Enter the wuss...
I've said for a long time that I basically treat ma as a fun and healthy hobby. Plus the fact that until lately I was recovering from a knee injury and I'm broke all the time means I'm not going to class and only training solo. Plus, I don't do weights (something that really ought to change) so this will look pretty pathetic to most of you.
First thing in the morning: qigong; internal eagle claw and eight silken brocade.
various times throughout the day: chang taiji long form, probably a total of about 4 reps
evening: crunches, pushups, hindu squats (now that my knee is okay) also sometimes taiji iron ball or 13 naughty boys qigong.
sparring/rolling - none
cardio - do hindu squats count? Carrying my books and art supplies around campus? Probably not.
weight training - none
If I suddenly get money and time to do what I want, I'll probably be training at Tai Chi People three times a week, for his tai chi shuai chiao classes and saturday morning qigong, then at the Integrated Arts place I stumbled onto last week twice or three times a week for ground grappling and maybe I'd try his kickboxing, too. If I really wise up, I'll also start running and weights on alternate days.

"It is the same in all wars; the soldiers do the fighting, the journalists do the shouting, and no true patriot ever get near a front-line trench, except on the briefest of propoganda visits...Perhaps when the next great war comes we may see that sight unprecendented in all history, a jingo with a bullet-hole in him."
First you get good, then you get fast, then you get good and fast.
