So most of boxing class is just technique with some sprints and groundwork like push ups or sit ups at the end. To get everyone conditioned they set up a fourth practice of the week that's focused on running and muscle endurance. It lasts half an hour.
Today was the first one and I was the only one who showed up other than the coach. We waited and stretched and watched students walk by and I even saw Will headed back to Ffridd site. And then the breeze turned into 25 mph winds, and then it rained--sidaways.
We ran down steps, then down hills on wet stone, then we went up steps and at the top he said "might as well go the extra mile" and we ran up twenty more steps. We did the ~400 meter loop four times then he told me to run back to my dorm, without stopping during the half mile up hill, and then I was to do as many types of sit ups as I could think up and do three sets of them, each for thirty seconds.
And I did all of this with my banged up knee, which is still sore and swollen. I'm awesome so I deserve pizza.
