Thanks a lot Youngblood

Indeed you're right about hard pavement can be a nightmare. I'm trying to find alternate routes around the area, but it's rather hard as I live in the middle of a city. I was at a doctor some time ago and he took some measures of my foot and special-made me a shoe sole which adds up the unbalance on the rear- & front end off my foot (the middle part did not touch the floor). After I got these I have never experience much pain the days after a jog (earlier the pain would be there for 3-4 days), but only whenever I currently jog. Continuously running with that pain is likely a bad idea so I'm trying to find some alternate routes on a lighter pavement. Whenever I am home at my parents house in the weekend I usually go for long jogs in the forest as they live out on the country so the weekends are safe I was in the shop the other day and bought some Mizuno running shoes with full shock absorb so hopefully that will give me a breather aswell As for stretching I think I'm stretching my legs very well, but I must admit I have not ever stretched my back/neck.

Just like you I have problems with my lower back being sore the next morning I wake up so I looked up L-glutamine in the supplement dictionary that is here on the forum and I realize the effects documented there could really have an effect on my body, but I don't fully understand if it's legal to use those kinds of supplements in competition or not. Say if Wladimir Klitschko would use L-glutamine, would that have any risk of him not being allowed to enter a match or not? I have already considered buying Whey Protein, but I really just can't afford it at the moment having to pay the rent and all I am traveling to Mexico in December so perhaps they sell it cheaper there.. Or is it safe to buy supplements in Mexico? :P

Yeah, sparring is the bomb. :P It's really fun when the couch's participate aswell. They keep beating me up everyday

I'm writing a list of tools to create a homemade slip bag. (Just like the one in this video) heading to the hardware store at once I get permition from the house owner to screw a hook in the ceiling

Thanks for your reply Youngblood I'll definetly do my best in getting my 1st victory!
