How'd you finish out the weekend? You were on a roll and hopefully finished strong. I hear what you're saying about racquetball, I like to practice shots or serves when no one is available, do your courts have a bulletin where you can put that your looking for r-ball victims...err opponents? I recently joined a tournament so I can play new people and hopefully play a little more often.

Holy carpe diem Nuala, way to stack it on over the weekend. Keep up the great work and serving as a reminder to get off my lazy bum!

21 April 2013: A day racing around in the maita, not hugely productive but much needed and a blast as always. 4up Goal 3: Rolled the IT bands and legs, got a little stiff after sprinting around after cones all day. Save the Bacon!: I ate some chorizo instead

Hmmm.... are the endeavors of the spreadsheet crusade out to record all data in order to categorize and classify individuals into tidy boxes? Well I am generally disorganized and messy so... down with BIG BROTHER! Oh yeah, nice progress Aeryn, keep up the good work.

I do think the rock gyms in the Bay Area are pretty advanced. I climb at the GWPC which is part of touchstone fitness in California and most of holds are tiny and balance moves like you suggested. It definitely requires a more diverse skillset and hand/wrist strength in ways I haven't ever trained before. The good thing is that it is forcing me to use my legs quite a bit more and utilize body positioning in the end I think it'll make me a better climber, for now I still feel like a total Noob .

I hear Wolverine's often to have reason to grumble Blackwidow how is the challenge progressing?

20 April 2013: Ready to give more pullups a go and another focused day. 2up Goal 1: Went bouldering for 1.5 hr, mostly V1's with a few V2's conquered, was consistently baffled by the ability of others to make climbing look graceful and knock out routes I can't begin to attempt. 2up Goal 2: Completed second day of 6-week program; 7,6,6,8,9 taking the full 3 min. break between sets, prepare for more DOMS! 3up Goal 3: Played with clubs for ~10 min. today, trying to work on new movement and streamline the basics. 3up Goal 4: Back on Spanish Save the Bacon!: 20 pushups

19 April 2013: A little sore nothing too crazy. Slow day after work and too much Injustice! PS (I am Batman) 2up Goal 3: Played with clubs for ~10 min. today, trying to work on new movement and streamline the basics. 2up Goal 4: Back on Spanish Save the Bacon!: 55 sec. crow

Guh, travel woes. Glad to hear you keeping up on your mobility work, what are the favorite Chicago/Polish foods?

Injustice is quite a bit of fun for a fighting game, excellent story progression, plus you can be Batman...or Superman...or Aquaman *starts ranting*

Huzzah for bouldering! I couldn't agree with you more about the level of difficulty between V1 and V2. I've only ever managed one V3 and V2's are usually very....exciting. V1's are my bread and butter right now and I keep getting schooled by guys and gals of all shapes and sizes knocking down V3-V5's. Good luck on your pictured route!

KBG as far as the snatch test if it seems like you are on the cusp of believing you can do it. I would say go for it but I usually just get a goofy grin after I fall on my face before trying it again. Maybe I'm just a sucker for punishment but I feel like accomplishing something thought to be just outside the real of possible to be much more rewarding them breezing through a challenge or goal. I realize that everyone approaches goals differently but if I fail it makes me that much more determined for the next round. Best of luck glad you enjoyed some sun!

Thanks, it'll be a lot of work but I think I'll be worth it in the end. Gracias! Weekend has been great, had to go to work on Sat. unfortunately but got to go to a Mezcal event last night and race my miata today. All in all good stuff.

Those are awesome! If only if could fit some in my condo! Maybe I could convince the rock gym to install some.

Huzzah for rust away, keep it up and playing raquetball anytime soon? I missed out on a game today as I didn't bring my gear in too work, keep on truckin'.

Nuala you are being extremely modest! Best of luck on your Space Pirate transformation and great videos! They have a bouldering competition about once a month at my local gym but I'm still working my way up through V2's when the majority of boulderers seem to be crushing v4-v6's.

18 April 2013: Alright, first day acting on arena challenge. Feeling fairly optimistic about inevitable DOMS. 1up Goal 1: Performed NTC bodyweight workout 1up Goal 2: Completed first day of 6-week program; 6,6,4,7,9 taking the full 3 min. break between sets, prepare for DOMS 1up Goal 3: Played with clubs for ~10 min. today, trying to work on new movement and streamline the basics. 1up Goal 4: Back on Spanish, knocked out a few lessons before putting together a delicious tomato, cucumber and sweet onion salad Save the Bacon!: 30 sec. handstand, 30 pushups and 60 sec. crow

Huzzah, pork and rally! Thanks for the vids for reference Nuala, my goal will be to improve crow form as apparently I've been doing it wrong.

Thanks BettyRae! Muchos gracias! Yo tengo pequeña comprendo la lengua español. Yo necesario practico mucho. Mmmm candy smoked bacon, I mean friendly pulled piggy allies! Graduate Record Examination, basically a standardized test that is required to apply for most post-graduate degrees. I want to change careers and hopefully start my path to becoming a physical therapist.

How goes your logging/tracking? Some times I struggle just to keep my daily battle log up to date so spreadsheets seem like to much work. Love the play part of your challenge, I love the idea of monkeying around because I don't feel like I will ever truly "grow up"

Great goals, have you decided how you want to grade yourself for the financial goal or the stair climb after the 27th? Welcome to NF and don't forget to create a signature

+1 on chaos and down with teh spreadsheets! Are you in the USAF stationed in Deutschland? Good luck with the hunting license process, I have always admired how seriously ze Germans take driving and its no surprise they take hunting/firearms in the same regard.

Congrats on joining the rebellion, I'm a big fan of KBs and need to get back to some turkish get-ups.

Glad to hear your alright Wolvie, best speed to your super-healing factor.

Seems like everbody is getting down in their challenges, upside down anyway. Looking good on the challenge and great handstands!
