Training and Sleeping

We finally have a car. The beat-up Suzuki has ensured that our lives no longer revolv solely around our muay thai sessions, (twice per day from 7am-9am and then again from 4pm-6pm)eating and sleeping.

We've taken a few adventures, the first being back to Patong to check it our during the day. Saturday night we headed there to meet up with Siobhan and see how crazy this place really was. Interesting night for certain.

We've since been able to not only shop and find new culinary delights (Thailand has so many) but also to see a few of the sights, including the Big Buddah of Phuket, which we saw yesterday.

So far life is going pretty well on Phuket despite being constantly sore. Our Muay Thai gym, Rawai (www.rawaimuaythai.com) is a pretty welcoming place. The Thai trainers are tough, but pretty nice guys. People from all over the world come in order to get fit, learn more and fight. Fight nights are every Friday, and sometimes other days as well. Tom and I have decided that we'll be checking out our first fight on the third of March when two guys from Ireland step into the ring. I am sure we'll be back to check out a few more while in Thailand, and South East Asia.

Following the completion of our month of boxing we're planning on doing a week at the detox facility down the road. Sure that relaxing experience will be well deserved after four weeks of brutal trainning.
