Boxing Training, Entry 2

Well, I trained pretty hard this morning. my knee was still very sore, so I consulted my coach. it told me it was most likely that I strained my MCL, and that while the KT taping method I used was helping a little, the reason it wasn't working as good as it should is cause I was more focused on the knee more than the MCL. So coach showed me a new method that has actually worked pretty well (I can actually walk up and down stairs now)! Kinesiology is a great thing, and has helped keep this body running for awhile, and Coach Jeff has taught me all I know about how to use it. After that I asked if icing it for the resto f the day would be a good idea. He said it was probably a good idea so it can get better, so I didn't go back to train tonight like I normally do.

We did an hours worth a sparring. Coach Jeff even stepped in to throw some punches with me a couple times. He often reminds me why he is the coach when he does that. And training with my sparring partner Matt was fun to, really had to get to moving more than normal, which I managed, even with my knee bothering me like it was, but man it takes a lot of energy sometimes.

Boxing Training, Entry 1

Okay, like I said I would, J-Foo here to update you on my boxing training!

Today wasn't too intensive. We worked a lot on defense, but I felt my defense was fairly well today. I worked with a guy who was pretty green, so it wasn't too difficult for me to work on defenses I don't normally get to do in an intense sparring situation. so over all, it was a good training day, though a bit slower than normal!

One thing I personally need to work on is conditioning and eating properly. those are easily the hardest things a bout boxing for me. and I LOVE food, so that makes it even harder.

"Oh, so you want to order pizza online? We're going to need to see your ID"

So... This just happened... After a long day of working and nerding out... I order a P'zone from Pizza hut... when the pizza guy gets there, he hands me the receipt which I sign, and hand it back, and he's like "um, I'm going to need to see the debit card and a picture". I understnadbly looked at him funny, since this has never happened before. I mean, I know I look young for my age... But damn guys, I look, and am old enough to buy pizza! So I asked him why. I suppose Pizza Hut has JUST now realized that people can buy pizza with someone else information, with no ACTUAL proof that they're the person buying the pizza... Well GEEZ guys, you're like 10 years to late on the uptake! Welcome to the world!

To a degree, yes, I get that that is a problem that people will steal from others via pizza, I get it! but now if I wanna send pizza to a friend or to my girlfriends house without actually being there, they will be REFUSED the pizza... ugh... this world...
