These days my training schedule is pretty much this: I train every day except when I can't.
Last week, I was able to get on the mat for five days in a row. While that would ordinarily be an exceptional pace for me, at the time, it seemed almost matter-of-fact.
This week I feel as if I'm struggling to get to the Academy more than twice.
Teaching and training about 50/50 right now. It's a great pattern for rehabbing my rib (does "rehabbing" have two Bs? Apparently so.) and for reinforcing the Marcelo Doctrine I've been discussing with Prof Abel over the past few weeks. I'm only on the first few parts of the Code right now: focusing on movement, not conceding position, "a few good moves" ... But I'm already feeling some pretty good dividends. With a little luck, I could have a very productive spring and summer on the mat.
Still a little heavy, despite getting a little cardio in this morning. 165 or so in the gi, post-train. My goal is still to be a featherweight with a lightweight's strength. Keeping at those levels, though, remains a challenge.
