Burning The Candle On Both Ends

My fight is less than a month away....part of me doesn't want to believe it...it hasn't sunk in yet. I'm so used to getting injured pre-fight I don't want my heart to break again.

I've been burning the candle on both ends lately...preparing for my hula recital this Saturday, April 17th has been challening trying to train for my fight as well. My mind wanders off to personal matters at moments, but I have to remind myself to focus and get it together. I hope I'm ready by the time my fight comes around. I hope I leave it all on the matt, not hold back, and apply what I've learned.

Last night I sparred with my Che'lu. He kept apologizing everytime he would hit me hard. I just reassure to keep going and I'm fine. I feel like I've progressed as far as sparring. I have a better control of my emotions and I believe that should be one of the very parts that build your foundation. It was a good sparring session I believe. I pushed my body to go through beatings but still tried to focus. I need to improve, I always need to improve, but I feel reassured. I have a good team that supports me. Fighting has been the only thing that has ever fought its way to stay in my life...total love affair.
