Going into Monday, I was a bit worried about my achillies and I wasn't sure what I would be able to do. Walking out to the track I noted to myself that it wasn't feeling too bad; just a bit sore.
Anthony came ready to kick my ass, give me a great workout, and also rest my achillies. Monday was all about sparing. We donned the gloves and I hit the mitts and bag over and over. For those that have never boxed...Je-Sus it is hard work. You gain a new respect for the sweet science and I wasn't even being hit!
We threw various straight jabs, hooks, combos and mixed in some cover up and duck under moves. We would burn the sets out with rapid punches. The last third of the work out we moved to the turf and worked on a modified ground to standing, defense to attack mode. I'd start on the ground, on my back and punch the bag until I could defend myself while sitting. Then separate to standing and then engage to boxing. We finished the day with a good core bridge and plank work.
My achillies feels pretty good, not 100% but good.
I am looking forward to tomorrow.
Until then.
