Honestly, my timing is not great. My schedule both at work and in life are pretty full, which is good in the long run but not necessarily when it comes to boxing. I rarely can do anything in the spur of the moment, but oh well. Could be worse.

My last match was in November. It had been a long time since the match before that and I was very happy that it worked out this time. A friend of mine, who I had boxed with before, was going to be nearby for work and wanted to get together to go a few rounds. Great! We met up at his hotel and spent the first bit setting up the "ring". For those of you that have boxed in hotel rooms, you know that there is not always convenient room for boxing. We had to take the bed apart and move the mattresses and such to create our space. It was easier to do than I thought.

After our ring was set up, we got our gear on....trunks, boots, gloves. We opted out of using headgear since we weren't going full out, but did use mouth guards. We spent time discussing how powerful our punches should be and decided to do 8 rounds. I wasn't sure I would last that long since it had been awhile, but I was game to try.

Like I said, I was rusty, but I did ok. My main goal was to show up, which I achieved. My 2nd goal was to make it at least 6 rounds and I managed to make it all 8, which made me very happy. I took a lot of punches but did land a few good ones. I was able to not stay in my head the whole time and overthink, which I have a tendency to do.

It was hot in the room, on purpose, and we worked up an amazing sweat. While our bout was not about sex, it was very erotic at times...just being clinched up, chest to chest can do that to you haha But we had a great time with each other and I really appreciated getting some more experience in. Hopefully he'll be in the area again soon and we can put the gloves back on.

Each experience is good for me because it makes me grow more each time. My goal for this year is to make myself have more experiences in the ring...literally or figuratively. It will take some planning on my end, but I want it and intend on getting it. We shall see how it goes!

That is all :)
