sourpuss's training log

My coach is working out some potential sparring for me with another club. I'm conflicted about it. There are 3 possibilities. Two boys (105 lbs) and one gilr (145 lbs). All three are pretty inexperienced. The boys will be fast, so that's good practice for me as all my opponents are fast. The girl is one of those toughman club "boxers" and he coach said she hasn't a clue what boxing really is. I was thinking it would be good practice against someone who is wild and unpredictible. I suppose that any sparring that is not my old, slow and injured coach that I've been sparring for the last three years would be good.

I guess the only way to know what they'll be like to spar is to go and see! Tricky really! One day we'll have to go somewhere there are lots of midgets for a sparring tour!

Congrats on the run! That's and awesome time!

Thanks Sharla.

We've got a bunch of newbies at the gym in the last couple of months. If they stick around I'll have some potential sparring. As it is right now the sparring is a bit...eh. Just me jabbing and moving around, trying not to run anyone off. Hopefully they'll be up to speed in another month or two.

Tomorrow we're heading over to the other gym....should be interesting. I have a feeling this gal is going to go all out and try to knock me out. I saw her at a restaurant last week and she's one of those real loud mouth, center of attention, thinks she's tough girls, so.....yeah. She's going to come out swinging and trying to show everyone how hot snot she is. Her coach told us that we'll basically be wasting our time but he'd appreciate if we came out and showed his boxers what hard work and dedication will do for you. Hmmm....

I'll report back on Saturday. lol

Where is everyone?! It's been dead around here.

Well, sparring with the other gym was a waste of time. Other than entertainment value.

I'm a bit worried going in to this next tournament. I've only been able to spar with my coach (who is injured) and he has a style that makes me fight the exact opposite of how I really need to fight. He's nothing like the type of opponents I face. And the rest of the work I get is with newbies who are much bigger and slower than me so I spend a lot of time just moving and jabbing.

Oh well.

I've been lurking around. A lot on my plate plus not feeling puter social, so only been stopping in here and there and playing a few arcade games, but also have been reading.

Good luck to you in your tour, and thanks for your words on my training log. (I actually like high school a lot, just ran into a few probs when i first got there...mostly sorted now)

We were all set to leave for PALs tomorrow morning and my coach got a call that his father in-law is dying and now the trip is off. I'm gutted. I really believed this was my last chance to win a major tournament. I swear I have the worst luck when it comes to boxing. You really can't make this shit up, the luck I have with these things. I'm beginning to wonder what I did in a past life to have such shit luck.

Competitive running is looking better all the time.
