grim23Completed: 46/110
In progress: 24
In honor of Miss Rebecca's birthday, I ran the Statesman Capitol 10k, the largest 10k in Texas (#2) today. Despite less than stellar training (I wasn't able to run for a week prior to the race), and less than stellar preparation (eating, stretching, and conditioning), losing my running partner at the 3-mile mark, and delays at the end (too many people trying to cross too small of a finish line), I finished in 1:00:33. I would have preferred to have dropped a few minutes off that time, but I'll accept this as a completed goal. Next - run a half marathon (#3). *smile* Thank you, Steph, for being the Support Team for Kevin and I!
This weekend was Safetycide, the group meeting and training for all of the Rangers, Medical, Sanctuary, and other staff for this year's Flipside. This, an unusual level of crisis and general unrest amongst my clients this week, as well as staying until 3:30 am one night preparing the dojang for the big training clinic this weekend that I had to miss, meant that my training was pretty derailed. OK, then. Time to get back on track.
The next challenge: we have the Warrior Dash April 16th, and it looks like we'll be running as a smaller team. Valerie, Steph, Kevin, Ray, and myself are confirmed, and I am unsure about others who had previously committed. We may end up being a team of five.
My head is still shaved (#58), and I've gotten a blood draw for my labs for my physical exam for the Health Fair (#49) at the Central Texas Medical Center April 29t. I've managed to spend less time on my laptop a few days this week (#86). I have written a few haiku (#69). I'm still behind on the Challenge, but catching up slowly.
2. run a 10K in 60 minutes - COMPLETED
5. 200 non-stop pushups - in progress
6. 200 non-stop crunches -in progress
12. better my skills with staff/bo - COMPLETED
28. re-read my martial arts library [7/23] - in progress
69. write more haiku [54/100] - in progress
49. get a complete physical examination - in progress, blood draw completed
70. write up will, just in case
79. help people randomly and anonymously at least 23 times [13/23] - in progress
'Ol Number 3 is gotten all of her furniture painted, and extra internal lighting, and a curtain for the toilet area. All of her medical and safety gear has been re-organized and checked, and everything will be re-secured and and ready for Flipside. I like her new look - she's less cluttered and has more space and considerably more utility. Next: radio mounts and antennas, a better refrigerator, an air conditioner, and an external power plug.
