New Goal...Part Two.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Last night I couldn't train, had a funeral to go to. I hadn't anticipate doing any roadwork this week as I have a fight Sunday, but I did a four miler at home, nice and easy boxing jog. At the gym later.

Annoyed t the minute. I might have a fight on Sunday that I don't really want.
I want to sort out my training arrangements and enlist some help.

My mate thats the best to train with is headed away for the summer, lucky fella is going to Undisputed for six weeks, Iowa mma for 6 weeks and Gleasons in New York for 3 weeks

I got college work piling up too...grr.

-1 x 2min round; heavy bag combinations and speed.

Shadowboxing;

Anaerobic;
-3 x 100m Sprints with a partner.
Won 2 lost one (becasue he got ahead and wouldn't let me pass.)
-Calf raises.

Defense work;
-4 x 2 minute rounds; Weaving under rope throwing combinations each side, moving forward & back.

Sparring;
-3 x 2 min rounds; with the same southpaw, I boxed in reverse as I usually do with Southpaws, found that inefffective so moved forward. Lande a fair few grazing blows. Movement and defense sharpening. Pretty reserved spar, but happy nonetheless.
Afterwards felt like vomiting, but because of health rather than exertion.

Bagwork;
-1 x 3 minute round on the heavybag. Hard punching, flurries.

Stretching and Cooldown.

Training went well last night.

Did it at a really high pace and was pumping air after a while.

During the spar session I was sparring Jim, who's got three inches on me, orthodox, power but poor technique.
I started to tire, was getting clipped....needed a break
I jabbed twice, turned and jab straight uppercut to the body....down goes Jimmy and I get a nice two minute break.
Kept the activity high.
Sparred the novice. He actually stopped hitting my guard. He said "aren't you hurt" looking to grab a break, I shook my head and smiled, I plowed into him with my guard up, backing him up. Threw only three shots and he tumbled each time.
Pat of course was a different story. We traded counters, he landed some picture perfect shots to the chin, I set up by crossing to his body, but failed to hook to his head. We made it a messt spar, but I was delighted with it.

Afterward myself and pat went on the mats, practisingf takedowns, sprawling and defence. 5 minutes of defending from him had me well tired and perspiring, but it was brilliant fun!

This morning I'm sore from sprints and mat work, my thighs are stiff and sore, so I regard last night as an excellent success.

Last night I couldn't train, had a funeral to go to. I hadn't anticipate doing any roadwork this week as I have a fight Sunday, but I did a four miler at home, nice and easy boxing jog. At the gym later.

When it gets dark just after 5 o Clock I refer to it as night.

Funerals always occur on the evenings here
Five or six O' Clock the family gathered for the wake, people p[aying their respects filed through, this takes about 3 hours or so, the rosary is said, the remains are then removed to the church where there's a short memorial mass of a half hour or so.

The family and close friends then go back to the house, supposedly to pray, but more oftten now to drink.

The burial mass and burial occur the morning after, usually after 111 or 12 o clock.
