Training today was good - I trained with Mat an older trainer who focused on footwork and really gave me a great going over. Its been three days (though it feels like weeks) since I last trained and it was tough standing around watching others train but not being able to train myself. On my Friday morning run I pulled a bunch of muscles in my back and could hardly walk less run or train. With a crash program of rest, ice and anti -inflamatories I got back in to it today. It just pointed out to me how addictive the training here gets and how much I'll miss it when I leave here later this week.

On Sunday Garret, Justin and I went on a trip to Phi Phi island. All I can say is that it was amazing. Touristy....yes, crowded......yes but the natural beauty of the place was just so stunning that these detractors just don't matter. Words, or photos, for that matter, don't do it justice. After spending the day there our only regret was not staying for a few days! If you are in this part of the world GO TO KOH PHI PHI!

There is also other good news for today.....the Spanish left yesterday so its back to a cozy little group left training!
