Time to get the heavy bag in place and work through some solid combinations

My Friday after-work. Time to get the heavy bag in place and work through some solid combinations.

It has been a day with several bowls of oatmeal, so I should be fit for the fight. This is my first boxing session of the week. The other days have been filled with walking, cycling and kettlebells. An OK week.

And because it is Friday, I thought an oatmeal stout would be the perfect finish. For anyone completely lost by now, it is a dark beer style closely related to porter. No luck finding one, though. Everyone seems to go for lager or pilsner on a Friday. A rather boring choice, if you ask me.

Alone in the dark, as autumn has caught the light and it begins to get dark around my usual outdoor training time.

My version of the Rumble in the Jungle. Not quite the way Foreman and Ali did it in Kinshasa in 1974, but probably the closest I can get in my own garden. Just the gloves and a reason to start exercising.
