sourpuss's training log

[sourpuss]

Hi I'm here.

I don't know what my problem is. I can't find the desire to train hard anymore. I went to another club on Wednesday to spar and got my ass kicked by a bunch of kids. Granted, I'm pretty sure I have the flu. But it didn't help my confidence at all. We'll go again next Wednesday, hopefully it will be better.

I kind of feel like I've already peaked in my abilities and I'm on a downward slope. I know for a fact that I'm no where near as good as I was this time last year.

I have two bouts in Canada on the 21st and 22nd. Both are against gals that are very experienced. I think that will kind of be the test to see if I should really be doing this anymore.

**Where's my cake?

lol meh quit talkin like yer 50, and just go kick some ass ...

And next time you come to Canada, try a little closer then 8 billion miles away. If ya came here, after ya saw our gym (6000+ sq feet all hardwood floors) and met some of my coaches ya prolly want to stay and live in our woodshed out back...forget RDJ.

I'd already live in the woodshed for your one coach.

My coach and I are going to the other club for sparring again on Wednesday. Hopefully I'll do better this time. Although, I don't think I could do worse. I'm getting over whatever bug I had so this Wednesday will be a better indication of what I need to work on.

I also have a 10k I'm running this Saturday, which I have not trained for at all. I'm just going to do it for the workout now rather than trying for a good time. It's cold here and we've gotten over a foot of snow the last couple of days so it's not like the course is going to be one that I could work on my speed anyway.

The sparring went really well. I'm shooting for going up there 2 more times before my fights on the 21 & 22. But I'll probably only make it once.

Tomorrow I'm running my first 10K. I'm not sure what to expect. It's mostly down hill which will be nice. But it is also going to be pretty snowy/icy/slushy depending on the weather. My only goal is to A: not walk, which I don't think will happen. and B: be done in under an hour.

for some reason i thought u were going this weekend. not sure why.

[sourpuss]

Yeah, I thought maybe you had the wrong date. One more week.

10K tomorrow morning. It's midnight, I suppose I should sleep.
My friend says he's aiming to do it in under 35 minutes! He better have a beer waiting for me then.

Ugh! Triathlon training this morning was brutal. 30 minute bike and 30 minute run. (on 5 hours of sleep and a brutal plyometrics workout in boxing last night)

This afternoon we're going over to the other club to spar. It will be my last sparring before my fight on Saturday so I hope I'm sharp.

Here's a video of my last bout if anyone is interested.
