    The Awakening

    Very quick update Yesterday, my workout was rained out Today I tried to the level 4B workout, but I couldn't do the one legged assisted squats, I had to sub normal squats. I have been logging my food pretty well. No Little Debbie's yesterday.
  3. Great job. Soon you won't even be uncomfortable when you get up front of people.
  4. Yesterday, ate the following 3 eggs with sausage beef with onions and peppers New York Steamer from Firehouse. Workout was rained out yesterday, Today 4 sets 10 squats 15 sec Assisted Straight Arm Support (almost no assisance) 8 wall Slides
  5. Worst case find a area in Albuquerque with some neat shops. Get some walking in and find you something selfish to hang on your wall.

    Logged my food for the day. On a side note, oatmeal cream pies are evil. I also posted my photo for the week over on instigram. Take a look if you like. Straight out of the camera. Nice cold morning. I could watch the ice form as the water flowed past me. Pretty neat morning.

    Hopefully, number 4 is how I document it.
  10. With the sore throat, you may want to rehearse out loud in your head. Actually say the words in your head at the rate you would speak them. Save your throat. I've gotta get my tree down too. It's been up sense last year.

    Thanks Monday, I got my food logged. I am trying to be healthy with my diet, but I am not making any official changes yet. I did limit myself to coffee, water, and tea. I did the academy Calibration test for my work out. This morning, I got up and did the level 4 workout A. I had to substitute the ring rows for body weight rows and I didn't to well with the hanging leg raise. I need to make me some workout rings.

    The Awakening

    The Awakening Doing a hard reset, coming back from a long hiatus. I want to be able to play with my kids and keep up. I want to be able to climb a mountain and see the other side. I want to be able to be a hero when the need arises. I want to grow old with the love of my life. Now it the time to put my body into the condition it needs to be in to fulfill what I want it to do. Goal 1 Eat In order to know how to improve you must know where you are. I will track my diet for the month. At the end of the month I will have the information I need to know what needs to be changed. This should be an easy win, but we shall see. Goal 2 Run I am going to run a 5k, but I have to get into shape. My goal is to run a mile non stop. I will do this by running at least 2 times per week. Goal 3 Get Stronger I am going to get functionally stronger. My goal is to do a pull up again. I will do this by incorporating rows and negative chin up/pull ups. Goal 4 Write/photos I am going be an outdoor writer/photographer. My goal is to publish and article and participate in the Petepixel 52 week photo challenge. 4 photos will be published in Instagram for this. For the writing side. I will submit at least one article for publication during the challenge. Adventure I will do something worth telling other people about. Don't know what it is yet.
  14. Having to do a respawn. It has been 18 months. I got a new job that is very stressful and it comes with a hour long commute one way. This is my excuse for falling off the wagon. But no more. Time to get in shape.
  15. Last Challenge was a bomb. I got sick on the second week, it turned into pneumonia. Long story short, I worked out one week last month. I Have a doctor's visit today to determine what condition my condition is in. Based upon what he says I will develop my plan to get me on a path to complete a GoRuck challenge.
  16. Some of the best in the country. The area is mostly limestone, so it lends itself to caves very nicely and it also tends to make some very nice formations. But ithe is the same here with the cages in geography. The Quachita mountains just south of the Ozarks have different stone and no caves.
  17. I did some back in college. Mostly in the ozarks. Mostly tied to biological investigations. Would love to get back into it.
  18. Got sick Monday, took off work Tuesday. I haven't been able to catch my breath sense Monday. Doctor tells me I have pneumonia. So I guess this challenge is a wash. Still no sweets though.
  19. Wednesday was a rest day. Thursday, Central heat went out and caused confusion and delay, so no workout. Friday, I unloaded and stacked a cord of fire wood. Good manual labor is the best workout. Saturday. Workout consisted of moving heavy furniture and boxes. Not a true workout per say, but moving wooden furniture up and down stairs will defiantly leave you sore. Sunday, rest day. This morning I did a run. 1.125 miles in 10:47. Left my gym bag in the car, and froze my shampoo. That's what happens when you hit the Gym at 5:00am. The workout plan that I am doing is very heavy into running. You should check into it. https://cdn-tp1.mozu.com/7979-m1/cms/files/GORUCK_6weekplan.pdf?_mzts=635507169110000000 Also, I haven't got into the sweets, despite my wife and kids having Oreo's and milk in front of me.
  20. 3 sets of the following. 400 meter runs, followed by 50 squats and 40 walking lunges.
  21. Today Workout was much better. I did three sets of the following: 400m run (2:00 min, 1:56 min, 2:05 min) 50 bodyweight squats 40 walking lunges. No sweets again. Batting 1000.
  22. Monday I did the Army fitness test as a bench mark and didn't do anywhere near as good as I should have. At least my benchmark is low, should show some good gains. 26 push ups 16 sit ups One mile in 10:30 No sweets.
  23. This is my first run with the Adventurers Guild. Been ranging with the rangers, so we will see how this works out. I am working on getting prepared to do a GoRuck challenge soon and I need to get into condition for it. Goal I – Consistency is key. Consistency is only a good thing if you are consistent at something good. So I will be focusing on working out consistently instead of sleeping in consistently. I will strive to work out at least four times per week. I will be utilizing the 6 week GoRuck training plan as a rough guide. A-16 workouts B-14 workouts C-12 Workouts D-10 Workouts Goal II Swift of Foot I need to be able to travel some distance when I run. Currently I can run one mile without stopping/walking, here is to trying for two miles nonstop. A-2 mile run – no stops or walking B 1.75 miles C 1.5 miles D 1.25 miles Goal III Get the sugar out I will be rucking with 30 lbs on my back, so any pounds I can cut from my waste will help off set the ruck. To do this, I’m going to cut out sweets. No soft drinks, cookies, pies, or any other decadent sugary goodness. A No sweets B 3 Sweets C 6 Sweets D 9 Sweets Goal IV Micro-Adventure I plan on making micro-adventures part of my routine, I would like to do one per month unless I have something bigger planned. This month, my son wants to go camping for his birth day. So my adventure will be taking my son (turning 5), daughter (3), and my wife (forever young) cold weather camping. Some extended family might join us also. If you think camping isn't an adventure, try it in the cold with little ones. Pass or fail
