Strickland5 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 I feel like 2020 was rather disorienting for everyone - like it just went and ... Yeah black eyes ... that's how 2020 felt. Wait ... not black eyes!!! uh ... oh ... Yes this will be a Supernatural themed challenge ... cause I'm rewatching the whole series ! Quest 1 - It's not the years, it's the mileage As always the main focus for me is running (comes with being a scout) Currently we are cruising at 5 and 6 miles during the church of the long run I'm looking to hit double digits on long run by the end of this challenge! Quest 2 - I'm trying to survive. Now let's be honest I'm NOT going to look like Sammie at the end of this but gotta start somewhere Now is the time to stop making excuses and getting back into body weight workouts! GOAL - 3 body weight workouts per week! Quest 3 - Bring me (no) Pie! With the shelter in place going on, the food stuffs have gotten a bit crazy - time to clean things up and stop eating so much pie Looking to limit myself to 1 sweet treat a day and up my fruit / veg intact with 3-4 snacks of them per day. Quest 4 - Learn the Lore Always keep reading! I've not found a new book yet but I'm on the hunt ... as it were. Let's see where the road leads us 8 1 Half-Ork Scout Leader Running PRs : 5K 24m16s | 10K 53m32s | 15K 1h18m09s | Half Marathon 2h1m44s | Marathon 4h42m2s Past Challenges #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 #24 #25 #26 #27 #28 #29 #30 #31 #32 #33 #34 #35 #36 #37 #38 #39 #40 Current Challenge : TBD Link to comment

I currently have At Home by Bill Byrson, Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield, and LikeWar by PW Singer sitting unread in my kindle ... apparently getting older means non-fiction becomes interesting Though I've been going thru a Sword and Sorcery kick of late with The Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories by Fritz Leiber - as I have all 8 books worth.

Amazon Ninja Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 I'M SO FOLLOWING THIS! “The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say 'no' — they may not be smart enough to say 'yes.” - Keith Olbermann Link to comment

Really need to look for a good every other day routine maybe pop over to DareBee and see what they have Q3 We had a lovely salad for lunch - so woo! No real bad snacks to speak of so that's a win as well. Q4 Reading my ICRPG books as I'm running a game for my wife and some friends. This is her first time playing any RPG and she requested a non-fantasy, so we're playing in the Altered State universe - a cyberpunk game which uses the ICRPG rules. 5 Half-Ork Scout Leader Running PRs : 5K 24m16s | 10K 53m32s | 15K 1h18m09s | Half Marathon 2h1m44s | Marathon 4h42m2s Past Challenges #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 #24 #25 #26 #27 #28 #29 #30 #31 #32 #33 #34 #35 #36 #37 #38 #39 #40 Current Challenge : TBD Link to comment
