This mornings training -
6km jog
1 round shadow boxing
1 round fast punching
2 rounds heavy bag
3 rounds thai pads
3 rounds heavy bag
1 set pull ups (max)
1 set push ups (max)
1 set sit ups (max)

Pushed out a few extra pull ups and push ups this morning, something must be working. Working up to getting fighting fit (literally). Funny this morning though, the padholder couldn't be bothered holding pads and I couldn't be bothered hitting them.

This afternoons training -
2km jog
3 rounds boxing sparring (I hate boxing)
1 round uppercut block
2 rounds thai pads
3 rounds heavy bag
2 rounds teep kick block
1 set pull ups (max)
1 set push ups (max)
1 set sit ups (max)

Sparring wasn't bad, only got hit a couple of times. One thing I need to work on is my footwork. At the moment I'm just leaning back to avoid punches instead of moving my feet. Put a couple of combinations I learned the last 2 weeks to good use. Still a long way to go..

Right now I hate Thailand. I'm bored of people pushing in front of me in the 7-11. I'm feeling homesick so I went and ordered a pork steak and it wasn't cooked properly (at all?) and I had to wait 30 minutes for the waitress to take my order when there were only 2 other people in there. I'm sick of dodging crazy motorcycle riders with a death wish and agressive dogs. I'm bored of the compressing heat every time I walk outside. Outside of the gym, no-one here seems normal. I asked the trainer at the gym if I can fight and he said one more month, even after I've been working and training so hard. God I want to go home.

  2. I read your blog every day while sitting at work. Don't take this trip for granted! Train hard for those of us who can't at the moment. Good luck, I hope things start looking up.
