Not Bad

I had my first experience with Muay Thai (Thai boxing) last night. I signed up for a class with some friends and was surprised that I didn’t do as bad as I thought I would. The class wasn’t as bad as I had feared and I’m not as sore as I had expected to be. I think it helps that I went with a group of friends and we were all basically in the same beginner boat. Last night’s first class focused on a ton of cardio, muscle toning and introductory fighting stance formation stuff as opposed to actual combat…but I can feel myself starting to get a little drunk on power and wanting to throw down and fight. Haha. Now I don’t know if this is something that I’m going to continue…but let me tell you, I can feel the potential of my core muscles getting super toned…and I’m definitely liking that.

On a separate note and speaking of not bad, man, those Sharks are killing it, don’t you think? They've got 2 games over the Wings and have been playin' like they own it. Thornton finally earned his keep and scored his first goal in this years playoffs (it's about goddamn time, big man). And, of course, Setoguchi and Pavelski have been on fire lately (very nice work, boys). C'mon Sharks, only two more games and you're into the conference finals. Looking forward to Game 3 tonight.

Little Joe, if you're reading this...call me. ;-)
