New Years on Phi Phi Island

:::written yesterday but couldn’t upload because internet wasn’t working:::

New Years on Phi Phi Island was great. It’s a small tropical island, with tiny little walkways jam packed with young people from all over the world.

Today's Menu: "MMA" + JJ + Muay Thai

Today was my second day of training, and it felt awesome.

First off, my elbow is actually feeling better today than it did yesterday! And my toe seemed pretty much, if not all the way healed. I have still been taping it, but I have been doing kicks, taking classes, and having to jog in classes no problem. YES!!!!! THANK YOU!!!

I woke up and decided to take a fasted “exploratory” walk. I didn’t get too see much, though, because there is ...

After too little sleep (went to bed late because I went with peeps to the night market, then in the morning I woke up at 4:30 AM because my Australian friend was frikking drunk and stumbled into my room to chat because I accidently left the door unlocked! There went my sleep. I “tried” to sleep but no sleep was happening. At 6 AM, I got out of ...
