Today was a pretty good day. Work held a nice little twist for me- there was a local news show that came in to do a segment on the new batman movie ended up being impressed with some of the batman knowledge I spouted off the cuff and had me do a little segment on some Batman history. (for those of you in Edmonton its Shaw channel 10, and the segmentss on onec an hour at about 45 after until 3:45 tomorrow) So that was that
Then at kickboxing I was paired up with a pretty heavyweight guy for practicing knees to the midsection, and boy did he ever work me over. The last segment of the class involved taking forty shots to the gut for power, followed by forty shots to the gut for speed, and then taking forty of the knee technique we did in the gut. My innards were thoroughly pulped with the way this guy laid into me. (I asked the coach after if there was any sort of thing I could do at home in the off days to make it easier, and he said short of just taking the shots and building up a tolerance, there aint much- but he reminded me there are weight classes for a reason, and he said that my partner hits harder than most, which was a bit of a comfort to know) so I am gonna take my made for TV face and tenderized ass to bed.
