Workout notes
(Started the day with another trip to the dentist for bite readjustment. Think it might be right this time.)
I am really looking forward to when the New Year's Resolution-ers start dropping out. The Y is way too crowded lately.
Spent a little time hammering the heavy bag, amongst the usual bike/running/weights. The heavy bag is not the proper sort of target for my style of martial arts. Also, I really must get bag gloves. Used the gloves I'd originally bought for swordfighting in the unheated facility, which were better than nothing but not at all the right sort of gloves for this. Broke a blood vessel in my hand, which is the usual result when I use a punching bag.
(It's an interesting statement about the old sword school that those gloves, which I regularly sweated heavily in and then put away wet, were still more gross on the outside than the inside.)
I need to do more balance work at home, and also more hand/wrist strengthening for properly tight fists.
