grim23You have to appreciate the slow grind because success is not going to happen overnight. It can happen overnight, but that's not my journey. - Davante Adams
Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I'm struggling back to my routine of 30 pushups, 30 air squats, 30 crunches, and 3 sets of 35 grippers every work day. I have trained in four Yang Style Tai Chi/Qigong classes this last week, including a makeup class from last week, but no Yang staff form.
We still have to finish the May GoRuck 'Reverence' Challenge requirements, the second 5-mile Ruck, including "ruck[ing] 2+ miles in the vicinity of a local cemetery. No noise, only respect", and the additional tasking of visiting a grave and making an offering. We still have March's bonus WOD, all of June's 'Dare' Challenge, except for the rucking requirement, and all of July's Challenge, except for the rucking requirement. We have started August's 'Peace' rucking requirement of "31 total miles, broken down anyway throughout the month", completing the two miles on the first day, and we're now up to five miles.
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I've finished This Wild Darkness: The Story of My Death by Harold Brodkey.
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: The Whorse is still 10-7 and may be out of service for a while.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: I spent a full day at the Fire Station. The apparatus I was assigned to (HB482) was also 10-7, so I ended up assigned to Medic 482 and ended up with my first EMS call in over three years. We transported our patient, and I struggled to remember how to place leads, spike an IV bag, and figure out a new style of monitor. I did ok with cleaning and being generally helpful, but I'll need some practice on hospital runs.
Base Station/Ol' Number 3: I'm still working on replacing the broken curtain rod brackets in Ol' Number 3; I ordered the wrong size again. The painting of the Gate House and the Pump House has still not yet happened but is supposed to happen next week. Some organization and movement of boxes of gear, including some of my Burning Man gear, were moved back to Base Station.
Adventure/Doing Stuff: We attended the 21 Pilots concert, with Peter McPoland opening for them - one of the best shows of the year.
