		<title>Managing Supply Lines in War, and In Boxing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about conserving  energy in the ring. Apparently thus far I&#8217;ve been dense, because I never think about it while in the ring. I do what I want to do and if I gas, I curse my training. Yet I&#8217;m in control of my breathing, my work rate and rest periods.

		<title>Feeling Great With My Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m feeling really good, confidence is at an all time high. This week I&#8217;m eager to get in my sparring, show what I can do and display my improved endurance.
Comparing myself now with how I was a few years back before my long layoff, I&#8217;m a completely different boxer. My footwork is 10X better, I&#8217;m a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ran Sprints, Foot Feeling Better</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I ran 3.5 miles intermixed with 18 hundred yard sprints. I was worried about my arch, but the rest over the weekend, anti-inflammatories and night splint are healing my plantar fasciitis at a rapid rate. Tomorrow I&#8217;m going to get up early and run three 8 min miles to get the blood flowing and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on Overtraining, Aching Foot &amp; More</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After gassing during last Thursday&#8217;s sparring and ranting on the ol&#8217; blog, my wife pointed out that I was cutting lots of calories last week. I added some back Friday and immediately I felt better and had an energetic workout that night.

		<title>Last Night&#8217;s Sparring, Evidence of Overtraining?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night is the scheduled sparring. The prior week I did 3 rounds with 30 sec breaks no problem, then went back for 2 more later in the night. But last night is a disaster.

		<title>Am I On An Overtraining Death March?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Death March, as in a soldier traveling a long distance in harsh conditions without the proper rest or supplies, entering battle already exhausted and beat down. Napoleon sent his men on a death march into the Russian Winter and sealed his (and their) fate before the fight even started. I’m starting to think I’m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coach Gives Me His Philosophy &amp; Running Plan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before the lecture Friday coach lays out his simple philosophy:

Run a LOT
Spar a LOT
Train hard
Then spar and run a lot more

He wants me to have 40-50 rounds of sparring minimum before this fight. I already have logged 11 and at the rate we&#8217;re going traveling to gyms for partners, I&#8217;ll make 40 no problem. If we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After my trainer dressed me down a bit Friday night, he says he wants me to go running with him and an Olympic sprinter in-training the following morning at 8:30 AM.
I left the conversation a little put off and decided to have my last undisciplined night for the next 6 weeks of &#8220;camp.&#8221; My wife &#38; son [...]]]></description>
