Strickland5 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 So I'm building from my critical roll last challenge. It is time for the Avenger in me to Assemble! Cause I'm a bit of comic geek and hey I wanted a fun theme Quest 1 : Run like QuickSilver (Sta+3)Like Quicksilver I'm a runner first so I need to keep that going. I want to be accountable for my midweek and long runs as well as push myself to get to my sub-2 hour half marathon goal come November. Midweek runs I want to run at around 9m10s pace and/or long runs I'd like to keep under a 10 minute pace. I'm realistic about this and know I'll have a bad run or two in the mix so I'm going to give myself a bit of leyway and say that if I hit either of these run it'll count. A : 5 runs at goal paceB : 4 runs at goal paceF : less than 4 runs at goal pace Quest 2 : Get Black Widow's Flexibility (Dex+3, Con+1)I'm not Russian spy assassin (I leave that to starsapart), but I respect the flexibility that Black Widow has. Building on my previous stretching challenge, I'm going to add a bit of yoga to my life. Once a week I'm going to do a yoda flow/routine to help prevent injury and increase my flexibility. A : 6 timesB : 5 timesF : 4 times Quest 3 : HULKBUSTER Smash Diet (Wis+1)Booze and sweets have been creeping back into my diet and like Tony dealing with the Hulk I need to smash this right in the face. I know I'm not going to remove all the bad overnight but I've got to get myself into a better place. So I'm going to talk with the wife about working towards cleaning up the diet. I'll fill in the goals and such after said talk. UPDATEThe wife and I talked and we decided that after we get back from Austin (this comign weekend) we'll refocus on the fooding. We're going to start doing Sunday meal preps like so many do round here. As this is our first time really doing this i'm going to allow for a week of it JUST not happening ... cause well life. A : 4 weeks of meal prepB : 3 weeks of meal prepF : 2 or less weeks of meal prep Life Quest : Create a Vision (+2 Wis, +1 Chr)Unlike Ultron I don't want to upload my conscious to an advanced robot ... but I do want to get back into my photography as my camera has been gathering dust for far too long. I'm going to start going back to group photo shoots and doing my work photog'ing again so I'll be posting pictures! A : 6 photos postedB : 5 photos postedF : 4 photos posted 4 Quote 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

QengpuBenal Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Some great goals there! I love how you're going to work with your wife on the diet goal. Making sure you build in that support system right from the beginning is key! I know my own diet plan is going to go very smoothly since I enlisted my wife (who does most of the cooking)! It's great havign someone physically present that you are accountable to! 2 Quote QengpuBenal, level 4 High Elf Ranger STR5| DEX 2| STA13| CON 6| WIS 19| CHA 6 Battle Log "I want to live in a world where normal is an insult." - Misha Collins Link to comment

Strickland5 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Cosplaying season is sadly wrapping up, but I'm sure you can find a local cosplayer who would pose for you! It's fun, I promise I know a few cosplayers (samples of my previous cosplay photography ) I just can't recall if any of them do Black Widow. Also, isn't Spidey in black just called Venom and kinda evil? Sort of ... Spiderman got the black suit in the original Secret Wars comics (1984-85). The suit turned out to be an alien being called "the symbiote" which did indeed turn out to be not nice. It later bonded with Eddie Brock to form Venom. Still Spidie has worn a black suit even after getting rid of the symbiote. 1 Quote 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

It's always a delight when you have a willing group of victims to photograph In theme too! As far as Spiderman, I didn't realize he actually went back to black after Venom left him. Granted, Spidey is not my favorite Marvel character I always loved Storm the best. 2 Quote Link to comment
Shukar Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I love it when a plan comes together. Smart getting the wife involved in the food plans. That's a battle I too have faced.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

BlackTezca Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Pretty sure that is where the inspiration came from: Miles is the first black Spiderman but the second Latino one. The first Latino one being Miguel as you point out . 1 Quote Race: Were-Jaguar | Class: CodeMONKey Level: 18 | STR: 46 | DEX: 41 | STA: 35 | CON: 51 | WIS: 57 | CHA: 47 Spoiler --- Challenges: CURRENT 18TH | 17TH | 16TH | 15TH | 14TH | 13TH | 12.5TH | 12TH | 11TH | 10TH | 9TH | 8TH | 7TH | 6TH | 5TH | 4TH | 3RD | 2ND | 1ST Accountbilbuddies: Artists unite for March/April 2017! --- "Everyone's the same height when you punch them hard enough" --- NF Character Profile | BATTLE LOG | Tumblr | DeviantArt | Warhammer 40k Shenanigans Link to comment
