Took my mothers car to the gym. Warmed up for about half an hour. After that we were called into the ring taking turns against each other, with 4 guys. I did about 5 two minute rounds, and 1 four minute round. Things went ok, landed a lot actually. Did not take much, except for a nasty punch on the back of the head that had me dizzy for a few seconds. Not intentional though, so I can't blame him.

Thu Nov 27

Biked 5 miles to the gym. Was way too early so I jumped rope and shadowboxed for about 35 to 40 minutes. After that did 5 or 6 rounds on the bag. My bag partner (we team up on busy days) was a very fast, experienced and technically sound guy so I got a lot of good advice. He started young and has a lot of raw talent. He always expects me to perform at a level way over my head, which I think is flattering because apparently he thinks I can do it. He said my technique is missing the "dots on the i". Got some good advice I plan on working on in the next few weeks.

Went into the ring after that with a guy I haven't sparred with for a while. Very aggressive, bob and weave type of guy. Got hit a bit too often, but as the rounds progressed I got more into my rhythm. No marks from punches, just a lump on my forehead from an accidental head butt (yeah I know, should have worn head gear I didn't feel like it and I don't get hit flush much anyway). I'm sparring him again on Saturday. Did about 5 rounds of 2 minutes.

Cooled down, and biked back home at high speed. Total workout time about 2.5 hours.

Mon Dec 1

Biked to the gym, 5 miles. Was way too early once again so I did about 40 minutes of jump rope, shadowboxing, bodyweight exercises and dynamic stretching. After that went 6 rounds on the bag. Got into the ring with a welter southpaw (I'm light welter myself), we did about 6 or 7 rounds. Went great, especially defensive. Landed some good punches, didn't take too much. Did a full static stretch routine and biked back home, 5 miles.

Tue Dec 2

Borrowed me moms car this afternoon so no biking. Warmed up, 25 minutes. Did some mitt / glove work with a partner. After that we did infighting drills in the ring, defending on the ropes stuff like that. Some light sparring in close range after that. Stretched and drove home.
