GORUCK Challenge

Today I found a hill. Then I ran up the hill as fast as I could for 20 seconds, I walked back down for 10 seconds and then ran back up it for 20 seconds more. I did this till I got to the top of the hill. It wasn't a huge hill and it wasn't super steep. It was kinda big and somewhat steep. I kept doing this for a total of ten times. I stopped a few times to drink some water and each time I got to the top it probably took about a minute to get back to the bottom. I was pretty tired afterwords.
Get out and do something!!!!

I'm not yet sure if I'm going to be able to make this, but I'm trying anyway
Starting a long stretch at work which means I have to transition to early AM workouts which is a bitch but life could be worse. So today I warmed up on the treadmill and then did a little kb workout with squats, pushups, swings, pullups, and squats with overhead press, 20 sec on 15 sec off, 5 sets only, cause I slept about 15 mins later than I intended to
Oh and I've switched to cold showers and drinking Budweiser, from cans -

Nice, fellas. I received a shipping notification from Amazon, yesterday. The first of my three kettlebells has shipped, and will be here tomorrow. Of course, it's the heaviest one. I bought them all from the same page. Oh well. Maybe just swings and cleans, for now. Lunges and squats, too.

Weighed my pack today and realized I carry ~25 lbs daily. Almost there, thank you text books and laptop.
On a workout related note, similar to Adam, pushups till I can't stand it, 5-10 minute break. Lather, rinse, repeat a few times.
Commute with the heavy pack, and then I finally went running for a few miles after not doing so for that last few months.

walked around with the daughter on my shoulders as the boy practiced with his track team. did a few push-ups, but heard & felt some creaking & knocking so I slowed down on that.
thinking of setting monthly goals & seeing how this continues to progress.
oh & scheduled a full check-up with a doctor to ensure my knocking & ticking is just from inactivity & to get the official green light to move full steam ahead.
looking forward to getting back in shape & impatiently waiting on dates & location so I can make sure i'm in on this epic event.
*need images in here of some of your routines to keep this moving

i haven't lost anything, i'm still round as ever; but i'm going to continue working on it (plus black is slimming hahahahahaha).
*** should be noted that i have yet to modify my diet & haven't really been doing any serious cardio. i doubt i'm going to start dropping pounds until i make those much needed adjustments.

true, true.
reading what all the kids are doing in this thread is motivating. if i wasn't so vain i would put an image of what i look like now & then one every month as well as my amount of pull ups & run times.
it will be great to see where we start & where we end up
