Main Quest: Pass the Marines Physical Fitness Test with maximum scoring. What does this main quest entail? Being able to do 8 pull upsRun 3 miles in 21 minutes (4.82 km in 21 minutes)Do 100 crunches in 2 minutesI'm lucky enough that my main quest has three separate compartments that I can focus on and add on as I go. Each 6 week challenge will have me adding on another component to the one I've already mastered and hopefully in three cycles I'll have succeeded. The time limit I've set is by January 1st, 2014 with an alternate as May 1st, 2014 depending on what life throws at me. Reward? When I achieve this goal I'm getting a tattoo. I've always wanted one on my left upper shoulder and want it as a constant source of my pride and a reminder of what I achieved. Battle Log: The start of the next challenge (September 16th) will have my starting measurements for body fat percentage, circumference, workout log (including run times & workout weights/reps). This will help me stay accountable in my next challenge by tracking my workouts thoroughly and allowing my accountability buddies access to what I'm doing.
