Core Commit to Exercise 2013 Round 4: Aug 5 - Oct 13

[Drastic]

Skewing the population over there I see Raz.

I'm in for a solid week for sure, already have 4 under my belt and going back today. Close to being healthy again, injury wise, and it feels great.

Definitely in for next round.

Just came back from a late Friday night workout to complete my 4/4.  I love an empty gym and it doesn't get any emptier than Friday at 10pm.

3/3 done 

[ergophobe]

4/4

If not for my rash comments about trying to get everyone to meet their goal this week and feeling like I could be the one to mess that up having laid it out there, I would definitely have been 3/4, maybe 2/4. Really did NOT want to exercise today, but having been the one saying we could all meet goals this week, I rallied at 7:30 and did some sets of pullups, planks and ran 4 miles. Had a nice encounter with a bear on my run, so that was nice.

>Had a nice encounter with a bear on my run, so that was nice.

What happened?

[bill]

He was probably only going out for a 1 mile run...

[Rumbas]

4/4

[buckworks]

3/3 - Tada!!

I will not sign for the next round because I will be travelling for most of August and have no idea what my possibilities will be.

Could I come back on board partway through?

[Drastic]

Awww yeah, 9/5.

5 days in the gym.

3 nights volleyball.

1 day dirt bike riding.

Man it feels good to be back in the swing.

>Could I come back on board partway through?

Sure bucky, join in when ya can.

>Had a nice encounter with a bear on my run, so that was nice.

What happened?

Oh, nothing really. I meant that with no irony. It's just always nice to have a "natural" encounter rather than, like two days earlier, when I saw a bear looking into someone's car and I ran it down and chased it out of the developed part of the neighborhood, much to the consternation of the tourist whose car the bear was getting ready to break into (he was upset that his granddaughter didn't get a picture - idiot - that is how cars get destroyed and bears die).

Last night, I was just running down the trail and saw a bear about 80-100 feet away. He turned sideways (showing me how big he is - the standing on their hind legs is to gather info, not to threaten). I stopped and waited for a few seconds checking him out and he stood still checking me out. I thought about turning around there and leaving him alone, but wanted to keep running, so I growled at him and he ran off into the woods and I kept going.

That is opposed to the times (twice) when I've been out running and surprised a mother with cubs and got bluff charged with mom ending up about 25-30 feet away, huffing and stamping (that's what they do to say get the hell out of my space). In both those cases, she was really stressed and, well, so was I. In another case, I came around a rock and literally found myself three feet away from a bear traveling in the other direction. He, being the better athlete, reacted first and took off running only turning back after about 100 feet, realizing it was just one of those weak doughy bipeds, and he went back to his business of eating manzanita berries.
