venus de milo in rise personal funtime mega self-indulgent visdev project part 3

prologue | part 1 | part 2 | part 2 1/2

gave her friends last time, and now parental figures a.k.a the ones who found her in the box of scarves and taught her the mystic arts

when I say I tried to not incorporate every bit of the accumulated ninja, ninja-related knowledge I have stored from the years 1994 to 2001... and yes I absolutely did make her surrogate parents tengu crow yokai.

Kept waffling on using the show’s take on mystic stuff and the type of mystic arts traditionally associated with ninja like kuji kiri, the godai and kuchiyose— not too worried though since I am struggling keeping this loose as this is meant to be an exercise in having fun designing and a time waster until Aug 5 which, I have to scream: THE TRAILER CAME OUT AND IT FRIED MY OUTER LAYER OF SKIN OFF, I AM AS EXFOLIATED AS I’VE EVER BEEN AND EVER WILL BE. I AM READY TO FULLY ABSORB THE MOVIE LIKE THE FRESHLY PEELED KITCHEN SPONGE I AM.

join me next time where I explore whether Draxum or Big Mama is the better choice to bring Venus out of the Hidden City and into direct conflict contact with her brothers. (let’s face it, it’s Big Mama because I love the Finding Out Your Own Family Is The Enemy trope in wuxia/martial arts films [although fighting your ‘brother/sister’ isn’t usually the blood related kind but that’s an entirely different concept from wuxia/martial arts that I won’t get into in this post])

animes and being disabled- living through characters

okay so just my thoughts

you know how most of us who play games or read books constantly like to use it as a form of wscapism sometimes, to be someone else?

i noticed i do that with animes.

i'm picky about which ones i really invest time in to watch. Persona 4, Ouran, YLIa, Forest of Piano, and Yuri on aice are the only four i've actively hinted down episodes for.

i guess some background though first: i used to dream of going to the Olympics. As a triathalon racer or a swimmwr. Obviously that didn't happen, I did too many things to really commit and my family and most friends don't have much backgorund in competitive sports to really know what the heck was going on. Most people I know do some team sports but solely to get out of PE. And the big things where I live tend to be swim, triathalon, and whatever sports the local schools have which is usually like volleyball or soccer and not really at that level.

also, i had to quit sports in highschool because 1. My legs couldn't take me anymore (i already moved tk swim to try to mitigate that, that was the closest i got to competitive sports) and sports + glasses + one working eye that kinda works ish = oh biy. I did horseback riding, sled hockey, triathalons, and swim. And yes most people forgot to actually explain the scoring and basics of positions. Guess I missed that memo. Anyways i do music now, bit easier on the limbs (yeah right i say as my thumb is in A Phase from who knwos what)

anyways. I noticed lately I've been watching a lot of thaow real life animes and a few more relaisitc sport/music fics. And i think i understand why.

it's not just because they're cool. I mean they are but there's another element.

it's the idea of motivation, the idea of escappism but in a didfwrenr form. I get tk watch Yuri skate and imagine myself flying across the ice, not on my butt but standing upright. I get to watch Yu Narukami dance and imagine i had that flexibility and sight to dance with partners without a very carefully learned routine lear i smack someone in the face. It's the morivation i get from watching Kai and Kaori living their dreams and playing epicly and freely despite whatvewr limitations they have,a good remindee to go pracrice. i think Ouran is just thr one anime that you have to warch or you're a heathen.

but like.

as a disabled person i know tht unless i get custom akates, I'm never gonna be able to step onto the ice. Or ski without a partner, whoch i did exaclty once and would've done great if the guy coaching didn't realiE i couldn't see shit. Long story. But itms a different feeling, wathcing someone fly acorss a stage or rink or whatever and do it, and it's differnet from live stuff like the olympics because well. For me i can see things more clearly and rewind. But also they're ficitonal characters. I can self insert, really dig through and invest, and idk it feels less weird in a way then projecting onto a real person.

and cuz it's anime, theres a bit of disbelief. But it's in a way that's cool, and there's a type of excitement.

but it's just my thoughts.

maybe one day when i have the money i'll see about getitng custom skates. Even of they're like trainer rollerskates, flyong across the ice sounds cool. but for now I'll just watch the dizzying spins and jumps of figure skating anime. And maybe go practice, so i don't get that nagging feeling when rewarxhing YLIA.

The Marathon World Record Shattered by Eliud Kipchoge

New Post has been published on https://cialiscom.org/the-marathon-world-record-shattered-by-eliud-kipchoge.html

The Marathon World Record Shattered by Eliud Kipchoge

Even if you couldn’t treatment less about length functioning or globe data, Kipchoge’s accomplishment is worthy of pondering for what it says about human stamina and what the overall body is able of, in conditions of cardiovascular toughness and muscle performance. Certainly, one of the good reasons marathon operating has turn into so common is that it permits us regular runners to understand these classes about what our very own stamina ability, bodily and psychological. The very first-time marathon groups I see out functioning this time of yr are as inspiring to me as Kipchoge. For an individual to go from sofa potato to marathoner in eight or 9 of months of determined teaching is an extraordinary accomplishment.

