Fitness

One of my requirements for my testing this summer is fitness. Grandmaster Timmerman believes in having everyone push themselves to their limits and beyond when it comes to fitness requirements. If you can do 100 situps, he wants 150, run a mile in 5 minutes, he wants 4.
As i am now 5 months out from my test, i have added a few new workouts to my regimine. One of them is increasing my pushup and burpee capabilities. I hate burpees with a passion, as do most normal people, so because of that hatred, i dont really do them.
I found a neat website that can help you increase your pushup amount in 6 weeks and i have been following this routine for my pushups since mid December and it has increased the amount i can do. I am now trying it for burpees to see if it has the same desired effect.
Check it out and give it a try if you want to get better at push ups.

Poking fun

As a Canadian, we need to have a unique sense of humour.For anyone that watched the closing ceremonies to the olympics last night, you would definately know what i am talking about. For the past 17 days we have celebrated everything that is Canadian and then last night, wow, Prime minister William Shatner helped start us down the road to hilarity.
i think to be able to survive life, we need to be able to laugh at ourselves a little. Now, i know coming from me, that sounds weird because i take things very seriously, but for those that do know me, i have a very warped sense of humour.I tend to do things to amuse myself, which usually results in everyone around me not laughing. Dont know why. :)
Being able to deal with 100's of kids every day, i think we have to be able to laugh. or we would all go insane! Or drink heavily. one or the other.
Love a little, laugh a little, live a lot. Life only comes around once.
