Since I'm not officially starting yet, I'll tag these two weeks as you would the introduction to a book--with Roman numerals

Day i:

--1.5min jump rope
--10min run - 4.5mph @ 7% grade (not an outside day)
--pullups to one-before-failure (like, 4 or 5)
--3min double-end bag, 30sec RI
--3min shadow boxing, 30sec RI
--2min heavy bag
--pullups to one-before-failure
--5min run - 4mph @ 2% grade
--chinups to one-before-failure
--10min boxing drills with instructor, 60sec RI
--2min heavy bag, 60sec RI
--chinups to one-before-failure
--3min run - 6mph @ 1% grade
--chinups to one-before-failure (1, at this point)
--pushups to one-before-failure

I can tell I haven't run since the end of last summer. Overall, I went to the point where I couldn't think of anything else to do that would be productive. No more running, no more pullups, no more boxing. It feels like the end of every wrestling practice I ever had. I wonder if it'd be okay to do a go-until-you-almost-puke workout four or five days per week as long as I didn't hit the same thing every day (except for maybe alternating running and stairclimbing day-to-day).

I like that my boxing gym is so small that I can easily move from one thing to another without wasting any time (other than putting on or taking off gloves). My regular gym has that lovely warehouse feel, so I might be able to get my running done between exercises. I really don't feel like dealing with all the book-reading, cell-phone-using pricks on the cardio machines, but such is life at the fru-fru gym.