And this quest for self-improvement and a further knowing of the restrictions of human potential now goes way over and above the marathon—although the influences on health of extreme (some may say insane) endurance gatherings are questionable and not all that nicely understood. The Ironman Triathalon—a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run—is an outstanding feat in its possess right. And it is no for a longer period enough. Rivals now do doubles, even a “quintuple”—five Ironmans in 5 times.

Scott Jurek, the legendary ultra-marathon runner, established a new record in 2015 for managing the Appalachian Trail in 46 times. That is effective out to running 47 miles a working day for month and a 50 percent. Due to the fact then, his document has by now been damaged 2 times. I have no notion how that is even feasible.

And how rapid do you assume a human becoming can run the 135-mile Badwater Ultramarathon, which begins under seal degree in California’s Loss of life Valley in mid-July the place temperatures can prime 130 levels and ends at a chilly 8,360 toes on Mount Whitney? Pete Kostelnick did it in just below 22 hours in 2016. (Jurek won the race in 2005and 2005, and Dean Karnazes, who has operate 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days, received in 2003 and 2004.)

But none of that compares to Kipchoge’s new marathon report, for its mixture of pace and stamina. “Kipchoge’s run was so exceptional it’s really hard to give it its correct due,” mentioned LetsRun.com. “In today’s age of hyperbole, this run justifies each accolade claimed about it. The reduce the entire world record will get, the more durable it is to be damaged, and the less it really should be damaged by. Yet Eliud Kipchoge just broke the environment document by more than any male in the very last 41 years, and he ran the final 10 miles by himself.”

Kipchoge, who won the gold medal in the marathon at the 2016 Olympics, has dominated marathon managing like no 1 before him over the previous 5 many years, successful nine of 10 marathons he experienced entered given that 2013 heading into Sunday’s race. In a profile revealed on Saturday, The New York Moments’ Scott Cacciola termed him “a male of immense self-discipline” who retains meticulous operating logs and has by no means experienced a severe injury. He is also marathon running’s “philosopher king,” in accordance to Cacciola, distinguishing himself as considerably with his motivational speaking as he does out on the program. “Kipchoge is the type of individual,” writes Cacciola, “who claims stuff like: ‘Only the disciplined kinds in lifetime are totally free. If you are undisciplined, you are a slave to your moods and your passions.’ And: ‘It’s not about the legs it is about the heart and the mind.’ And: ‘The very best time to plant a tree was 25 decades ago. The next-greatest time to plant a tree is currently.’”

Welcome to the Racing to Adventure Blog!

I've always dreamt of having a life full of adventure. A life where I would seek out interesting locations, difficult challenges, and learn how to do all types of action sports. This blog is a place where I will share all types of adventures. Along the way I hope to meet some amazing people and build a community that helps people take on their own challenges. Some of things I'll be sharing along the way:

Everyday Adventures

It's because of the things we do everyday that we are able to step-up when the big challenges arise. That is why I'll be sharing many of the smaller everyday adventures. I'll be incorporating many of these things into my daily life to build an adventurous lifestyle:

Conquering local mountains

Taking on local fitness challenges

Capturing Sunrises/Sunsets

Mountain Biking

Swimming

Road Biking

Trail Running

Learning New Things

Going through the process of learning a new skill is among the most difficult and most rewarding experiences we can have in life. There is a lot of fear, frustration, heartbreak and triumph that comes with learning any new skill. It is almost always worth the effort and emotion to walk away with ability to do something new. Some of the skills that I plan on learning are:

Doing a wheelie on a bicycle

Backcountry Skiing

Scuba Diving

Surfing

Completing my first triathalon

Riding a motorcycle

Snowboarding

Kayaking

Stand-up Paddle boarding

Bike Packing

Exploration

Routines like going to the same coffee shop every morning or running the same set of trails over and over can be great for giving you a sense of comfort. In order to really grow and take life to the next level it's important to seek out new experiences. Without exploring new places, very seldom do we gain a new perspectives that help us grow into the people we want to be. That is why I'll be going out to explore some of these places and things:

Waterfalls

National Parks

Wildlife

Olympic Sites

Finding Hot Springs

DINOSAURS!

New running trails

Epic Challenges

Your mind is running a million miles an hour and completely blank. Your stomach is tied in knots, floating, and in your throat all at the same time. Standing at the start of something that seems so much larger than yourself. You can't figure out why decided to take on this gargantuan feat but for some reason you can't stop from moving forward. Failure is a very real possibility. Then you take the first few steps and all is calm. It's these feelings I hope to capture by taking on some of these epic challenges:

Completing a Marathon

Hiking the Colorado Trail

Ironman Triathlon

Summitting the 46 High Peaks of the Adirondacks

Colorado Trail Race

Arizona Trail 300

Hiking the Appalacian Trail
