I&#8217;ve finished the entire Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), Matthew&#8217;s Gospel, Acts of the Apostles and I&#8217;m nearing the end of the Psalms. On the subject of Bible reading plans, Meg Hunter-Kilmer recently posted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.piercedhands.com\/reading-bible-year\/\" target=\"_blank\">an article about an alternative reading plan<\/a>, which I might tackle next year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span style=\"color: #339966\"><strong>Resolution #2: Get back into martial arts<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI have now been doing Kung Fu (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.whitedragonmartialarts.com\/martial-arts\/kung-fu.php\" target=\"_blank\">Choi Li Fut<\/a>)\u00a0for three and a half months. I&#8217;ve already got my first three stripes and I should be taking my Yellow Sash test sometime in May, after the Kung Fu tournament this weekend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Resolution #3: Run a marathon<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOut of my three resolutions, this is the only one which is a little shaky. I have been building my fitness back up. As well as Kung Fu, I have returned to playing Ultimate Frisbee each week (far more enjoyable than just running sprints) \ud83d\ude42 I have also been having some intensive massage therapy to sort out some of my muscle issues in my right side. I hope to start actually going out for runs sometime next month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31129 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/restlesspilgrim.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Ip-Man.jpg\" alt=\"Ip Man\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/restlesspilgrim.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Ip-Man.jpg 600w, https:\/\/restlesspilgrim.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Ip-Man-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So far this year I haven&#8217;t posted any updates regarding my new year resolutions.
