I'm back at the gym.
It's been a while, but I'm going a few times a week, hooray.
The gym recently set up a boxing suite, for lack of a better term. It has a heavy bag, a bag attached to the top and the bottom (no idea what it's called) and a SPEED BAG.
Now, my dad owned a gym. I actually remember hanging out at the gym and taking naps on the bench press bench. (Explains a lot, doesn't it.) But I never have been a big boxer.
UNTIL NOW.
After seeing Million Dollar Baby I can thankfully say that I don't look like a total idiot when going at the speed bag. I started out slow and after a few days I'm not horrible.
For those of you who have never hit a speed bag, it puts your arms in a very precarious position. It hurts after a while holding them up like that. But it's really fun.
I'm going to keep practicing and then...well I don't know what, but whatever it is, I'll be ready!
