A Night of Fights at My Gym

[Youngblood]

Thanks Andre. Yea Im still working through the process of mental talk, allowing myself to not do anything training related in the name of healing. It isnt that easy but so far so good. I go again for another treatment tomorrow and the MRI. Feel I'm making progress.

So tonight I stayed home fighting the urge to go to the gym. Woot go me! Fought off the urge. My coach calls me 10 mins ago and tells me there is a CTV (Canadian Television News) crew waiting for me to get there. haha. They are doing a short documentary thingy on me and amateur boxing in Canada and were surprise visiting with cameras filming. I knew they were coming just not when and told them a while ago i'm there on such and such days and times without fail. lol o well...doing it starting Friday I guess.

So had the tv thingy tonight. A 2 hr long them filming and interviewing and threw my back out right in the middle. haha My coach not wanting to let on I was hurt bringing me to a back room to stretch it out all hush hush like to complete the interview...as it hurt so bad I almost puked.

Was told to go easy by my therapist for this but am coming to realize I don't really have that gear. Never have. Only have go hard.

ah well Fuck it. I was due for a party anyway, so hello vodka, goodbye pain.

my back is feeling a lot better. I missed my appointment today with my doc cuz simply forgot about it as was hungover on the vodka christmas partying thingymajigga. d'oh. That stuff is pretty good with cranberry juice actually. Hardly taste it. But yea, feeling better so all this rest might be paying off. Not used to doing nothing...

A friend of mine who works for the CTV (Canadian Television Network) wants to do a documentary thing on canadian amateur boxing and use me the center piece for both local and national coverage. They did one tv brief spot already. I've shared it with a few of you on facebook. Here it is on youtube. It was kinda embarassing actually, the attention I got on facebook and thru our club. Not sure I liked it a lot.

I've been putting it off, the documentary thing, because my back injury might be more serious then just strained muscles that I hoped. And that sux. But w/e...will do what I have to, and one way or another I will be fighting for our National Championship, if even am only at 60-70%. I've been fighting hurt for nearly 2 years now, so one more fight I don't see a problem with. Just kinda sux wont have the fights in for prep like I woulda hoped. hopefully can get well enough to hard spar leading up. If i can get well enough and have a good championship, then I'll prob do the docu thing.
