The Feralicious Challenge
Workout
The Final Feral Day!
Wednesday. And...I completed 8 out of 10. I could NOT do one pullup (but that doesn't mean I stop trying!), and I failed my DIY of turning 20 nights in before 10pm. Oh well.
Today was crazy, trying to finish off my sprints. I only had 10 more minutes to knock-off, but I JUST DIDN"T WANT TO DO IT!
Workout
On Losing Challenges...and Mothers-in-law
Tu. Tai Chi warmup. 3 x 15 situps, pushups, and squats. Morning workout, Tabata Protocol Intervals, 4 sets @ 20 seconds each (10 seconds rest) followed by shadow skipping and running in place for 5 minutes. Stretches and 5 sun salutes.

"I Crushed this Feat!"
The drums of feat crushing are thumping. It was a long, wet, quiet Monday. Passover for some, the start of Holy Week for others, just a day of weekend recovery for the secular and hard living. For nfolkert, however, it was a day to spontaneously exit the gym, and run barefoot through the rain in the park. In so doing, he became the first official finisher of The Feralicous. Hooray! Blow the long curved tusk horns! We're coming home honey! We may be muddy; we may have slept poorly; or have trouble breathing; or we may be limping; but get out of the way, because we're coming in! Just two more days to go, and the bonfires are burning in the distance. Onward!

Su. Another slow-going morning, but I at least managed a climb up the mount before the rain got too heavy. From Madigan's and ending at my house, 51:19 (I had a companion, so my pace was slower than usual).
