Time to make big changes in my life with lots of work to do in a short amount of time! I've never backed down from a challenge and I don't intend on doing so now!

On October 13, 2009 I submitted my application to join the Canadian Armed Forces as a Regular Force member. Basic Military Qualifications (BMQ) is scheduled for end of August, 2010.


Up & Running

Best $110 I ever spent...

I wonder how many entries I can come up with that start out with “The Best $$$ I ever spent…”!!?!?!

However, today I really mean it. Back in January I had originally scheduled a running assessement to be done but the accident pushed that back. When I was finally able to run decently, I developed bronchitis. [...]

T-17, exhausted!

The last couple of days I’ve felt exhausted and… spent. I’m not sure if it’s the weather but I am suspecting I’m coming down with a bit of a cold or something! I’ve just felt off and everything feels like it takes ten times more effort than it should. I’m really paying attention to what [...]

T -56, It was a Meh-Day…not to be confused with May Day!

Today I woke up as a normally do however, it was after an abnormal sleep of almost 12 hours! After I got home yesterday, I just felt wiped. I slept on the couch from about 7pm until midnight, and finished the night in my bed. School and homework and work and working out, caught up [...]

T -63, Just for fun

Tonight I was chatting with a friend when we were comparing our progress and the topic of push-ups came up. How many could I do? Let’s see, just for “fun”!

It’s been a while since I’ve really done full push-ups. I decided about five or six weeks ago, to focus on working my muscles and not [...]

T -69 days (part two!) - Workout Log, June 12, 2010

I went with the intention today of going to the gym and totally obliterating my body. It’s been too long since I’ve seen huge progress and now is the time to really start pushing it. I wondered, could I?

Oh yes. Today was probably the hardest I’ve ever worked out. I made sure to watch my [...]

T -74 - Workout Log for June 7, 2010

Total length of workout: 75 minutes

Was supposed to have a session with a friend of mine but I over-estimated how long one of my appointments were and ended up doing most of the workout alone.

Did a 1/2 hour walk on the treadmill going around 3 mph but the last two minutes I pushed it by [...]

T-75, Workout today

Todays workout was a pretty good one, considering I hadn’t been really at the gym much lately.

Running: I focused on some speed-running (working up to the speed that is required to complete the 2.4km run in the alloted time) and will gradually increase the endurance for this. I’d like to get up to a solid [...]
