In response to Sifu Stoddart.
Most of you know I am working out town for the last few
months. You may have forgotten what I
look like. Well here is the bitter truth
of my numbers. Go easy on me, I know I
haven’t been easy on myself:
Pushups:25,200
Situps: 25,200. This was
due to this last week push because I was really behind on these. I find situps less convenient to do
anywhere. At least they are caught up to
now.
Nunchuk Form: 352 repetitions I included practice minutes as
well. Three minutes per logged repetition.
Kempo Form: 151
repetitions – Ouch!
Sparring minutes: 380 minutes – zero in the last 3 months. Most everything was logged in sparring class
prior to my depart.
1609 kilometers: 847km – running, walking, a bit of cycling.
1000 acts of kindness: 720.
My favorite- told a teenager outside the 7-11 that smoking will affect
his health. I don’t think he saw this as
an act of kindness though. A close
second was moving a displaced vole off the worksite. Probably not an act of kindness for the
farmer however!

dismal the numbers are looking.
Thanks to those that have been offering so much of
themselves to help the rest of us strugglers.
I keep tabs on every team members blog and this has been a real
positive. When I am at home (which I can
count the days on one hand), I am at the Kwoon.
When I am not working, doing paperwork, eating or sleeping, I am putting
towards my requirements. I have found
the last three months, extremely hard to get the time.
I think a transparent look at my way of life up here is a good topic for my next blog, as some of the challenges may or may not be unique to some of the team members! Stay tuned.

I love your swimming without water wings requirement. I have one similar. We all need to pick up our socks, and give a hard push these last few months. . . . .weeks. :) Thanks for your post.
