Geeze I am sooo tired right now, so many things have been going on… this weekend!

Starting on friday I did my usual thing of going boxing after work and flogging myself like a dead horse.
I did some light streching and loosening moves to start off with and then some skipping and shadow boxing before being asked by my coach to jump in the ring with 2 others.

We were going to be doing some sparring (I was happy with this as no one had a gum shield on wednesday so I couldnt do it then) my only issue was that the 2 other guys were both more experienced and taller than me!

I started off with one guy, both of us just using our jab trying to suss each other out, which he managed to do quicker than me… As I blocked his jab, he counter punched with a straight right which landed a peach on my nose – instantly making my eyes water and nose run… this was not fun!

I carried on trying to find my rythem which eventually I managed to find and boxed pretty well for the remainder of the round, landing a few solid jabs on his chin.

The coach then stopped us to have a word and let us know what he thought and how we could improve. I was shocked when he said he didnt have much to say to me apart from stay on my toe a bit more!

AWESOME

The next guy was a little bit easier to fight, although taller than the last, he didnt have as much confidence and I was already warmed up. We had a good little session both with high work rate and this time I landed a few straight rights as well before I made a huge mistake and got caught.

Earlier that day I had been reading some article about boxing and playing with a poker face – so I thought Id try my luck.

Trying to fein a jab to his face I then went down stairs and jabbed him in his stomach, as I came back up he caught me with a perfect hook to the side of my head..

 SHIT THAT HURT.

I felt all funny after that and had to take a quick breather before continuing – its the last time I try to boxing above my skill level.

We then carried on with the usual pad and bag work, skipping and then finishing with circuit training.

I slowly made my way home and into a nice hot shower before relaxing infront of the TV… unfortunately I had work saturday

I managed to drag myself out of bed and to work which was ok but its saturday and Plymouth Argyle were playing Burnley at home – we won 3-1 – HAVE THAT. 

After work I came home and decided not to eat anything as the lads were going around Pondy’s for a curry and some beers.
Ami had a house warming party to go to, so her and the girls from work spent the day clothes shopping before heading home. When I arrived home the lady in my life was getting ready and begging me for a lift to Union Rooms (Whetherspoons) as all the girls were meeting their first before going to the party!

I dropped her in on the way to Pondys.

On the way I had a change of mind about eating Indian as I had been putting the hours in at boxing, I would feel like Im letting myself down.
But in my typical way I then changed my mind again and stopped of for some fish and chips (whoops)

To cut it short we watched a few films and I went home tired and ready for bed.

After getting home and watching Match of the Day and seeing Eduardo’s horrific break I knew it was time for bed.

Thanks Ami – I was rudely awaken as usual as Ami came battering in through the front door at 5am and wanting to keep me up telling me about her night.

I suddenly woke up at 7am on a sunday :O
The thing to make it even stranger I got out of bed and put my running stuff on and went for a run. It was nice and quiet outside (no one would be that crazy to be awake yet) and the air was fresh.
I managed an hour before coming home and showering and getting ready for the day.

Im now at my mums as its Andy (her partners) birthday and washing my dirty clothes

Ready for bed again already – work tomorrow. Lucky me!
