Hello all,
Well training is all going well, feeling very fit at the moment. Last Sunday I went up to Toowoomba and did 8 rounds with mick Shaw, It was a good work out and a pleasant drive for Mark and myself. I did 8 rounds yesterday with young amateur Ashley Huston who I train(he just got a silver medal in the 60kg junior division at the Aussie Titles). Sometimes I think to myself why would anyone put themselves through all this pain and hard work, then I think for a minute and go "oh yea now I know", the answer is to "WIN", and I know I definitely haven't shirked the hard work. Yesterday I also did a run and stairs at Tanah Merah (a suburb in the Logan area), man these things are tough, Kangaroo Point has nothing on these stairs, this is one place in my head I must break the pain barrier. "It's pain".
My time with Huia from WE Coach ( Huia is helping with the mental side of my fight) is going awesome, she gives me such a positive mind and her help in such a big fight is something I recommend for others. I know I have good mental strenth but this just adds to that and is making my mind even stronger.
Another former sponsor of mine Hawley Constructions have climbed back on board to help me out. Long time friend Jeff and the Hawley family were my sponsor back in my third fight against Jay Washington at the Mansfield Tavern, so it is good to have them back on board helping out in the big one. All this support is so overwhelming, something I can't describe how much I appreciate.
This Saturday I have a big sparring session with my good mate Mick Shaw out at my Sponsors gym (Greg Wallace from Executive Fight Club). Greg has organized a big day that I'm really looking forward to, It'll be good to catch up with everyone out there that Greg has got supporting and backing me.
Till next time, I'll be training hard
Take Care
Chris
