Weekly Summary – August 19th, 2011

Haven’t posted anything for a week, because I’ve just been running more in maintenance mode. I’m doing my sentence reps, RTK kanji reviews, etc. All while remaining immersed. But haven’t done anything new or profound lately.

Japanese

A couple of days I wasn’t able to add sentences as I was too busy. Went to PA (Pennsylvania) last weekend, and so that set me back a tiny bit. Or rather, it didn’t so much as set me back, but blocked me from moving forward (only got reviews finished).

Here are my weekly stats:

My First Sentence Pack: 383 / 576 (193 sentences left)

Total Sentences Learned So Far: 423 sentences

Fitness

Been doing the M&G Fighter Program. It’s going great. I’m actually loving it, because I’m getting to actually work on things like kicking and punching technique. In fact, this past Wednesday, we did 1500 kicks and 1500 punches. We will be moving up to 2000 next Wednesday.

As for running, I’ve started doing the Couch to 5k program, but on the treadmill. My issue is, my jogging muscles/joints are actually pretty weak. I get sore in the joints because they aren’t built up enough. Generally, I do more of a sprint/walk (I looooovveee to freaking sprint at full speed). However, I’m wanting to get jogging down better, so I’m starting back at an easy program and building them up over time. The goal being to jog flat and uphill, but open my gate up and let my stride carry me when going downhill. That’s for races, for training purposes I’ll be learning to jog downhill as well as it can give those muscles a good work out.
