Getting back to what I love, or so has been my plan lately.
So what do I love, that's easy. I love working out hard -- boxing, weight training and running.
This past week I've picked up some extra work, a lot of extra work actually -- three more personal training clients, a set private group boxercise class and 7 additional hours at a random parttime gig. I was asked if I'd take on a private boxercise class for one -- for a male. He knows my boxercise classes are girls-only so he's willing to make it up to me in pay for hosting a weekly private class for him but I just don't have the time or energy right now.
Besides my set private group boxercise class, I'm not hosting any weekday morning boxercise classes this week and I'm not too sure if I will be next week either. I love training with those who come out but, in all honesty, me showing up for an hour to hour and a half training with one student is really tapping into my own personal training. And with only a few weeks left till my half marathon, I really would like to up my running but I just don't have the extra time and energy based on my current schedule. I'd like to think I'm a cuter version of a crazy chicken running around with its head cut off but none the less, I do feel like I'm just like this chicken.
With all my personal training clients, boxercise classes and parttime gigs, I now officially work seven days a week starting today, with Wednesday being my longest workday -- 11hrs of work in three different cities, Cheonan, Seoul and Suwon.
Trying to finalize and register everyone for A Day At the Races (5km, 10km and half marathon race event I'm bring a group of 26 to) is driving me a bit bonkers. Only today did I find out that I had to include everyone's alien registration number, a fact I wish the organizer had mentioned to me when I talked to him the other day. So ya, I ended up having to deal with that which is one thing but the fact that some people make it so impossible for me to get a hold of them is frustrating. Feeling a bit stalkerish because it, me having to hunt down people's phone numbers through random people. Not fun. Those who responded to my message today, asking for their ARC number, were awesome though. They definitely melted my soon-to-be frozen frustrated heart so mad props to them.
Pyen Chi ate a corner of my Adidas shoes today, which isn't so randomly off topic here to mention. A bored Pyen Chi is a bad Pyen Chi. I looked at her today when I came home and envied her for having such excessive time to be able to be bored.
Maybe I'll have to schedule in some time this week, just to let myself be bored.
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.
