CSX: You said it... fear of not trying something & not doing it when it is too late. That is the question... is it too late... or can I pull this off still. I really don't know... but I want to find out ... even if I get beaten to a pulp. I guess the worst thing is that I could get in really good shape.
Juice: I knew that if I made this post, someone on here would have some experience & relate. I was a little shy to do it b/c I have never done it & am kinda old for just getting started. I need to loose about 35 more pounds to be really good shape. I am loosing more inches than weight right now. Coach says he needs me to be consistent & I will be sparring in a ring that is 2ft shorter & 2ft less wide so I don't get lazy... light sparring right now. Cardio is killer. Man it is absolutely killer. I run on off days... but not enough yet (only a 1.5 mi). I can do it w/o stopping. Upper cuts & hooks seem weird... totally goofy & unnatural to me right now. Working slower w/ flat gloves to get form down. Pretty good @ keeping chin down, breath through nose, keeping groves up @ chin... even my feet get cramps in the stance for long time. Not too good at double end bag yet either. Don't feel like you are hijacking... I brought it up for a reason & want feedback for sure.
