It's that time again, time to get to work. It's been a hectic past few months for me and I'm ready for a new start. Parkour Goals: 1. Work on my balance skills by adding balancing exercises to my parkour routine. 2. Work on my vaults. I can only really do three and I would like to improve those three and then expand upon them once I've really mastered them. Those vaults being; Step, Lazy, and Speed. Strength Goals: 1. Be able to do a pull-up. I'll do this by using the NF pull-up guide. I would like to be able to do a pull-up by the end of the summer. This goal is a bit tentative but we'll see.

Ha, you think I'd be hitchhiking if I were made of money? But yeah I saw those MREs they look pretty fucking good.

I will be going on a hitchhiking/ camping trip come June. And I've been trying to decide if there are ways to stay Paleo while camping without having to carry a cooler all the time. And if eating some grains like oats or beans is entirely bad. Because they are very easy to carry around. Thoughts?

You can order an extra heavy blade for fighting. I didn't HAVE to order it but I thought it looked awesome and figured, why not?

It won't upload, grrr.

Week Two/Three: Week 2: Due to a wrist injury from a LARPing event, I was out for a week or so, essentially. Week 2 Bodyweight training: I took a break for about half the week and did a bodyweight workout on the 16th. Week 2 Parkour: Did some fairly successful training on the 15th. Successfully drilled the step and lazy vault. Though I did admittedly have problems with the speed vault. I'll get it next time. But some amazing news, while exploring I found an amazing spot for training. It's near a library and has all the buildering and parkour delights a tracuress could ask for. Week 2 Lightsaber: No work done, sadly. Other: Went bouldering! As I usually do. Though I forgot to warm up and stretch so I was very very sore. Summary: This week could have been better but I've been busy due to my LARP group. But some progress was made in many areas. Overall, not a terrible week. My eating habbits certainly were good this week that's a big bonus. Week 3: Well the good news is, my wrist is better. The bad, I was really sore from rock climbing. (It's better now.) Also my depression kind of kicked in this week so it was kind of an ill-fated week for me. But we push on and we do better next time. After all there are six weeks in this challenge. Week 3 Bodyweight Training: Did one workout on the 21st. Week 3 Parkour: Tried to do some training on the 22nd but was not in the game. So i'm aiming for tomorrow. Week 3 Lightsaber: Didn't do much training this week. BUT I ordered a lightsaber from a cool professional website and it came in the mail today (the 22nd) and I will be training with it from now on. Hope to do some more training next week. Other: Did some Elemental Crystal fights (A sort of magic fight in our LARP group) which was a fun workout. Followed by some rock climbing on a wall which was pretty cool. I discovered I can climb barefoot pretty well. Summary: This week was kind of a bummer. But I discovered some things. 1. I train in Parkour more efficently when I'm in a place that's far away from my house. Its easier to focus that way. 2. I really need to push myself more. I really hope to apply the second one to next week. And I hope to go running a bit more. I discovered that 3. I am running out of breath wayyy easier then I should. Anyway that's all for now.

Sounds like fun. Vampire stuff always looks like a good time. I think there is a group like that in our area. (Bay Area) And a Star Trek type one as well.

Homemade costume or online? I LOVE AC. Are you thinking Black Flag style costume?

Week One: Went well for the most part. Did regular body weight workouts and managed to work in some sword training. Not too exciting but there it is.

I wish it were that easy. (Being a Game Master can be a tad stressful.) What group were you with?

Maybe an artic LARP? Haha. It's always fun to be thief though,the threat of hanging gives an air of danger.

Aw too bad. And I've heard of Zenkaicon, it looks like a good time. Who do you cosplay as usually?
