101/1001 Update
Aug. 1st, 2024 02:05 pm“Focused action beats brilliance any day.”- Art Turock
Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I've attended no Shaolin Kung Fu class and no Qi Gong/Yang Tai Chi classes these last two weeks. I've made no progress with the Yang Staff Form.
July's GoRuck 'Imagine' challenges are ongoing. I still have the "Capture the Flag' workout, which is a 4 Mile Ruck and after each mile, you are to complete 13 Ruck Push-ups and 50 Ruck Squats (30-lb. Ruck). I finished the book of the month, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I also completed the F*CK, which was 100 Russian Kettlebell Swings for time, at 8:22.
August's GoRuck 'Serve' Challenges have dropped. The workout is “The 13”, honoring the 13 Troops killed during the final days and withdrawal from Afghanistan. It has two parts: Part 1 is a 13 min AMRAP of 13 Sandbag Man Makers and 13 Ruck Lunges (each leg), and then immediately after Ruck 1 Mile, and Part 2 is also a 13 min AMRAP of 13 Sandbag Get-ups and 13 Ruck Push-ups, and again immediately Ruck 1 Mile. The rucking and additional challenge requirements are to ruck 31 miles, broken up any way throughout the month, but adding 10 lbs. to the baseline weight you normally carry. The F*CK is Max Reps Ruck Squats in 2 Minutes, and the book of the month is The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman. I have already read the book this year, so I am substituting Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior by Chögyam Trungpa.
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I've continued to make more progress with the books in this entry. Still in progress: The Disaster-Ready Home: A Step-by-Step Emergency Preparedness Manual for Sheltering in Place by Creek Stewart, and Hidden in Plain Sight: Esoteric Power Training Within Japanese Martial Traditions: Tracing the Roots of Ueshiba Morihei's Power, by Ellis Amdur(editor). I've finished a book of short stories, a pleasure read.
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: No progress.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: No progress.
Base Station/Ol' Number 3: No progress.
Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: This last weekend I was a Firefighter Lead at the SHIFT Festival. Although there weren't any wildland fires at our location in Northern Central Oregon, there was a tremendous risk with the weather conditions and nearby fires. We suited up twice, once for fire performances, and once to vent leaking propane tanks, and we were on standby for the whole weekend.
