My name is Wild Wolf and this is my Respawn challenge. With a new computer set-up, I’m able to get on the boards a little more often and wanted to get back to challenging myself physically and mentally. For the last 2 months it seems, I haven’t done much in the exercise/physical department. That includes going to Gaelic practice in over a month! Laziness? Maybe. Depression? Maybe. But either way, something needs to give. Depression you may ask? It’s a mild case, but I’ve let things get me down and throw off my normally positive mental state of mind. I attribute most of the way I feel towards my lack of physical training...so I know how to fix that part. But why is it so hard for me to find the time to train nowadays? I don’t need a solid 60 min to consider it a worthy WOD….15-min is enough time to blast myself and sweat out the bullshit...I’m just being lazy and prioritizing other things. I want to be more strict and disciplined...a stretch of things that is no stranger to me and all that starts NOW. Not next Monday or this weekend or whatever. Now. So who is Wild Wolf? Well, he’s a lot like your best friend. He’s got your back when times get sticky. He’s there to make you laugh when you’re feeling low. He’s even there to lend some worldly and Godly advice when wisdom is needed. But, he’s also: A closet pot head An anxious nail biter A hot-head A procrastinator Jealous Manipulative/Cheater a quitter I’m sharing this with you because my name is Ryan and I am Wild Wolf. No curtain. No mask or cowl. No secret identity. Just me. I feel like by being transparent with everyone that I can get back to being “myself” a lot sooner rather than later My inspiration changes all the time, so I’ve decided NOT to theme out my comeback challenge and just flood it with all the stuff I like. So expect music videos, obscene memes, inappropriate gifs and anything else I’m feeling at that point in time. It’ll be very Deadpool-esque if I can make a comparison haha. Goal #1: Train 3x a week. Nothing flashy-just get out and get some structured workouts in! Goal #2: Eat I want to put back on the muscle I’ve lost from being a lazy bastard. Protein, protein and PB&J! Track my protein intake daily. Goal #3: Recover Bum shoulder is feeling good these days but I’ve been slacking hardcore on my re/prehab. Time to bulletproof and get flexible! Re/Prehab daily with 1x a week for deep tissue work. Goal #4: Run Face my fears and daily struggles head on. Run TOWARDS my problems. Also, work 1-2x sprints a week. Bonus: Try for 1 day of speed drills/footwork Bonus: Try for a long trail run or ruck 1x a week Now, all I gotta do is keep up my end of the bargain and get back to my true form. Wolf

Hello Everyone! So... I've succumbed to this thing called "Real Life" and I don't get many chances to rock my 4WC anymore. So... BATTLE LOG TIME!! At least anything goes here and I can adhere to my busy schedule a little better So... THE RULES! Always be Swanky (if you don't know how-you will learn) Laugh often Embrace your quirks aka "Embrace the Weird" Look on the bright side of things (easier said then done) Admit when you are wrong (also tough to pull off..#Pride) Become Wolflean (mental and physical aspects) For those who don't know me, well, you'll get to know me. I'm an open book with enthusiasm to spare. I do crazy things because I love the sense of adventure and sometimes this gets me into trouble. I'm married to my best friend and love of my life, Heather and we have 3 very handsome, very rowdy boys aka the wolf pups, that keep our hands full. So... This Battle Log is an attempt to keep up with all my Nerd friends and still manage to challenge myself while BEING myself. Right now, I'm still trying to strike a balance between health and fitness, work and my family life aka the Wolfpack, but each day I feel like I get closer to mastering the chaos. It's not easy, though. But I guess if it was easy than everyone would do it, right? I plan to put a plethora of material into this Battle Log just to feed my Rangerbrain side. So... Be warned...Things might get a little...Swanky. Not my artwork but maybe I should draw something comparable? Wolf
