Today is it, once again. Made it through 19 sessions so far with the last to go in about an hour. Breakfast at 6:05 and I have the place to myself. I’ll be a little later to the gym because I need a few minutes to stretch. Not as sore as expected, but still feeling it a bit. Nice sunrise to greet the last trip. Forgot to mention, but yesterday I got to enjoy doing 20 kicks on each leg in one of the rounds. Woohoo!! it was a bit of a quiet morning at the gym. Today is Fahlaep’s birthday so I have him a piece of chocolate cake, and then hit the running route while he worked a couple of the other guys on the pads. I intentionally took it a bit slower, not ... read more

Two and a half days, 5 training sessions to go. Had to remember that when I woke up this morning because I was sore everywhere. Knee is a little sore, and a cramp in left thigh, probably from sparring yesterday. Really wanted to sleep more, but got up and stretched a little and started to feel better. A quick breakfast and more stretching and I should be good to go. My shoes are still wet from yesterday. The wet shoes from the rain yesterday aren’t too different from after the run/jumprope combinations each day. Running was again 10 laps, and I think I’m going to stay with that. Seems a good amount of time for me to run, about 35 or 40 minutes. Haven’t really watched the clock on that too much. We’re back to the ... read more

Slept very well last night. Seems I was tired from my day off…. Woke up to the alarm and wished I had more time to sleep. Needed a little stretch before breakfast, and made it a quick stop for some fruit and coffee. I’m surprised I’ve held up so well with all the running. I hadn’t been doing much at home because of the heat/humidity, but now it’s twice a day, no problem. Walked out the door this morning and found it was sprinkling and it lasted the entire train ride. It stopped as I got off the train platform, so it was off to 10 laps of running. Quiet morning at the gym today, and I ran by myself. It actually felt really good after the muscles loosened up during the first lap. A couple ... read more

I just couldn’t bring myself to walking to some of the restraints because they were farther than I had the energy for. It rained again during the night, but I only saw lightning flashes form the comfort of the bed. I was sooooo exhausted. I think I was asleep by 9:00 and didn’t wake up until 3 minutes before the alarm at 5:30. Not as sore as I was expecting to be this morning. It did seem to take awhile to gather up everything and hit breakfast. There’s definitely a difference in the activity on Saturday morning. Not nearly as many street vendors, or motorbikes and taxis flying all over the place. The interesting thing this morning was at the bottom of the steps of the BTS station, I was yelled at by a homeless woman ... read more

The afternoon is looking bleak right now. I was caught out in a monster rainstorm when I went to the local market. Unfortunately the one that was in the hotel are is turned into a 7-11 so it’s a bit of a walk. Stood outside and watched the rain. The motorbikes and food delivery guys just kept on going. They were splashing through the puddles that were really deep. After about 30 minutes, it slowed enough to escape back to the hotel without getting too wet. Its getting brighter so it looks like I’ll head out to train. If it’s a thunderstorm drenching downpour, I’ll have to skip the trip. There is alot of walking uncovered that will just make the travel back and forth miserable. Of course the rain really starts pouring once I’m at ... read more
