Boxing Club

Some time ago we were asked to attend ClubFest at the Memorial Union, I went there expecting maybe to join a few clubs, nothing to crazy. As I was walking around I found one in particular that caught my eye. Just the thought of seeing it made me want to sign up right there without thinking about how it would test me.
I decided to join the boxing club because I did a little in High School a while back. I found out that the practices were Monday thru Thursday from 4 to 5 every night. The first day of practice was quite a suprise for me. We ran up and down four stories of stairs about five times going down then back up again. After that we went on a long jog where we would sprint every other length of a building. I realized then this was going to be a very demanding club which basically consisted of conditioning for almost an hour.
On the second day of practice, about a third of the people didn't show up that were there the first day. I knew I wasn't going to quit cuz whenever I start something I don't give up. Even after the second day my body was very sore but I loved doing it for some reason. Just the fact that I was actually doing something that I liked to do after classes and homework all day made me feel pretty good, especially when I hit the bag every practice and even after practice for quite a while.
This club was more of a personal intrest for me because its just something that I liked to do, Im actually in shape and having fun at the same time. Pretty soon we get to start sparring in the ring with other more expeirienced club members to develop our skills. In the future I hope to compete against other colleges around the country after I have become a better boxer, and maybe ill have a chance to compete at the national championship in the next couple of years. I'm glad that I joined this club because it is not only going to keep me in shape but it will hopefully make me a harder worker.
