The Journey of a White Belt

 4 months, 2-3x a week. Sore legs, bruises, burning thighs, pulled muscles. Sweat, vomit, stubbed toes. Hundreds (probably thousands) of push-ups, sit-ups, knee-ups, ki-ups. Pads, turtles, jump rope, running drills, warm ups. 19 move form (Chun-ji), Korean vocabulary, 3 sparring drills, blocks, punches, kicks, close to perfect precision…and finally a double board break with an [...]

New Sneaks, New Orleans, New Cold…

Well a long time ago, I bought my ‘turning a new leaf’ sneakers. Remember that post? And I tore those suckers into the ground! Got holes in them, mishapened, dirty. They covered a lot of miles. Not only with trying to run, but definitely walking and biking. They had to have seen well over 500 miles [...]

#10 I can bench press my dog…

I decided to mix up my workout routine with some REAL weight training. It’s my least favorite thing to do, I don’t know why. But I also know it’s the best thing for me.   I bought a buywithme coupon to Avalon Fitness in Charlestown. They offer small classes with professional instructors. Classes like Boxing, [...]

#10 I’ll try anything twice…

Last night I tried hot yoga again. What I didn’t like about the first experience was this: – Didn’t like the instructor, too touchy, too loud, not calming, ran poses WAY too fast. – I went at 7am, and it was SO noisy (since its located on a busy street) – I sweat like a [...]

Taekwondezzy, Kee-YA!!

So I FINALLY did it. I joined Taekwondo at the C.W. Taekwondo Boston studio. Took me awhile to build up the courage, and finally settle into a normal schedule. I went to the free trial class last night, and I expected to sleep on it before I wrote a check and signed the paperwork. BUT, [...]

Blondes are noticed but redheads are never forgotten…

“Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead.” – Lucille Ball So, we remember my post about what color/style I was teetering on. I decided. Red *POW!* And I absolutely love it.  Straight outta the box.  It was immediately vetoed by my mother, per usual, but [...]

#10. Nobody looks good with brain damage

Beautiful day to ride my bike to work. I LOVE that its getting easier and easier, and getting there faster! I just read an article on Boston.com about cars and bikes sharing the road. I’m very lucky 90% of my commute is done on Memorial drive, plenty of room for all the runner/joggers/cyclists. I’ve had [...]

#10. I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike.

I’ve replaced running with bicyle-ing… bicycling? Biking…. I’ve replaced it with biking. Much easier on the knees, tough on the tooshie. I used to commute to work via bike, around 8 miles round trip downtown. Got a new job, and rode my bike 4 miles round trip. Then a new job.. and had to commute [...]
