February 16th

Last day of the Chinese new year holiday, and I went shopping for a punching bag. I bought the wall bracket, concrete anchors and ordered the bag online. Really looking forward to getting it.

Not a great day for the diet! Oh well, the biryani was bloody delicious.

Stretches

It was getting late, so I didn't do the usual interval cycling at the end of the session. Good workout though. My ankle/top of foot feels a bit better, I think I just need to limit the amount of skipping I do, build up slowly.

Vanda tomorrow, potentially some sparring. Probably going to buy my own gloves.

53 days to go..
