Charlie_Quinn Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I’m freewheeling a little it this time around so this challenge will be more like a battle log. There are a few things that I need to do over the next few weeks, so most of my goals will be a list of things that I need to get done before the end of this challenge. No doubt the list will get longer as the month goes on! Of course, none of this is fun without a theme. I didn't really put much thought into a theme this time around, so I’m going to randomly post meme’s from Welcome to Night Vale - seeing as WTNV has taken over my life in the last few weeks and it’s endlessly quotable. On the first day of this challenge, I have my first Half Marathon of the year. I’m not particularly looking forward to it as it’s going to be a tough, hilly course; possibly in hot weather (though rain is currently predicted) and I’ve been having a few calf issues the last few weeks. My aim is to just complete the race, I’m not worried about how long it takes or how many walk breaks I need. I just want to get across the finish line, preferably on my feet and with all my appendages intact. Charlie’s list of stuff: Book eye test & contact lens check-up Call Electric Company and give a meter reading Buy Father’s day present Buy brother’s birthday present Stuff for Wales Weekend Trip: Arrange key pick-up time with cottage owner Make list of food / drinks to take with us Buy food / drink to take with us Arrange birthday evening for brother The only other real "goal" I have this challenge is to make sure I keep up with the Ranger Mini Challenge as I keep starting it but never finishing. 14 Quote Current: Assassins / Instagram Previous: 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, 41, 42, 43, 44 2020 Races: CANCELLED!

Charlie_Quinn Posted June 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Week 0 update After taking a few days off from pretty much everything, I did a bodyweight circuit last night. The circuit consisted of a pull-up variation, single leg squat to box, push-up variation, hip thrusts and walkouts. It felt really nice to be exercising again. Sometimes taking a break reminds you of how much you enjoy doing something. Tonight I'll be climbing and then doing some yoga to cool down afterwards. It's been a few weeks since I've been climbing as Hubs has had a bad back and hasn't wanted to go. He's still not 100% so I'm going on my own. They've reset a few of the slabs since I last went so I'm looking forward to trying them out. 7 Quote Current: Assassins / Instagram Previous: 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, 41, 42, 43, 44 2020 Races: CANCELLED!
