Ok, it's been over a week since an update, but here's catching up.

Feb 10: no training
Feb 11: flew out to Vegas and drove around for a long time
Feb 12: did some warm ups in the freezing cold desert at sunrise.  plyo-pushups, squats, T-pushups, stretching.  I got in 30 minutes of martial arts practice in my room that evening.  I went over my open form and my part in our demo team's new routine.
Feb 13: ran around Vegas from 8:30am to 5:30pm doing Parkour (not the strip, but in the burbs and shopping malls close by).  That sounds like a long time, but much of it was spent driving around or getting kicked out of places.
Feb 14: all day spent in planes or in airports trying to get home.

I'll update about today this evening.
