Muay Thai

It's 10:14 pm.  I got back from my 2nd day of muay thai kickboxing class a little earlier.  It was one awesome workout.  It was a sparring day, so we put on the gloves and shin pads and went at it.  Of course we didn't go with 100% contact, but boy it was something else.  I was hit in the head a few times, but they were just taps.  I can imagine really getting hit hard.  By the end of class, I was exhausted, but ecstatic.  I like how physically demanding it is because it's a good stress reliever.

Speaking of stress relievers, I was able to go fishing last night and this morning while I did my watch at Girls Camp at Sirena Beach on Base .  I hooked a good-sized snapper last night, but since I didn't feel like cleaning it up and I didn't have a place to keep it chilled, I showed it to the girls and then let it go.  It reminded me of those fishing channels that show the pro fishermen catching big fish and then letting them go.  I always thought, "Why are you letting it go?!"  This morning I caught a couple of nice ones, and I fried them up as soon as I got home.  Too many bones, though.

Well, I look forward to an aching body tomorrow, but it's a Wednesday, so it's also a workout day. I have to remind myself that I'm doing this for strong bones! Okay, that's enough motivation for one night.
