Dec. 7th, 2024 08:23 pm“Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (movie quote)
Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I trained in another Shaolin Kung Fu class after the Thanksgiving break. We rucked the Turkey Trot and enjoyed seeing the holiday lights at PIR, for my last race of the year.
The November GoRuck Tribe 'Purpose' Challenges are completed. I finished the F*CK, which was "50 Burpees With Lateral Hop Over Sandbag for Time" on the last day of the month (in fact, the last few hours of the month).
December's GoRuck Tribe 'Humility' Challenges, the last set of the year, dropped. The rucking and additional tasking requirement is to, "Invite at least 1 person per week to ruck with you. If they don't have a ruck then take a coupon (sandbag, kettlebell, or medball) on your ruck and trade turns carrying it." The F*CK is a "5-Miler for time at baseline weight. Test at the beginning of the month and retest at the end of the month. No music, just listen to your thoughts and breath, focus on the task at hand." The film of the month is The Holdovers, a 2023 American Christmas comedy-drama film directed by Alexander Payne and written by David Hemingson. The two-part, two-day workout: Day 1 is the “Jack Skellington” - while wearing your Ruck for all movements except burpees, buy in with a 1-mile run/shuffle, 50 burpees, 50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups, 50 air squats, 50 4ct mountain climbers, 50 4ct jumping jacks, and 50 4ct flutter kicks. Day 2 is the “Lock, Shock, and Barrel” - using a Sandbag and Ruck for all movements except Russian Twist & Leg Raises (ruck only), 10 man makers, 50 plank ruck pull-throughs, a 400m ruck, 10 man makers, 50 ruck-pressed leg lifts, another 400m ruck, 10 man makers, 50 ruck twists (2 ct), and one final 400m ruck. Taking advantage of the weather, I completed the first F*CK, for a time of 1 hour and 34 minutes. I have also completed the first weekly ruck.
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I've kept progressing 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 started rereading Journey to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda. I am halfway through my yearly fast.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: No progress. I am waiting to take an online Tactical Casualty Care Course and an online Improvised TECC/TCCC course (Tactical Emergency Casualty Course). I'll get them done in the next month or so.
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: No progress. I still need to get my dental and physical exams scheduled.
Base Station/Ol' Number 3: Ol' Number 3 is ready to move but she still has some problems starting. The mechanic came out, and we have a plan - but rain, wind, and the holiday are still slowing us down.
Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: No progress. The Old Man and I enjoyed Thanksgiving Dinner at Renee's House, and The Old Man left with a lot of leftovers. *smile*
