Birthday wishes

My birthday is coming up, and here's my wishlist:
(Please note, many of these items are way too expensive)

2 20lb dumbbells.
a pullup bar.

Skate gloves.
Samba longboard from Lush Longboards.
2 Holey trucks, 2 angled spacers, 2 sets of hardware, 4 hard (slide) wheels like these: Lush Cannonball Wheels, size 60mm. Everything but the deck.

A MacBook. Black or White.
Red iPod Nano. (I am buying this for myself though I do not have a computer to use it with, yet)

4 performance summer tires. 4 steel rims for winter tires. (eventually, 4 performance winter tires) Size: 195/50-16
Short throw shifter (and installation)
a jack handle.

1 White heavyweight uniform top, and a full set of Kenpo patches.
Quality bag gloves.

Snowboard boots, coat, gloves. (eventually: snowboard, bindings)
Roof rack.

Plane tickets to visit my family in Oregon.

Again. This is a list of wishes: things I actually wish to buy for myself. However, it does give you a good idea of the things I'm interested in right now.

3 miles

This morning, before my karate class, I ran 3 miles in 24 minutes.
60 pushups
60 crunches (legs out 12" off the floor)
Arm/shoulder workout with weights.

Then I discovered how dehydrated I was, and had water and Gatorade.

Also, I have been writing out my techniques. I am only missing 3 of 128:
Squatting Sacrifice, Detour from Doom, Intercepting the Ram.
I am also missing 8 extensions.

New Workout

30 minute jog
50 pushups
50 crunches
20 rep of each:
10 lb shoulder workouts (front, lateral; reverse butterfly)
15 lb bicept curls
30 lb rear delt raises
another 50 pushups (I had to stop a few times)
Now all I need is a pullup bar.

I plan to work my techniques later in the day.

Run

On Sunday I ran for 20 minutes without stopping. I didn't even get winded. I ended the jog with a 10 second sprint.

Snowball Fight

It does not matter how old you get, you must continue to have fun.

There is a tremendous pile of snow in the parking lot by the school. We played king of the hill and had an epic snowball fight. Fun was had by all.
