Monday and Tuesday - Nothing Monday, Slept Most of day, Throat OK, Boxing

We didn't do anything of note on Monday, if we did I don't recall any of it. I stayed up all night watching Smallville series 4 - Love Lois Lane.
Tuesday, went to bed about 9:00 slept until 4:30. Throat seems to be better still a little sore and occasionally coughing up green mucus but much less than before. This afternoon we attempted to discover where the boxing club is and after a few false starts (we went to the wrong side of Braunstone Park) we eventually located Bendbow Rise and the club is located in this building.

We met a very chatty chap named John, drives for Walkers Crisps, who's daughter boxes at the club; apparently she's a real up and comer and has boxed at county level. In fact she, Paige, took Nat and Hannah under her wing for their first taste of the sport. After they had punched the pads, she held for them, she introduced them to the reality of boxing training and my god did they sweat. Good on them, hard as it was they both stuck it out to the end. There are sessions from 5-7 PM Monday to Thursday. We're planning to go every day that we can over the holidays. In term we'll see what we can manage. The club is certainly cheaper than kick-boxing, 31:00 per session, and the training is intense. Hopefully this will burn off the fat that both Nat and Hannah are carrying; time will tell! The kids that do go there regularly are all as fit as a butchers dog.
