Loves and Punches xxxxx

The exhaustion that I'm feeling tonight is throbbing in both my big toes. We did kick to knee combos and being the first challenge in a while and coming off of a 4 day hiatus, it left me shaking like a leaf.  

Roxy's Challenge: 

3 sets of 100 punches and 15 burpees on your gloves.  

oooh nellyyyy.....

Everything for me today was in slow motion, my timing with the connection of the kick and the knee was too far apart, the pivoting on my hook was yet again a problem.  I could continue on everything that was extremely lack luster, but I'm trying to stay positive.  I'm going to start pinpointing goals I want to work on and then add on weekly.  This weeks goal is definitely to pivot.  Although the floor is tough because its hard wood, its still no excuse to get lazy.  PIVOT!   

The class has started sparring, but due to other things I have not been able to attend a sparring class. I can't wait until this Saturday, it will be my first Muay Thai sparring match and from this I'll definitely be able to see what needs work. 

Mom and Dad were in town this weekend, it was awesome and restful.  We did our Costco run, which is tradition.  There's something about Costco that brings this safe and comfy feeling inside.  The three of us went counter to counter, tasting all the sample goodness they are known for, then it just seemed overwhelming and we all decided it was leave now or die.  It was one of our mellower visits, but I embraced it whole heartedly.  It was just so nice to pop in movie after movie, eat, chat, repeat.  

It's a weekend that I really needed.  

My eyes are closing, my knees are knocking, and my hands are weak from todays drills--all that and with a nice bowl of pasta in my belly, sleep is not going to be hard to surrender to.

Hugs and punches, xo.
