rita lin Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Originally this was going to be a non-level-up challenge. Because in the next six weeks I must revise constantly and sit my final university exams which will allow me to graduate and start my job as a pharmacist in July. That was until I decided to join the local Roller Derby Team...oops. Main Quest: Become the Rolling Pharmacist How am I going to do that?Revise. Every. Single. Day. (WIS)There are no ifs, ands, or buts for this one. I either revise every day, or I don't, and if I don't, I fail my examsThis challenge finished 3 days after my final exam, only in those last 3 days do I get to not revise, though even then, I'll be revising derby rules.Go to one skating session a week (STR + STA)My first Newbie session is this coming Tuesday (the 15th) from then I'll go every Tuesday (though I'm giving myself a pass for Tuesday the 29th because I have an exam the next day, so of course I'm not going thenAfter 4 weeks I may get invited to the Sunday sessions as well, at which point I really need to decide whether roller derby's for me and need to buy my own kit!Do one off-skate derby workout a week (STR)Lots of squats, lunges, crap like that basicallyThe ultimate goal is to pass my exams (results are out June 19th) and pass my minimum skills for the WFTDA (Women's Flat Track Derby Association) but they reckon that can take about 3 months. So in 6 weeks I want to be well on my way to doing it. I haven't assigned numbers to my stat points, because I've rejoined the RPG Fanatics Accountability group and I'll wait and see what stats they suggest from that then work around them 4 Level 8 Half Elf Ranger STR:19 ~ DEX:6 ~ CON:21 ~ WIS:20 ~ STA:12 ~ CHA:9 Current Challenge - Previous Challenges: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 "Keep your friends close, and your enemies within 10 feet of the pack."

rita lin Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Roller skated today along the sea front and my knee's sore. Think I'm going to add in 'build knee strength' in this challenge as I have in the past had trouble with dislocating knees (years of horse riding plus judo plus shitty genes equals weak knees). If Im going to reduce my risk of injury I need to work on my physio again me thinks. 1 Level 8 Half Elf Ranger STR:19 ~ DEX:6 ~ CON:21 ~ WIS:20 ~ STA:12 ~ CHA:9 Current Challenge - Previous Challenges: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 "Keep your friends close, and your enemies within 10 feet of the pack."

rita lin Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Spent a little time this afternoon creating two derby related workouts for me to do during this challenge. I'm sure they'll change some, but they're good as starting points. The plan is to alternate them So one is mostly lower body & core strength, while the other is more upper body plus a mix of core & lower body. Going to do some meal planning tonight - I know it's not a part of my challenge this time around, but it's just something I'm doing on the side 3 Level 8 Half Elf Ranger STR:19 ~ DEX:6 ~ CON:21 ~ WIS:20 ~ STA:12 ~ CHA:9 Current Challenge - Previous Challenges: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 "Keep your friends close, and your enemies within 10 feet of the pack."

rita lin Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Just spent 2 hours in the garden with my parents. Our garden is...to put it plainly, fucking huge. Spent an hour edging the lawn while my bro spent 4 hours cutting it. Then spent another hour cutting down trees, ripping out brambles and removing very heavy fences with my dad.I'm now very tired but hopefully I'm going to go for a walk with Rob down the seafront tonight so yay 1 Level 8 Half Elf Ranger STR:19 ~ DEX:6 ~ CON:21 ~ WIS:20 ~ STA:12 ~ CHA:9 Current Challenge - Previous Challenges: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 "Keep your friends close, and your enemies within 10 feet of the pack."

rita lin Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Okay 3 hours of revision down so far today. Did my fourth practice exam and totally passed - woohoo! This particular exam isn't for like 4 weeks on Thursday, but it's the hardest one which is why I've started with this. All I can say, is I now have so many more reasons to hate cancer & deadly bacterial infections xD Not working out today - I'll be at work tonight - but I am going to do some of my physio moves for my knees and ankles, what with my first newbie session being tomorrow night 2 Level 8 Half Elf Ranger STR:19 ~ DEX:6 ~ CON:21 ~ WIS:20 ~ STA:12 ~ CHA:9 Current Challenge - Previous Challenges: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 "Keep your friends close, and your enemies within 10 feet of the pack."
