg): 3 sets of 5.
Slight increase, happy with that. 105 next time.

Deadlift (125kg): 5.
Another small increase.

Been using 5kg for ever, so thought I'd add a bit.
