“Results” Class
I just got home from a circuit training conditioning class at a nearby martial arts studio. Holy crap. I hardly ever partake in circuit training–I tend to prefer more measurable exercises that I can “program”, like weight lifting and running. I’m not particularly opposed to circuit training, as a lot of specialists in those two are. They like to argue that circuit training (with Crossfit as the big-name villain) produces folks that can do a bit of many things, but aren’t good at anything. Well, I’ll tell you what.

I hate to let that sort of thing go to waste, so I bit the silliness bullet and tried putting one of my danglies in my second ear piercing: Surprisingly less weird than I thought it’d be. I kinda like it. I felt a bit like a Bajoran. After my rather painful and bruising attempt to stretch to 4g this past weekend, I ordered myself a nice pair…
