nah nah adarq, if you keep getting into running i give even odds that you end up doing an ultra. maybe not a hundred, but an ultra. you don't seem to do things halfway very much...

hah.. ya something is wrong (or not) with me.

well, I'd like to run at least marathon distance fairly fast.. I just like there to be some decent speed component. Running "long" and "fast" has always felt amazing to me. Going to have lots of free time soon, ie, no work for a while ;0. Probably will register for some 5-10k's and stuff etc.

Regarding "doing things halfway"; i've put in my resignation at the startup i've been working at for the last 2 years, in order to take ~8-12 months off to focus hard on mathematics/computer science. Need to fix my foundation. Plus, i'm just obsessed with the academic side of computer science & recently mathematics. I just love learning. Need to eventually find out how to get paid researching from home :)

Boxing / Re: 13/12/2014 a great a night of boxing
« on: December 17, 2014, 12:23:32 am »
excellent night of fights..

you forgot one mention: Andy Lee.

Dude he is becoming so predictable. He gets beat for most of the fight then somehow KO's his opponent. When people get too confident against him, they get caught. Then it's game over.

Andy Lee has been very impressive lately. Korobov is no joke, highly touted prospect. He fought decent against korobov then hit him with that canon.

Also, Mares looked very impressive. His opponent was tough, not necessarily highly skilled. Mares had a few ~8-10 punch combinations in that fight, so much speed + power. He's looking good lately. I lost hope for him last year, but he's earning that respect back. Looks like he's definitely improving.

Wow what an excellent night of boxing, loved the hbo fight and showtime. firstly bradley vs chaves

that guy is tough, but bradley had a good gameplan of boxing and trying to power punch the other guy is good aswell, he was good counter punching and can take a punch and that guy was swinging and countering, and they both were trying to knockout each other from round 1 without any signs of tiring, but when I heard one person gave it to chaves, i was like what?, second guy gave it to bradley was good than i was thinking the third guy is a good judge and he gave it a draw  :uhcomeon: i was shocked. man bradley's eyes swole up, on the cheek aswell lol.

ya wtf was up with his cheek? was his jaw broken? everyone kept mentioning his eye but damn his cheek was wrecked.

It was a decent fight for sure, i'm just always in awe of bradley's lack of power.. He needs to tighten up his punches, he throws lots of sloppy shots (though with good speed etc).

the thurman fight was good, but the 40 year old fighter was good also, he would not go down but he was also undefeated, but he was very awkward for thurman, thurman was not able to do much, so funny everybody boing thurman because he didn't knockhim out, pathetic, but he said I will fight the way i want to fight lol, they are not the ones boxing.

Very impressed with Bundu's conditioning/speed/ability. He's such an awkward fight. Those fans suck for booing because that was definitely a tough fight for Thurman. Thurman didn't look as powerful as normal, perhaps too many shoulder injuries as of late? I just think Bundu was hard for him to time/predict. I imagine he's a tough fight for anyone. I was impressed with Thurman's boxing ability. He's the total package: power + skill.

finally, khan vs alexander, a favorite fight, i like this khan more, very minimum holding, this is the khan i knew and liked, he was fast and he doesn't have knockout power so khan didn't have to be very cautious but sometimes he would jump in but it was a little and go caught but composed himself and continued, he was very good fast and would love to see khan vs mayweather.

Alexander has pretty much become a sparring partner.. The guy just can't "turn it on" (hit that next gear).. really sucks because he's obviously talented.

Khan came out pretty fierce to start that fight. He acts so much different now. He has lots of 'angry aggression'.

Quote
so an excellent knight of fighting, the first fight on the hbo broadcast, the decision was outrageos, i heard, saw highlight, can't believe they gave the decision to benavidez, lol, cost him the title.

I feel bad for Herrera.. This is the second time i've seen him robbed. I watched him beat Danny Garcia in Puerto Rico only to get robbed by the judges, just like he did in this fight.. Some people have no luck.

Boxing needs to be investigated, this shit is becoming criminal.

:headbang: great fights

ya!

Did you notice that, everyone who fought 'backing up' won? Something to be said about that..


Mayweather/Pacquiao getting closer.. lots of shit talking/calling each other out.. hope that fight gets made, would be enormous.

pC!

go.get.it.

ha nice. I think the most i'd ever do though is a marathon. Running for 20+ hours straight seems a bit much. ;f



12/13/14

bw = 177

great run.

All of the rest/good eating i've been doing is starting to pay off. I've been eating lots of veggie stir frys lately. Packed with broccoli/carrots/jalapeno/mushrooms etc. Need to mix it up for my next batch of veggies which i'll get tomorrow.

1 hour 40 min run
- Ran the same distance I ran last time, plus ~2 miles, in a total of 20min less
- ^^ good progress
- Felt bouncy tonight.. finally. I was getting some decent 'air' (lol) when I'd 'slrvj' onto the curbs etc.
- Was able to keep a fast pace the entire run.
- I fell towards the end, tripped on a broken piece of sidewalk. lul.

gn!

ya the ref was confused, i think mostly due to the fact that the doctor who urged it to be stopped, wasn't even the real ring doc.. it was some athletic commission guy (one of the high ups i think).

bradley / chavez tmw!@#@$

Great night of fights.

Lemieux hits HARD. Rosado is always tough, I think that's the worst I've seen him get beat. Lemieux was punching right through him, so much power.

Centeno is very impressive. Lanky as hell but has some decent power. His jab is ridiculous. Definitely want to see him again.

I though Lundy was the better fighter vs Dulrome. Not sure if he won it on cards, it could have gone either way, but Lundy was definitely there to win. He was stalking Dulrome the entire fight and had him in all of the later rounds. Dulrome doesn't like being in those kinds of fights, it's obvious. He's not as good as people think. If Lundy just tightened up his shots he would have landed more, he wings his shots too much, but at least you know he wants to kill his opponent.

Next week, tons of good fights:

HBO:

Bradley / Chavez
Lee / Korobov

Showtime:

Khan / Alexander
Thurman / Bundu


HBO's lineup is better but I love watching Thurman. Thurman has lethal power and boxing skill, total package. Bradley / Chavez is going to be a War.

~2 hour run
- felt decent until the last 3 miles or so, TFL started getting fatigued

Wanted to get this run in a few days ago but out of nowhere my calf/tricep started hurting.. eh! Recovery from the first ~2 hour run took 3 days or so then I felt good.

So far, feel better than last time the day following.

I'd like to get in another one of these runs on Wednesday. Eventually i'd like to break the 3 hour mark and feel comfortable the entire time.

how you doing these days man?

job, life, training, etc haha

sup man

life decent, job chaotic, training sporadic, passion consistent (programming etc). As for training, just trying to get some long runs in, start pushing myself a bit more.

As for comp sci:

Focused on improving my base (math/comp sci) significantly over the next 12 months (2015). Emphasis on math.

I'll be getting much more free time soon, going to really focus everything and start truly correcting my weaknesses. I'm always trying but, with more free time I won't have to battle the daily fatigue that I do now.

Lots to do as usual.. always having fun learning & trying to improve.

Once I address these weaknesses and fix my foundation, I'll have even more fun.

failed to attempt my bigger distance goal.. was very tired.

also, going to stop running in vibram's for a while.. my feet ache a bit too much lately during/after runs.

going to use my new balance minimus trails..

~3.5mi run
- slow/tired but the run itself felt comfortable for my feet


my nbmt's provide more cushion + i'm using thick socks.. vibram's = no socks. These nbmt's have a vibram sole so it's not like they are that much thicker. I bet alot of it has to do with the socks ;f
