(no subject)

I found my Sunday boxing class cancelled (no note grrr) and tried to do my own boxing workout in the empty room. I bored quickly, and although I worked up a serious sweat I hardly pushed myself at all. I spent more time doing tit-work (uh, upper-body) than drills or hitting the bag. Tonight I royally kicked my own ass in class - I never stopped trying as we did exhaustion drills ("the night of 100 punches"). I find that I am boxing-class-dependent: I cannot drive myself to the same levels as an instructor and peers can. That class pushes me to achieve what I may not on my own.

Why can't very-physically-fit girls be artists on the inside, kind and considerate, and generally wonderful people who recycle their trash? Lots of gym people are nice, but they seem more the achieving in all parts of their lives type - too much so for my taste. Unfit nice people and fit driven people.

I may never tire of this icon though.
