PSA
So you think you're in shape, eh? You think you do a fair amount of running, and you think you can take on whatever sort of "cardio" class your gym offers as cross-training on your off day. Sure, you'll work up a sweat, but you won't really get your heart rate up. You won't really tire yourself out. You'll be fine for your run the next morning. Just fine. After all, it's just kickboxing. Worst-case scenario? Your arms are sore the next day. But that's OK. The arms need toning, anyways, and you can run with sore arms, no problem. It's just kickboxing - how hard on the lower body can it be?If the jello-like state of my butt this morning is any indication? Kickboxing can be very, very tough on the lower body, and should not be entered into lightly. Just a little hint from me to you.

Ouch - doing something you're not used to can definitely take its toll! Thanks for the warning and hope you were able to run after all.

I can see how kickboxing could be useful.
If someone hassles you on the running path, you can kick their ass.
