Posted by Lieutenant Miriam Cross (Chief Medical Officer) in Cross struggling within-
Cross was rubbing her tired eyes,just as Hunter entered for his night shift ‘’Doctor Cross you do look tired ,rough day?’’ he asked as he made his way for the first cup of coffee ‘’Say’’ the male doctor went on ‘’You don’t know how my mug got broken in two do you?’‘. Seeing Cross did not respond he felt that maybe she was not up to converse.
Then the N.O entered ‘’Cross why don’t you leave,I’ll give the over to doctor Hunter’’ .She nodded and the only word was a simple ‘’Good night’‘.

Out of sickbay the female doctor headed to the gym,she eyed the black punch bag which she used in the past Not any more Cross sighed. Putting on the punching gloves she headed to the smaller punch bag.Tired as she felt Cross did not want to give in ‘’ Anything for a good night sleep’’ she muttered under her breath.

Remembering way back the trainer repeated that one should hit the bag not push it.Commonly referred to as pushing punches, which are extremely powerful punches that aim to destroy the target and have longer contact with it to cause maximum damage. Snap punches, on the other hand, aim to have minimal contact with the target by just hitting it and immediately returning after making the contact. Snapping is considered to have a stronger effect than pushing as it allows you to punch faster and harder using less energy.

With that in mind Cross started to exercise but not for long ,with perspiration running down her face the female doctor had to stop and fell on one knee breathing heavily.The frustration she felt was both painstakingly tough and crushing.

Joe walked in just in the middle of Cross swinging and ooomphing as she was swinging at the small bag. He couldn’t help but to be quiet and watch her with his brows knitted. Something was wrong with what was going on here, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Finally, as she had given up, he walked across the gym toward the large black body bag. He turned to her as he passed and smiling asked her “Learning how to hurt them so can fixed them Miri? ” He shook his head and fished by saying, “Business must be slow. ” Joe was wearing a workout outfit with a sleeveless top. He looked for a clean pair of gloves that would fit and finding them began to slip them on as he stood in front of the bag. Looking over at Miri he decided not to kid her anymore. Not for a while anyway Joe started his workout simply three fast jabs with his right hand followed by two with his left before switching them up Then suddenly stepping back, he gave the bag two flying kicks followed by a series of jabs and upper cuts

Joe then stepped away sweat now dripping off his brow and looking over at Miri said with a laugh as he panted. “Not as young as I once was Miri .” He took a quick drink of water and then attacked the bag again. Finally stopping again, he asked Cross, “So I don’t see you down here much Miri, What’s the occasion? “
