I desperately want to focus on sleep this Challenge (I really need to), but I'm not going to start leaving work any earlier, which means that the only thing I'm able to sacrifice to increase sleep is family time. I MIGHT be able to pull off 7 hours/night though...if I'm really disciplined. Maybe... Start doing PT with my unit at least once a week. This is a case where I probably won't get as much of a workout as when I work out on my own or with the CrossFit class here, but it would be good for me to PT with my soldiers more often. Run once a week in some shape or form and ruck at least every other week. I have a team mud run and potentially a GORUCK or two coming up in future months, in addition to the fact that I need to get into rucking shape for next March. I also have a few workouts that I want to knock out by the end of this challenge. They're benchmark workouts that I either have never tested or have been wanting to test for some time now: Fran (re-test for first time since 2013) 21-15-9 Thrusters at 95# Pull-ups Zeus (re-test for first time since 2013) 3 Rounds For Time (RFT) 30 Wall Balls, 20/14 lbs 30 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls, 75/55 lbs 30 Box Jumps, 20 in 30 Push Press, 75/55 lbs 30 Row Calories 30 Push-ups 10 Back Squats, 1x bodyweight Lumberjack 20 (1st time) 20 Deadlifts (275lbs/185lbs) Run 400m 20 KB swings (2pood/1.5pood) note: 1 pood = 16 kg = 35# Run 400m 20 Overhead Squats (115lbs/75lbs) Run 400m 20 Burpees Run 400m 20 Pullups (Chest to Bar) Run 400m 20 Box jumps (24″/20″) Run 400m 20 DB Squat Cleans (45lbs/30lbs each) Run 400m Murph (1st time) 1 mile Run 100 Pull-ups 200 Push-ups 300 Squats 1 mile Run Helen (1st time) 3 RFT: Run, 400 m 21 Kettlebell Swings, 1.5/1 pood 12 Pull-ups Also need to knock out the first two Open WODs and probably re-do the third.

If completed before 16 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to: 25 toes-to-bars 50 double-unders 7 squat cleans, 315 / 205 lb. Stop at 20 minutes. Open WOD 16.3 7 min AMRAP: 10 Power Snatches (75#) 3 Bar Muscle-ups This Challenge seems kind of weak, in that it doesn't have any daily or performance goals, but this one is more about establishing a little bit of consistency. The next one will be more in-depth.

One of my goals for my first challenge is to do 25 consecutive push-ups. I hit 15 tonight, so WOOT!! Thats all...
