Do jang days – October 24 and 25, 2006
Tuesday, October 24, 2006 I had to drop off my Summoner staff at Lady T’s place first before going to the do jang. I ended up walking for 20 minutes to get to the subway station and got to the do jang at 7:30 p.m. I missed half the class. I took the rest of…

Running Days – October 20 and 23, 2006
Friday, October 20, 2006 I went for a two-mile run. I did the first mile in 9 minutes 7 seconds and the second mile in 10 minutes 40 seconds. My total time was 19 minutes 47 seconds. A little slow, but I’ve been a little too busy to run more often. Monday, October 23, 2006…

Training update – October 14 to 17, 2006

Running Days – October 7 and 9, 2006
MM, I went for a two-mile run on Saturday, October 7. I was missing my running again. The two-mile run was hard. My time has slowed down a bit since I have not been able to keep up with the running recently. (I blame it on the bad weather in September. It was cold and…

Tai Chi, Taekwondo, and Gym Days
MM, I went to tai chi class on Tuesday night. We got to learn more of the forms, and we got a few more tips on some of the basics. I’m happy because I remember a bit more of the forms now. I suspect it shouldn’t take me long to learn the forms, but it’s…

A Short Run – Monday, September 25, 2006
MM, Yay! I finally got out for some fresh air and a run. It was a short run though. I ended up doing so much that I didn’t have time for a longer run before I met up with Nathan. In any case, I did a half mile run at a decent pace – 4…

Do jang and gym days – September 14 and 20, 2006
MM, Wow, I managed to get into the do jang last Thursday (September 14). It was good to get back to the do jang. I’ve missed taekwondo so much. It was one of our crazy kicking classes. After I got home from the do jang, I went for a run. I ended up with some…

Training update – August 18 to September 12, 2006
MM, Yes, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted an update on my training. As I mentioned in a previous blog, I spent two and a half weeks working on my mom’s house; thus, I was too tired from all that work to go workout properly. I did manage to get some running in…
