Hello fellow scouts! It has been quite a while ... life has taken me away from NF and back to the laziness of my pre-marathon running self. 

 

Quest One : The Body

02_Stranger-Things.gif

I need to get back into doing something - while sleeping in is nice, it makes for around and unhappy scout! 

It is time to get back on that running horse and work the body back into shape! 

 

Goal : Work out every damn day! 

 

Quest Two : The Monster

08_Stranger-Things.gif

I've been eating poorly and drinking too much booze ... time to cut back and help the body get back into a better shape than round!

 

Goal: Follow any bad meal with a good one!

Goal: Don't have more than one boozy drink per meal

 

Quest Three :  011
01_Stranger-Things.gif

With the wife traveling more I need to work harder to make her feel special so I want to do stuff for her ... thinking planning date nights 

 

Goal: Two date nights with the wife!

 

 

Life Quest : The Upside Down

The wife and I are in serious talk about shifting city. We've gone month to month on our lease and are going to survey areas of the city we're looking to move to. I need to have some real talk with work and see about 

 

Goal: Nail down job shift!

I love Stranger Things! Definitely following because of the theme :P

Good luck with your Quests, and I hope the date nights go well. :D

 

SUCH a great show  - serious nostalgia bomb for me as I'm a 80s kid thanks to having brothers born in '70s

 

Me too - have to start planning something

Can't wait for Season 2 of this show!

 

I too have been guilty of excess beers lately.  Thanks, delicious pumpkin beer season :(

"Well...in the end, it boils down to two simple choices. Either you do or you don't.

You'd think with all the problems in this world, there'd be more answers. It's not fair...
...But that's the way things are. The choice is yours."

I do enjoy the delicious pumpkin and dark beers of fall thus just limiting not removing  ... trying not to set myself up for failure.

Quest One : The Body

Sunday was a rest day which meant poke hunting! 

Monday was 3 miles before flying to Cali

Tuesday was 4 miles in uber flat San Jose

 

 

Quest Two : The Monster

 

So far I've done pretty good with the meals - no terrible meals save a pizza Sunday night as the wife wanted it! 

Booze I did have more than 1 last night cause ... presidential debate.

 

 

Quest Three :  011

Plotted a few idea but nothing setup yet - however the wife is going to be traveling very much soon ... so I'll need to act quickly! 

 

 

Life Quest : The Upside Down

Currently in SJC so hopefully I can chat with folks here about things

You weren't the only rebel driven to drink after the presidential debate!  Sadly I suspect there will be more beers to come...
