Limitations.

Another boxing session today, though I've had a lot since my last post. I try and box about 2 times a week at minimum, but had minor bouts of inconsistency. I have news on the skill bouts, I am officially too old for them, therefore I will be training up for my real bouts.

A conversation about this topic put something into perspective for me, I was going to have to train a lot harder if I wanted a real bout. So in that session I did so for the second half.

That second half made me realise that I had not been training to my limit for a while, only to a mental limit and fatigue, but with the knowledge that I needed to do more, my body did more, despite what I expected of it, and by the end, I realised that I could do more, but the session was over. From this moment on I will push my body to its absolute limit [hopefully without injuring myself] to reach the boundaries needed to not just have my first bout, but to win it unanimously.

I had a nice conversation after the session with my friend about Hajime No Ippo though, and the current manga run.

I wanted to name this entry Black and Blue is True but that made no sense to the context of this blog, so I'm saving that for another time.
