grim23“Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.” – Paul J. Meyer
Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: Once again, I've attended one 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.
October's Goruck Tribe 'Mercy' challenges are completed. I finished the workout, the “Mogadishu Mile", which was 4 Rounds of 19 Kettlebell Ground-to-Overheads (35lb), 19 Kettlebell Front Squats (35lb), 19 Kettlebell Uneven Push-Ups (each hand, 38 total), and 400-meter Kettlebell Runs, while wearing my ruck for the entire workout. I modified the workout by using a 33-lb. sandbag Donut. I've completed the rucking and additional tasking, which was 5 miles per week, focusing on Elevation/Stairs, "Ruck with [the] weight you plan to wear for CHAD1000x in November". The F*CK is a retest of my grip strength, which is a "Max Bar Hang for Time: from a pull-up bar, hang with your arms straight and feet off the ground. No gloves or grips allowed. Bare hand only. Try it slick (unweighted). Then in the same week test with your ruck on, scale as needed. You will retest both of these the last week of October." MY F*CK results were 57 seconds (slick), and 39 seconds (ruck) - within a few seconds either way from baseline results from August 2023.
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 finished reading Your Pain, My Pleasure: Inside the Mind of a Sexual Sadist by FifthAngel, Devin Wilson (Illustrator), and Sherrye Segura (Illustrator) from the Kinky Library, completing a goal. When I returned my books, I attended an NCSF speaker presentation on the legal aspects and the history of kink in Oregon.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: No progress.
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: No progress.
Base Station/Ol' Number 3: We've moved the RV trailer out of the way of the excavation, and Ol' Number 3 is next.
Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: No progress. We did attend a small and enjoyable cigar pairings class.
