Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I'm still getting back into my workday routine of three sets of 30 pushups, three sets of grippers, 30 air squats, and 30 crunches. I have trained in three Yang Style Tai Chi/Qigong classes this week. I'm working on a weightlifting plan for the equipment in the dojo.
We completed the CHAD1000X WOD ("1000X Step Ups completed as a team, partner, or individual") for November's 'Freedom' GoRuck Challenge, splitting the step-ups with baseline weight rucks. We also completed the rucking requirement, which is, "ruck 4 times this month ... [y]ou pick the weight and distance", and the additional tasking, which was, "[i]n the spirit of reaching out and connecting with another human being, invite a buddy to ruck alongside you." We completed the required fourth ruck and the additional tasking, inviting one of Faye's close friends for a 2-mile, 7 Free Library, baseline weight ruck. As we'd already finished the book of the month, we will slap the patch on our ruck - when it arrives in the mail.
We still have March's bonus WOD, September's rucking requirement and the WOD, October's WOD, and December's WOD, rucking requirement, and the additional tasking.
For the September 'War' Goruck Challenge, we're still planning the rucking requirement of 110 flights of stairs or 2,071 steps, honoring the first responders that died at Ground Zero that day trying to climb the 110 flights of stairs. Faye's medical issues have been addressed, and we'll be rucking the steps of Mount Tabor soon. We also still have to do the 9/11 WOD, which is a 2001 Meter Ruck (1.25 Miles) buy-in of a Ruck + Sandbag Carry, and then 9 Rounds of 11 Step Ups with Ruck (sub lunges if no box available), 11 Sandbag Thrusters, 11 Sandbag Rows, 11 Sandbag Over the Shoulder Throws, and 11 Sandbag Single Leg Deadlifts. We've finished the book of the month and the additional tasking.
For October's 'Live' GoRuck Challenge, we still have to do the WOD, which is a buy-in of 73 Sandbag Squats (Ruck + Sandbag), then 2 Sets of 18 Sandbag Cleans, 18 Sandbag Sit Ups, 18 Sandbag Overhead Throws, 18 Sandbag Burpee + Deadlifts, 18 Sandbag Walking Lunges, and 18 Sandbag Shoulder to Shoulder Presses, and then a Cash Out of a 1-mile “Mog Mile” Ruck – (Ruck + Sandbag). We'd already finished the rucking requirement and the book of the month, and we've also completed the additional tasking assignment, which was to "catch a sunrise -[t]here are a lot of ways to feel alive, but there are not many as simple and rejuvenating as seeing the sun rise. One day this month, set your alarm clock and wake up to catch the sun coming up."
For December's Goruck 'Fight' Challenge, the rucking requirement and the additional tasking are connected: "[r]uck to a friend or neighbor’s house. For this month’s additional tasking, bring them some holiday cheer in the form of a carol, cookies, card, or an invitation to join you on your ruck." The WOD is a 2-day WOD, with Day 1 being a 1-Mile Run/Shuffle, 50 Burpees, 50 Sit-Ups, 50 Push-Ups, 50 Air Squats, 50 4-Count Mountain Climbers, 50 4-Count Jumping Jacks, and 50 4-Count Flutter Kicks (all with a baseline weight ruck except for the burpees), and Day 2 being 10 Man Makers, 50 Plank Ruck Pull-Through, 400m Ruck, 10 Man Makers, 50 Ruck Press/Leg Lifts, 400m Ruck, 10 Man Makers, 50 Ruck Twists (2-Count), and a final 400m Ruck (with baseline weights with both the ruck and sandbag). We've finished the book of the month, Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World by Stanley A. McChrystal.
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I'm still reading How to Be Compassionate: a Handbook for Creating Inner Peace and a Happier World by The Dalai Lama XIV and Jeffrey Hopkins, and The Not So Big Life: Making Room for What Really Matters by Sarah Susanka, Mind Over Water: Lessons on Life from the Art of Rowing by Craig Lambert, and Waiting to Die: A Near-Death Researcher's (Mostly Humorous) Reflections on His Own Endgame by Kenneth Ring, and Hope Dies Last: Keeping the Faith in Difficult Times by Studs Terkel. I've added The Fate of Food: What We'll Eat in a Bigger, Hotter, Smarter World by Amanda Little. I have, once again, 'sat' virtual Zazen.
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: I've completed the NREMT recertification process. That will help with the Oregon EMT recertification process in June. The Daily Driver is back into the mechanic for a fuel evaporation leak issue. I had my yearly physical, and no major issues were noted, but we're waiting for the labs to come back.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: No progress.
Base Station/Ol' Number 3: No progress. I dumped the grey and blackwater tanks, all in a snowstorm, and Faye picked up some debris, cleaned the RV trailer a bit, and covered the Fu Dogs.
Adventure/Doing Stuff: No progress.
