Tonight as soon as I got off the train I went home, got changed and headed to the gym. I started with the cross trainer.... Where ther other day i did 10 minutes and thought I was going to fall down dead, tonight the first 10 minutres was not so bad. .... So... thus the warm up...
While on the cross trainer, listening to Everclear - So much for the afterglow album i was watching the class going on down stairs... they were using Focus pads... the one thing that I was kinda good at... hmmm... I have to get to that class... the next is on sunday.
anyway... I was deciding which of the bags/balls I was going to work with tonight... At work today I decided that since I dont want to look like the biggest unco that walked the planet I would give myself a week to aqauaint myself with one item a night.. atleast so that I would get the basics down before doing a class. The last thing i want to do is trip over some unsuspecting with my ballet foot thing I got goin'.
Sooooo... tonight, it was Mister Speed Balls date with me... while I dont think he liked my uncoordinated hands touching after skilled people had left, I didnt give him a choice. I had time!!!!! He was either going to like it or suffer under my spack hands. It was a bit of a fight, though after about 35 mins of punching, stopping to respostion the ball... punching... getting out of synch because of a change in beat on my Ipod, Mister Speed Ball and I came to an understanding... its rather simple.. I aint goin' no where.. he is going to meet with me every time i go, weather he likes it or not... not like the sucker can run away, being screwed into the bottom of a shelf like he is! ~manic laughter follows~
( I have to thank two lovely, rather good looking, extremely sweaty guys for showing me a few tips to get the ball to behave. I am in their sweaty debt)
After he started to co-operate and i was able do repetitions that looked kinda convincing, i went back to the cross trainer and did another ten minutes. Wooohoo...
Just before stretching, i put on my gloves and decided to show the wall mounted punch mats and the heavy bag that I am serious... i dont care how long it takes... I WILL BE THE MASTER OF THEM ALL.

Discovered that Jamie and I walked 3.5km exactly last night. Have approximated that we can do another 1.5km if we keep going, turn at the shopping center and then head home. We have a date tomorrow morning.. and if i am still breathing tomorrow night, we will go again. I think 10km is a good go at it since the Gym will be closed for Australia day!
