Terre Haute!

Hello all, I haven't been on NF for a while and kind of let my fitness go to crap. I worked 3 jobs while going to school. Needless to say, I only had time to sleep. So, I am only working one job now and going to school. I am getting married in July and want to look great in a tux. I'm doing daily workouts that I call "The Batman Challenge." I know I missed the challenge, so does anyone have any advice on how to get involved at NF again? Back in Black! Matt

Thanks! I think the assassins sound like they may be the best for me. I'll watch closely and see at the end of this challenge if I feel like I fit.

Thanks for the support! I plan on grading my goals by how often I did my workout. My biggest goal is actually doing my workouts. For the touching my toes one, I thought I'd grade based on distance to my toes. For the rest of the goals, It's pretty straight forward: If I complete the goals, I get the points.

13th April, 2951 of the Third Age- A new evil has revealed itself in the South as conflict blazes in the North. I suppose as Dùnedain my prerogative should be to defend the North while all others are preoccupied by this new threat in the South. Since I was young, I've been taught how to navigate the land and many of the plants and their used. If I am to survive, I need to train more before I go off to defend our home. I have decided to stay with the elves in Lothlórien and improve my body and mind. I spoke to an elf named Mordaer. He calls me Beretheldir. He pushes my strength to it's limits do be able to scale the trees as the elves do. He already has made be run to the point I thought I'd collapse. When I'm not improving my body, I am improving my mind. Only a man who thinks lives. I am to study the scrolls on the plants of our world. He says I am not a true ranger if I cannot use nature to win my battles. Without intellect, a ranger is just another man with a sword and a bow running off to fight evil. Tomorrow begins my first day of real training. I'm looking forward to it. Main Goal - Build Strength and Increase Endurance (STR 5 / STA 3 ) 1) Do body weight workout 3 days a week 2) Run with my dog at least twice a week 3) Do yoga everyday to increase flexibility to protect me from injury when I go on to harder (and more fun) activities Side goals 1) Apply to go back to school (WIS 2) 2) Touch my toes (DEX 3) Life Goal(s) 1) Save up for engagement ring (CHA 2) My Motivation I have been very sick this past year. I am a type one diabetic and began to get sick every day. I am now on a very strict SCD/Paleo Diet which has made me feel better than I have in years. I still have some days where I have a bad reaction to food, so I have chosen to consider myself a Lycan. Now I want to get my life back and become even better than before.
