Day 33,
The cough/cold was bad in the morning, but nothing I couldn't handle throughout the day.
At this point, I think that I'll be buying MIR the next time I start to get a gnarly cold/cough again. I made the mistake of thinking that it was localized to my voice alone.
I'm at the tail-end, so it's manageable at this point.
Did BJJ today, and I (as a 3-striped white belt) rolled against the (brown belt) instructor at the end of class as a welcome. He was definitely holding back, and keeping me in compromised positions to see how I would respond. He was much heavier, too, which made the match more skewed in his favor. I was surprised at how I could recognize his patterns and make counter-moves that occasionally worked defensively. I wasn't sweeping him or doing anything outrageous, but I was preventing some serious advances on his part. He commented on how my guard retention is 'abnormal' or 'abnormally good' (I forget). I'm probably overstating it.
