Good things come to those who wait… is that
what they say?
Nah, good things come to those who train,
or at least that’s what I say. A good
heart-pumping run or a good grueling session at boxing always seem to do the
trick for me so that’s exactly what I scheduled in for today.
I know, no matter how blah of a day I’m
having, all I have to do is just get myself into the boxing club and things
will be much better. After yesterday’s silly pity party-throwing and mopping
around the house, I woke up realizing just how much of a waste that was – waste
of a day, waste of my energy, waste of my time.
Today would have been Snickers’ day off and we would have spent it
together but with him not here and me all alone, I decided to get my act
together and make a day out of really using this day productively. Today I focused on my training – revising my
weight training routine, looking up some YouTube boxing videos, checking out
new combo exercises online and downloading songs for my boxercise classes.
Got in a wicked afternoon run in the
blazing sun… wow.
Getting into the boxing club was my main
aim for today though. Stepping foot into
the boxing club never fails to lift my spirit and wash my blues away. Whether it’s training alongside my awesome,
awesome teammates, doing grueling pad work in the ring with my coach, or simply
helping out some of the younger amateur boxers, the boxing club works wonders
on me – mind, body and soul. Even the
Cheonan Bulldog, who just this past week broke up with his long time girlfriend
was all bright eyed and cheery today at training.
I swear there’s some kind of fairy dust in
the air, working it’s magic.
Just this past week someone else at the
boxing club broke up with their long term girlfriend – Junior Mint. They made for such a cool couple too -- he
the boxing club coach and she the yoga instructor. He seems to be taking it very well, mind you
I don’t think he likes slipping in the ring, literally, while he waits till he
can move into his new house this weekend.
The other week I picked up a new personal
training client and this past week he’s started training at my boxing
club. Ran into him tonight at
training. He’s quickly picking up the
Korean language and it’s been funny watching my teammates adjust to him. He’s a big brute of a guy but he looks like
such a gentle giant among my teammates who are all too curious to find out what
he’s about. It’s nice to have a new face
at the boxing club but I sure love my usual crowd. There’s definitely a sense of “family-ship”
at the boxing club.
