April 3 - and a pause for an updated wish list

I've come even further - I only have a few of these items now

I was just walking about, letting my mind drift when I recalled I haven't done an updated Wish List for my training in a while. I'll point to one such blog post here.

I searched through this blog's history and found I did a wish list back in 2010. I was so young then - I feel so very much older now. And stupider, too.

1) Mats - still got them. I stretch on them every day. They have been a cornerstone of my efforts to stay flexible and malicious. They are in my garage gym and basement at the moment. I try and stretch in both locales every day.

2) Space - still a good space - getting crowded with storing a lot more gear for hiking and water sports, but it is still a good space. Last month, I moved an iMac and wifi extender into the space to watch and listen to stuff while I train. Has worked ok. I have plans for changes in the spring of 2022.

3) Stuff - I don't need any more gear, but I still picked up stretchy bands last month. I'm also on the hunt for a used Apple Watch 3 ... at least a 3 as I want to have the ability to have my watch my heart and call 911 if something bad happens to it. I did pick up a bike and a hitch for the Adventure Van in the spring. Plans for training in the summer outside begin in the van, too. 

4) I took down the posters in the summer and haven't yet put them all back up. Seems bland in there at the moment.

5)Have not been boxing, but am looking into boxing instruction at Cedar Springs. 

6) If there is something I need it is someone to watch my training and be accountable. It is one of the reasons why I'm liking the idea of boxing or BJJ when everything opens back up this summer or next fall. I'm hoping to spend the time between now and then recovering from the place I find myself in at the moment.

7) Foam rollers are always needed. Got one in every room and every other nook and cranny. Along with yoga mats and stretchy bands.

8) Ropes - I think I'll revisit this idea this year, as the costs have come down and my need for low impact cardio has gone up. 

9) Bench - see #3 above - I do have a bench at the moment. It was brand new in box for 15$ from Value Village a few weeks ago. I couldn't leave it there. So, now it is in my garage.

10) Instruction - yeah. This is probably how I will re-start my journey at this time. I need everyone to stop being infected and let's get back to "the normal" I won't go to a class until then. After it's normal, I'll be able to go to Yoga, Boxing ... BJJ...stuff like that. I'll have to "research" the gyms though. A few too many gym owners were infectious disease experts in the last two years and I just don't want to support that.
