Dumbest Reasons to Miss Training

***jnp*** · Posted On: 9/11/2012 9:53pm

I didn't train one night 5 weeks ago because I was really tired. I typically don't allow myself this excuse.

Work and family obligations have conspired to keep me off the mat since.

Next time, I don't care if I'm halfway comatose. No more missed opportunities.

I've had that game since 08...I guess I should probably beat it sometime. But those stupid Oblivion Gate missions are.....stupid.

Should've taken him with to training and had the beer and curry afterwards.

I removed my shoes from the car, thinking they were the cause, but the smell got worse. I resorted to leaving the windows open, which did nothing. I resigned myself to the fact that maybe I just stank and it was exacerbated in the car.

Then I noticed, in a tiny corner of the boot*, a shiny black thing I hadn't seen in a while. A rashie that had slipped unnoticed into a gap in the boot's corner. Sopping wet from sweat, mine and my training partners, it had begun to fester.

I can tell you right now, it does not impress your lady friends to jump in a car that smells like dirty arse.

*Aussie for "trunk"

What's a rashie?

I used to, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

When I can afford to get the wire out maybe I can resume BJJ. So basically a mosh pit has ruined my BJJ prospects for now I'm focusing on FMA.

So you used to BJJ, but then you took a wire to the knee?

I am currently missing some training sessions due to the rise in fuel prices. I have to drive 1.5 hours each way to go train with my BJJ instructor and it is simply to expensive to keep at it right now. It is a simple matter of train or not be able to pay my bills. I only get to train 2x per week with them as it is and unless prices go down on fuel, it may get somewhat lean on trainingwith my instructor. At least now, I have added teaching BJJ classes to my school's curriculum, so I get to roll 3x per week with my own students. Most of which are former wrestlers mixed with some current collegiate wrestlers.
