Punching Out the Boredom
I've been skating a lot lately, and I've been hitting the weights, but I got so bored with running. And jumping rope? Dull, dull, dull.
So, I bought a little something today:
Now, they're kinda lame in that you are shadowboxing with gloves on as if you were really an MMA fighter, but they were only 9 bucks and came with a (pretty weak) fitness DVD. I have always loved using heavy bags, shadow boxing etc... so now I can get some good resistance and cardio at the same time.

Massage/.com
I got a full, one hour massage yesterday. It was amazing.
Something that I've neglected while on this fitness path is relaxation. I'm not good at relaxing. I have a hard time sitting through an entire movie because I feel the need to work on something. I have this overwhelming desire to create whether it is a blog post, an article, my skateboard magazine (Luchaskate), music (I have a band called Lucha and the Flatspots), or to create skateboarding. I believe the act of skateboarding is like dance, you create something that lives, in an original state, only in that moment. You can video the action, but it is never the same as the moment it is created.
So, laying down for a massage was a very new, eye opening experience. It was amazing. I learned that I NEED to slow down sometimes. I've not been doing my yoga/stretching. I've been so busy, and this is THE BEST time of the year to be a skateboarder. While it is hot, it doesn't rain much and if it does rain, it dries very quickly. I've been skating four or five times a week and continuing to work out.
In my desire to create, I've been thinking of creating a static website based on the blog. Rather than detailing my day to day experiences, I'm thinking of writing articles based on what I'm seeing and learning. I'll let you know more as I get the website planned and started.
