If it's good enough for Evander Holyfield then it's good enough for me. While I suffered a few blows to the head and the ego last week he had to endure Tyson biting part of his ear off and still he boxes on. As do I.
I decided to give it one more go and if I still felt like an battered spanner at the end of the week then I'd call it quits. Only Monday today but it all went quite well and I feel heartened that I took my own advice and persevered.
On a less bright note I have to report that while I wasn't called upon to spar I did have to put a head guard on for the first time and watched my fellow boxers get into the ring and hit one another. Maybe not too much of a surprise in a boxing class but a new one on me and it was only the pity of my coach which spared me from the horror which will inevitably meet me once I am chosen from the throng and thrown into the arena. I see the possibility of tears, puddles of urine splashing on the floor of the ring and me with my eyes closed, my arms swinging wildly and coach trying to talk me down.
