    Hockey is fun as hell. I wish I had played it more when I was a kid. I can play now, but my game leaves a lot to be desired.

    I'm still in good shape, I exercise, but it isn't near the conditioning I was going through when I was boxing or kickboxing. Now I feel like all the exercise I do is just maintenence. I don't push myself enough anymore.

    Drink a little much too.

    god youre sexy

    I remember in karate I had to do rows and rows of pushups, situps, running, and jumping jacks. and that was just the wind down/warm up. Fun fun! I have very strong endurance and discipline now.

    i alternate phases where i get healthy and really get going and then slowly slack off and devolve into a beer-drinking chain-smoking machine. until i get sick of feeling like shit, and then i go healthy for another 6 months or so.

    That's awesome. Nothing better then a girl who can beat you up. [​IMG]

    I've been boxing since I was 13, and taking Muay Thai since I was 17. I've been taking Kyo Karate for the past year.

    Hope you have fun.

    Yay, Chuck. Now you'll be well-equipped to chase down and kill any Iraqis who might have the audacity to try to run away.

    Chuck could be a soldier who doesn't kill civilians too.

    Of course you don't get a bonus that way. [​IMG]

    Ft. Sill....that blows. My boyfriend was at Ft. Leonardwood. My mom went to Ft. Dix. My dad was also at Ft. Leonardwood.
    The bf said Basic was hell, but he would do it all over again. He got the top score in his unit on the PT test. He was a Chemical Operations man....what're you going in for?
    Don't steal the Seargant's hat....if you do, post pictures! :D
    Good luck, Jam Master Chuck! :D
    (PS....that extra $100 you're making....you could always send that to me, ya know....for all that good forum lovin' I've given. Haha.)

    Thanks.... before yesterday I hadn't ran a sub-5:30 mile since 7th grade. I haven't even really been running too much this summer, but I was with a super fit football player who went to my school, if it weren't for me wanting to beat him I probably would've done 14:00 or some such shit. :eek:

    Thank you, and I'm sorry. :p

    That's what I'm hoping for!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll probably go to whatever overseas deployment I'm offered if I have a choice, just cos I may not get the opportunity to ever do that again... and penpalling would be pretty awesome. :D

    I haven't received snail mail from someone since........ hmm quite a while ago I think :p

    Well at the start of this summer I couldn't even do 15 situps in one go... to get in shape for the PT test I just ran and after every half of a mile or so I would do a set a 15 and do 6 or 7 of these sets a day... worked out pretty well if I do say so meself. :p
    Situps weren't too bad.. I never really did them this summer though.

    I might do that pyramid stuff... but I doubt it. :p After a summer of semi-hard core exercising, my summer break has begun, yay. :D It'll only be 8 more days but oh well.

    You make it sound so fun. :D

    A guy I had went to school with was 17 situps away from maxing the test... max 2 mile run for our age was 13:05 or something. :p
