Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing: I've attended my weekly Shaolin Kung Fu class. We rucked the Providence Heart to Start 5K this weekend.
February's GoRuck 'Discipline' Challenges are ongoing. What's left: The workout is the "Valentine's Day Massacre", which is a Buy In of 100 Sandbag Back Squats, 4 rounds of: a 200m Sandbag Shuffle (carry any way you would like), 20 Sandbag Clean & Front Tosses, 20 Bear Crawl Sandbag Drags (each drag is 1 rep), 20 Sandbag Shoulder to Shoulders (total) - and then a Cash Out of 100 Sandbag Front Squats, all with a 60-lb. Sandbag (Tough Level). The Rucking and Additional Challenge requirement this month is to "[r]uck 10 - 20 minutes every day in February. You pick the load, speed, and distance. Suggestion: alternate between light/fast and heavy/not as fast!" The repeat F*CK is "a mobility check, working on 3 mobility checks by doing the following: Couch Stretch: 60-second hold on each side; Airport Scanner Arm Raise: Lift arms for 5 breaths, repeat 5 times; and Squat: Sit in a full squat for 60 seconds."
During Week 3, I continue to maintain a daily ruck and rucked an extra 5K. I'm planning on getting the workout and the F*CK done next week.
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I attended another online CEU webinar, From E to Energized: Fueling Recovery for Athletes with Eating Disorders. I've started studying The Art of War by Sun Tzu, and conversely reading The Art of Peace by Morihei Ueshiba and John Stevens (Editor).
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: No progress. I have my yearly wellness checkup this week. I'm still preparing my books for my CPA, recording and checking 3 more months' worth of business receipts. My deadline is March 1st.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: I'm continuing Jim Cobb's Countdown to Preparedness book/assignments. Week 22 is firearms, and I still need to check, clean, and practice more with my existing gear. Week 22 is still on hold, but it's now more on my radar. I'm in good shape for Week 50, Emergency lighting. I have several candle lanterns, flashlights, headlamps, and candles. The in-person Older Adults Go-Bag inventory preparation with the Washington County MRC was postponed due to 'extensive repairs' at the Public Services Building. This week is the wound care class, Basic Wound Care Course for Medical Professionals, and I am still confirmed for an Effective Communication in Emergency Response class in early March.
Base Station/Ol' Number 3: No progress.
Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: We attended the HUMP Film Festival, woke up and joined some friends to ruck a 5K, cleaned up some McMenamins Passport stamps, and then attended a Cigar tasting/pairing with my Cigar Club, and dealt with my craving for a meatloaf sandwich. I am also seriously looking at geocaching Jasmer and Fizzy Challenges.
I'm also still spending a lot of time organizing and checking credentials for the Kinkfest Medical Team, now with 36 volunteers approved on the list, and more coming slowly as they are processed through Volunteer Registration. I will need a total of 40+ volunteers, 6 Shift Leads, and myself. Scheduling for shifts is ongoing, and a thousand details are being worked out. I have ordered all of our critical/emergency supplies, and one of our Shift Leads will be inventorying what we'll need to order for our regular supplies this weekend.
