The Heat

I once again must apoligize for my lack of connection. My days are a typicallly 12 hours with an hour travel each way making them quite long so I am unable to attend any Zoom classes. As more time passes, the more I start to forget what day it even is.Some of my numbers are slipping donwn because of this but otheres are getting a huge boost so I am just focusing on doing what I can.

We are also in the middle of a heat wave which is really strange for the artic. We have had close to 30 degree weather for most of my time here and we are expected to break 30 on Friday and Saturday which makes the project that more exhaustive.

Here is a quick summary of what is coming up for me. I am driving from here early Sunday morning to Yellowknife and then catching a plane Sunday afternoon to Calgary via Vancouver. I get in at midnight and then catch a plane to Iceland Sunday evening arriving at 2 am our time (8 am local). From there I will charter to greenland and then jump on a helicopter to fly to the mine site. Needless to say with the 6 hour time difference, i once again will be absent from classes.

I have to admit this is starting to affect my training more than I hoped it would as I find without being able to attend classes even virtually, the connection starts to get lost. Once the connection is lost, the motivation starts to wane. I had a slip this week but it may have been due to being in the heat for 12 hours. This is still no excuse and I have to be better and stay focused on my goals.

11,600 Pushups

11,600 Situps

65 Spear Form

55 Horse Bench Form

450 Sparring Rounds

670 Kilometers

501 Acts of Kindness

I have been mentally going through my forms but without actually doing them, i am not counting them for my own reasons.

No Connection

It has been quite the time away this time. The place we are staying has no WiFi and the cell signal is very spotty so I have been completely removed. I was able to get a strong enough signal tonight to actually access the internet enough to post at least something.

My work scedule has been extended so I am now moving to a different community on Monday. It will still be 14 hour days so I will still be disconnected from the Kwoon. I will be there until the 30th and I then travel to Greenland for 10 days. This will be my first international trip for work ever so I an looking forward to it. The plan is to be home around the 10th of July before I leave again on the 19th.

Needless to say my numbers are suffering lately and I am falling behind on quite a few requirements. This again was not unexpected and I know there are things I can do better on so I am refocussing and implementing s plan to change this.I have slso began to gocus on my personal requirements and have made done good progress there.

That is it gor now and hopefully this makes it onto WhatsApp.

At Work Again

Once again I am away for work with long days and limited access to internet so you probably won't even see me online for a while. I am currently scheduled to be gone until July 3rd so this will be a long stretch. I will post a numbers update within a day or so.
