Tag: 30daysofkrav

Today after work I spent 30 minutes on the elliptical (even though I really just wanted to relax). I’m glad that’s what i did though since I didn’t have much chance to do Krav tonight. Instead, I re-watched the P3 video. I figure doing cardio and reviewing the techniques is a good approach.

I lifted weights and used the elliptical on Tuesday – nothing to write home about there. It was my last night of non-Krav workout before CIC.

Last night my Krav activity primarily consisted of teaching. After that, Michael and I went over some ground work, and then he showed me how to use focus mitts to add to our activities. I was in kind of a rush because I wanted to take Nik out to dinner for his birthday, but Michael and I agreed to review a few skills and then either use the focus mitts or do some sparring (or slow fighting) each day after class.

Tonight I’m going to make Nik spar with me a little bit. I realized that I haven’t done any sparring since I got my eyes fixed. I’m a bit apprehensive since I noticed recently that I still act like my vision is impaired (trying to correct for depth perception problems that aren’t there, for instance). Because it’s been so long, I’m not used to hitting and being hit. That needs to change this month.

On Thursday I rested.

Friday after work I tried out my new sneakers on the outdoor track. The results weren’t promising, and I was super apprehensive about the run. I went to fencing practice that night and went over some basic I.33 with the class. I’ve also been helping CC find her fight and become more aggressive (because of her stature, she really needs to get in close and fast if she wants to win). I’m seeing some progress and am proud of her.

On Saturday I did the McGuire’s 5K with my friends from Krav. Michael and I ran together (and walked a few stretches). The ship in my identification bib didn’t work, so I don’t know my exact time. I know I crossed the finish line at 9:50. The starting gun went off at 9, but it took us some time to get to the start line. Unfortunately I didn’t think to look at my phone when we started, so suffice to say my 5K took less than 50 minutes. I’m okay with that. I spent the rest of the day hanging out with my friends, enjoying adult beverages, and watching the bands play. That was my last hurrah until CIC. No sweets, fast food, or alcohol until I get back.

Sunday I was super miserable and sunburned because I forgot to wear sunscreen (at least I wasn’t hungover). I spent my time getting ready for the week ahead and working on a project for my job. Nik took me for a Poke-walk at the nature trail around dusk so that I wouldn’t be further harmed by the daystar.

Last night was Krav night. Michael lost his voice, so Kita taught with me. We had only two students this time, so we each took one and went over some skills; then we switched to do some review. That’s one hell of a student/teacher ratio!

I intend to visit the gym after work today. I like the camaraderie of going with Nik, but I also know that it’s faster if I go by myself (he likes to workout for a couple hours at a time). I’m still deciding what I want to do.

Tomorrow will be one month to the day before CIC starts. To prepare, I’m going to do what I always do and fight (or study) for 30 days.
