Boxing class and Tabata shadowboxing 10/20/09

First of all, I have to make a piss-poor excuse for the layoff from Starting Strength, because failing early on my best lift shot my confidence all to hell, and you know how motivation goes with confidence.

Boxing class today was cool. Did two three-minute rounds of mitts. I like to think I'm getting better at wrapping my hands, though I'm not entirely sure that my wrapping method is legit.

Did a little Tabata shadowboxing in my room tonight for the hell of it. It's definitely not as vigorous as running, but it felt good. I used an internet timer, since I don't have a stopwatch. Only reason I don't run, or so I like to tell myself. Basically just threw nonstop punches and combinations (with terrible form, most likely) during the heavy 20-second intervals; did bobbing, weaving, movement, and counters during the slower 10-second intervals. Went for four minutes, as is the Tabata standard.

I need to get back on SS again, ASAP. Tomorrow looks unlikely due to homework, and Thursday's Muay Thai night, and Friday's boxing club day. That would set me back until Saturday, after a failure. I definitely don't like that, but it looks like that's how it's gonna be, unless I somehow become a god at General Relativity and finish that homework in two hours.
