Brute Force Attack
Somewhere back near the beginning of this term, I set myself a goal. Today, I made some very definite progress towards that goal by completing three (non-consecutive, alas) muscle-ups on one of the bars at OGC. Of course, I'm sticking to the wording of the goal, which means this only counts as one in a row; that said, they take a fair amount of dedication to build up to, so I'm quite proud of myself right now!

Monkeying Around
I finally got in touch with PKCC, Ottawa's local parkour community. One of their members is trying to get a weekly group conditioning session going, which is definitely A Good Thing; the harsh and prolonged Ottawa winter puts a damper on most regular outdoor activity, save perhaps for the occasional bit of vigorous snow-trudging.
On my goals list for this term: do 5 muscle-ups in a row. My training has been less than dedicated over the last couple of years, and this seems like a good benchmark to start with.
That said, I'm slightly disappointed to find that PKCC is nowhere near as active or cohesive as the group in Toronto. I'm hoping that the Ottawa scene will pick up again once this frigid pallor lifts. Until then, I've got some serious conditioning to do.
