I have checked it out on occasion, but it's been a while. I'll take another look. Thanks for the link.

Haven't updated in a while.

Wednesday did my triathlon training in the am.
35 minutes on the Expresso bike. Those things are awesome! It makes you work so hard. (if you are competitive, that is) Here's a link, check it out.
Expresso Fitness
After the bike we ran a mile on incline.

Wednesday evening just did some mitts with my coach for about 45 minutes then did another 20 minute session on the Expresso bike.


Thursday evening boxing training:
Warm up skipping and some running and then 1 hour 30 minutes of mitts and bag work. 3 minute rounds.

Friday am triathlon training.
We ran for 35 minutes and did incline drills.
1 minute at 0% then up to 1% then back to 0%, next minute up to 2% for a minute, back to 0%....etc....up to 15% incline. Then did some functional stuff, lunges etc and stretching.

This afternoon I'll probably do some mitts with my coach and then I have my fight tomorrow evening.

I'm still fighting this cold, which sucks. But I'm just going to suck it up. Fights are to few and far between to back out over a lingering cold.

good luck!

[sourpuss]

Thanks YB. Well, we drove 4 and a half hours one way and she didn't show up.

**sigh** I don't even know what to say.

[RDJ]

What a classless piece of shit, pardon my French.

Sorry to hear, Amy.

[sourpuss]

I just had breakfast with a friend of mine who used to be in my boxing club. She quit just after Christmas this year when her husband lost his job. She told me that when she quit she had a conversation with my coach and he said: "Yeah, we have a bunch of new people in the club and I'm going to run Amy off, she's got a lot going on and she doesn't need to be boxing anymore."

WTF?! Asshole, who's he to decide what I should and shouldn't be doing with my time and my life.

I'm 99% sure that he knew my opponent was not going to be there this last weekend and I lost out on a project from work that I could have made about $300 on. So I don't even know what to think at this point, but I'm not going back to the gym this week, that I know.

Wow. guy sounds like an arsehole. I'd want to go back for sure also...and confront him with it.

And that would be a pretty shitty thing to do, bring you to a fight knowing it wasn't going down. I've had it happen locally, from my old club after I left it. I thought it was pretty childish, but yea...it didn't cost me a pile of money, although it did the many who came to watch me, family freinds etc. This sounds deliberate and spiteful, if true.

Sorry again to hear all this. Not something you needed.

How's life Amy? Should we send in a stripper in a cake to cheer you up?

[sourpuss]

Put a hot Scandinavian with tattoos inside and I'll be plenty cheerful.

[RDJ]

Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When are you returning, you can't just leave us like this??!

Ps. I'm not Scandinavian but Frisian is pretty close. No tattoos either but I look very pretty inside a cake

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.
