BUD/s training
I stayed up half an hour past my designated sleep-time of 12am to watch a special on Seal trainging, aka Basic Underwater Demolition Seal training, hence BUD/s.
Whenever I watch specials like that, I have two reactions. Awe and jealousy. Not the most sophisticated, I know, instead visceral and immediate. Awe because its like watching an episode of Xena: you get to see people transcending their limits, both mental and physical. Jealousy for the same reason– those limits that they transcend are reminders of your own limits, and you want to go out and conquer yourself in the same manner. Or, at least I do.
My conclusion was that I need to be fitter. Not that that wasn’t already obvious. 
Maybe I can arrange to get the training, without having to sign on…
