Last week I started going to back to Joe Byrd's Boxing Academy. It's been 5 years since I've passed through it's doors, and it's exhilarating to be back again.

During my hiatus from boxing a lot has happened, I traveled, went to school, got married, started on a career as a house painter, but after all the gym beckoned me. The gym would often sneak into my dreams, and I longed to be back in the ring, and deep in the heavy sweat atmosphere of Joe Byrd's.

My wife noticed how animated and excited I would get whenever I'd talk about boxing. She encouraged me to do what I enjoy doing most, and to go back to the gym. So here I am.

This thread will be more of a news feed than a log, about the recent happenings and highlights in Joe Byrd's Boxing Academy.
