OMG Travel and Work

It's hard to believe but I haven't gone to jiujitsu class since my fight.  I was out of town for a few days during the week after my fight.  I have been traveling way too much for work lately.  I suppose my trip to Vegas recently was not for work and I did stay in Albuquerque for fun over the weekend, after a conference.  But that's beside the point.  Work is taking away all my training time.

I knew what I was getting myself into when I took a job at a big law firm though.  I suppose they pay me a good amount to be at their beck and call for these first couple of years.  I have been training long enough to know that I am not going to stop training, which I think is what most people worry about when they don't get to train for a while. 

I got to roll for a few rounds tonight.  It was fun.  I find it hard to believe that just 3 weeks ago I was in fight shape.  Anyway, I didn't make it up to the studio until close to the end of class.  I got to drill two techniques and then I rolled 3 - 3 min. rounds.  The first guy I rolled with had a little bit of a smell, I really wish the guys would pay a little more attention to hygiene, although I'm sure they don't care as much about rolling with someone who smells all sweaty.  There wasn't anything particularly memorable about any of my rolls tonight :-T.  Anyway, I plan to go up to the studio and do some training with Shawn and his guys.  I am really looking forward to it.

I hope that I can get in some kind of groove now that I am done traveling for a while.  I just had a couple of conferences to attend.  I'm kind of racking up the frequent flyer miles, maybe I'll get upgraded next time. :-) haha not likely.  I can hope though.
