Darkfoxx Cycle 12: Batacular

[AverageJoe]

Awesome work!  How will you possibly top it next challenge?

[darkfoxx]

Thx  

 

Up for next challenge: Merrill Down N Dirty 3-miler OCR, Color Run 5k, mini-vacation, finally getting important adult things accomplished (like wills and sexy stuff like that). Possibly more chucking of the shit. Probably more pants shopping. Hopefully a real, full and un-assisted pull-up (or at least chin-up).

[QuirkyDM]

 

You brought the crazy and killed this challenge. Awesome work!

 

Next challenge looks like it'll be nice and tough. And pull ups! I love that goal. I'm starting to become a pull up fan now that I can do them reliably. Plus, you need that over the head hanging position to swing properly from your bat-grapple.

Tuesday Recap

 

Fitness 

 

I'll admit it: I'm an Apple fangirl. After waiting foorrreeevvvverr for the Apple conference to start and then obsessively checking Mashable's live update stream of the event, and then spending time watching every video I could find on the new phone & watch, I was too distracted to do a "real" workout. So, I grabbed the little one and headed for the park - where he wanted to do hill climbs and run/walks. We got a good half hour in and called it a day.

Nice job with the straight As! You rock muchly, my dear. Muchly.

 

Particularly proud of keeping up with the unstructured workouts, and the social stuff, I know that must have been genuinely challenging for you!

[darkfoxx]

I know, right? Whyyyy have unstructured workouts been impossible before? Wtf was my major malfunction? Seriously. Hopefully that is past and I can continue on this great track.  

 

And the socials ... I did good, but I didn't push myself like I had intended. I need to go to more social events. Baby steps and anywhere out of my comfort zone is good; I just need to continue this track + push it further. 

[BlamedCat]

DF, you did a GREAT job this challenge.  So much win, though with Batman, it is to be expected

[darkfoxx]

Woot! Woot! 

 

Next go round, it's dragons. That challenge had better be full of awesome, too.

Wednesday Recap

 

Fitness 

 

Acupuncture day, and man was I feeling it from skipping last week. While walking there, huuuuuge hip twinges/pain - and acupuncture was uncomfortable (mostly because I can't help but wiggling and the table kept making my face numb -- adjusting while there are acupuncture pins in your neck/shoulder + hip is not the most comfortable thing to do ever).
