I punch like a girl.

My friend, Anne Marie has been raving about her thai boxing class, so I thought I would join her yesterday afternoon. The warm up part was intense, but great. Then came the boxing part. In my mind I thought it was going to be something along the lines of Tai Bo. I was wrong. Basically it was actual boxing training. I was told to practice punches in the air, which honestly made me look more like a girl than I am. Anyways while I am air punching back and forth in the air, Anne Marie is punching a punching bag, looking very fierce with her new boxing gloves, and in the corner are two women complete in boxing gear punching and kicking the crap out of each other. Apparently they are actually training to compete in boxing championships... I was like "Huh?" "Why? That is CRAZY"

What I realized is that I am not a fighter- I enjoy sport and exercise, but have no interest in competition boxing and would probably run if someone started throwing punches at me in a ring. So I think I will hang up my imaginary gloves and go back to my 80's step aerobics.
