“Luck is what you have left over after you give 100 percent.”- Langston Coleman


Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I've trained in one Shaolin Kung Fu class and two Qi Gong/Yang Tai Chi classes this last week. I've restarted with the Yang Staff Form and made mild progress with the Shaolin sword form. I ran the Donut Dash this last Sunday.

March's GoRuck 'Accept' Challenges are ongoing. I finished the workout,'The Shannon', which was a 35-minute AMRAP of a 1-minute Sandbag Deadlift Hold, 16 Burpees, a 200m Run, and 19 Sandbag Thrusters, all while wearing my 20-lb. weight vest for the entire workout, using my 60-lb. Sandbag. I got through almost three rounds; the plate carrier made this a brutal workout. I've also finished the book of the month, Faith, Hope and Carnage by Nick Cave and Seán O'Hagan. All I have left is the rucking and additional challenge, which is to, "Ruck 1 Mile Per Day Every Day. Bring a friend, family member or pet for at least 1 of those miles each week. You pick the load". I'm current on my rucking as of today.

Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I've made no progress with the books in this entry, including The Inside Track: An Inspirational Guide To Conquering Adversity by Peter Sage, 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).

Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: No progress. The Daily Driver still has some transmission issues but is driving okay.

In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: No progress.

Base Station/Ol' Number 3: Septic trenching has started, weather permitting. Heavy equipment is already on the property, the hole for the septic tank is dug, and limited graveling of the driveway and minor improvements are also going on.

Adventure/Doing Stuff: No progress.
