Day 22: golden legs.
I've got a lot of nicknames here at work, but at least the ones I know of aren't so bad. Some people here have horrendous nicknames that they don't know of (a guy named 'golden legs' comes to mind). I've been working here for a shade under 4 years now, so over the years the laundry list of names for me has grown, and I find them all endearing:
Fufu
Fufu-lala
Poopoo
Knuckles
Smiles (which makes me think I come off as slightly retarded)
Marcus Aurelius
Francis (true story)
Today though, one of the new hires called me "smiley" which I didn't mind but it got me wondering if learning everything but my real name is part of the training manual for working here. Like, "here's where your desk is, and here's a list of alternate names for that guy over there. Learn them."
Maybe I should anonymously start new ones with a little more gangsta appeal to them, like "O.G. lil' smiley 1."
I've decided to lay off the running a little bit and focus more on power. I've spent the last few weeks slimming down a little and working on technique and cardio. For at least this week, I want to work on my BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE.
Today's workout:
Skip the morning run, sleep longer. Go to PKG when it opens.
1x 6min Jump rope
2x 3min Shadowboxing w/dumbbells
2x 3min Shadowboxing w/o dumbbells
6x 3min Heavybag work
Rather than focusing on pretty combinations, I just threw cavemanish power shots all day. A good example of this comes from a man who has a better nickname than all of mine combined; Ramon "The Diamond" Dekkers:
