Did a deload workout on Monday that I neglected to record, then did a 2.25 mile jog on Tuesday. Felt a bit under the weather and was going to rest, but when I got home I felt like going on the jog.

Wednesday boxing was with 2 coaches, which is a change. I haven't worked with coach Dominic in a few weeks, but he seemed extremely enthused to see me, which I wasn't expecting and was very cool of him. My group within the class started out with drilling jabs and straights using an empty barbell set-up like a landmine press. 

I'll be honest, it was starting off like this and then waiting for awhile for the bell to start to do an exercise that I knew wasn't going to challenge me or develop much power when I started to think that there's a reason I prefer coming in on Tuesdays versus Wednesdays lately. And I was right, there was nothing to popping up an empty bar for 3 minutes. But we rotated with the other groups to doing it with exercise bands that were tied to the punching bag posts and because everyone avoided the thick purple band, I got to use that one. That was a decent workout punching with it for 3 minutes. 

Final rotation was pairing with partners to practice pivoting out of a clinch. Everyone immediately paired up with someone, leaving me out - which I took as a great compliment. I worked with the coach, and instead of two partners trading off, I did several rounds of being the only striker. Double jab - clinch first round, lunging body jab - clinch second round, and third round a mix of both. Having to keep jabbing and lunging forward for 3 rounds was another good workout and I worked up a sweat by the end.
