Echoceanic Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Giants are slow, but their stride is large, so pursuit hunting will definitely need to be boosted by a healthy amount of 'get up and go'. "I knew I was going to have to chase something sooner or later. I'm just glad I don't need to tackle it." Echo smirked, finally ready to test her skills. While she didn't do well at speed, all she needed to do was do her best. Okay, gonna try and hit a 20 min or less round of three circuits starting Monday. It's doable, as in I have done it once before. I just need motivation, the right music and a clear house (so maybe I will wait to try till Tuesday) so that my focus isn't ruined by other people. Wish me luck. 4 Quote "... However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." - Stanley Kubrick "Difficult for myself? Agent...

Rinna Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 On @Rinna & @Shadri last walk together, a shadowy spirit-thing burst forth from the woods and took over baby doge’s body. It wrapped Shadri’s legs up and tried to down her like an AT-AT from Star Wars. It was a dreaded chupacabra! It yipped and yammered but was unable to communicate. (Neither of us speak chupacabra). I am since convinced that it wanted to tell us where the hype was.......and the location of the hype-thief to right the wrong it felt in the force. It left baby doge’s body in a mad dash for freedom. Baby doge has barely recovered. 4 2 Quote Level 20 Daywalker Fitbit Rinna joins the Fellowship to Rivendell 318.24/458 Spoiler "The only way to lose is to give up." -Tanktimus the Encourager "You can't beat someone that refuses to give up." -Björn Járnhamar Link to post
obax Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 In just under the wire, I went for a run outside today. It's part of my regular challenge, but even at the balmy temp of -24°C (windchill included), it's too bloody cold for me to go out in that again so I'm counting it. No crampons were used, though they probably could have been, the sidewalks were treacherous... 6 Quote Human Ranger current challenge ~ allons-y! Link to post

TGP Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Pics! from my outdoor trek near the Yeti... First the Dutchmen Run Wilderness-... but don't pick on my pic skills; it was flippin cold when I took these pictures Now First I don't Expect anyone to BELIEVE me without Proof... I got proof right here! Genuine Yeti Tracks Leaping into the pines The KEY to finding BigFeet seems to be BIg boulders- They LOVE that stuff! THE next two pics are from my Adventure. as I said; I was mighty confused for a while but then I got on a road and finally oriented. i mention a Natural Gas line with thick hemlock on both sides. Voila! you can still see some of my tracks. THIS is where to hunt for Bigfoot IMHO The NEXT Pic is taken during the WORST possible light and won't like that nice under a dull grey day. Instead Picture- walking forever in the gloom of hemlock and the branches of the empty wood. THEN i burst out into a huge band of snowcovered grass and a 360 vista from the rim of one hill to the rim of another.... About this the Gibbous Supermoon rises over the mists of a wintry coastal storm into a clearer patch of sky; and all the white covered snow Glows... The Wide open Electric line-Beautiful in the right light! Did I say that this is an arduous 3mile walk that I made Four times in a little more than a week? Great efforts made grand vistas So much grander. THAT is Pennsylvania in the winter! beautiful. brutal. and definitely "Big" enough for bigfoot too hide out in. I guess though we're chasing giants now. hmmm. I'll wait longer: I want to race to them JUST as you guys are beating the Giant Juice out of him. 9 1 Quote https://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/116426-im-awake/ the "NEW" normal is good with me! as Life was Never really Normal anyways....

Echoceanic Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I am proud to say I kicked the speed feat's ass today. I feel like I need to get myself a prize or someting. My goal was 3 circuits in less than 20 min - the 3 circuits (specifics in my daily log) + warm up took a little over 16 min, and adding the quick stretching I do took it up to 19 and a half-ish min. So I made it whichever way you count it. I thought I would have to take it easy and count just the circuits because I didn't exercise over the holidays but my form was better and I actually feel only a little bit tired. These giants won't know what hit them. 5 Quote "... However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." - Stanley Kubrick "Difficult for myself? Agent...
