Sorry the replys a bit late....only had my first Training session today after 5 days straight of drinking...not good :(

yeah the Uni has a gym, it's a bit ****e though....gonna find a new one when it's conveinent....got loads of leaflets and there is 1 relativly hardcore sounding one bout 7 mins walk away.

Jiu Jitsu on Sunday aswell

jiu Jitsu today for 2 hours....30 mins of conditioning to start of the session...It totally highlighted my lack of CV Fitness as I was knackerd after the first 10 mins.

Sporting a fat bruise on my right bicep from Muay Thai on Wednesday....not as big as it was but still pretty large.

Did Muay Thai on Monday, 40mins of conditioning/streching to begin with and woke up this morning with the most killer DOMS in my Calfs...not cool

Today had a **** session in the gym, went at 9:00pm cause I assumed that no-one would be there so I could get everything done....turns out every man and his dog is there so I was unable to do my planned workout so just cobled together a shoulder workout with some hams thrown in...it's **** like this that ****ed up my chances of winning the shape up.

Muay Thai again tomorrow.....should be painfull/tiring/insert other description

Had to sit out of Muay Thai on wednesday due to an ankle injury....initially thought it was DOMS but was told it may be my achiles tendon so was told to rest....just did punching drills instead.
