      Work has been insanely crazy, but I've been doing a 250 air squat and 100 push-up challenge to get myself somewhat started. Doing DDP yoga tonight. Might ride my bike Sunday after turkey hunting. You guys count me in, I need to pick out a pack.

      Fat dudes need good clothes too.

                Anyone down to join me and my brother 9/21/13 in Atlantic City, New Jersey for a Goruck Light? We registered yesterday.

                start of the kiddies school year, but if i don't get in tooo much trouble this summer & am not in the dog house when this kicks of i would love to join in.  thinking about it i will be in the dog house, but still . . .  as an aside i might be joining another a few weeks after in October so this gives me some prep work . . . .

                thanks for keeping the motivation going gentleman & i'm real excited to meet all of you, have to admit to a soft spot for adam313  😞

                awkward silence, hahahahahahaha

                    Good to read :). I've been doing Lvl 3/4 roots for the best part of a few months. Slow and steady, really enjoyable program. "Ray's lifting heavy!" 🙂

                    Was all set to purchase a GR1 until reading "Our rucks are highly water resistant but not technically waterproof. ". Riding in torrential rain with a laptop on my back I need that technically waterproof.

                        you could keep your laptop in a waterproof sleeve, for the rare instance when 100% waterproof is needed

                            I got caught in a down pore on Thursday night 1 mile into my 4 mile walk. My iPhone was in outside compartment and remained completely dry I however was like a wet dog. Rain just beads right off the cordura.

                              I hope it continues to work like that d666 :). I've had leakage on items that started waterproof after 10-20+ hours of total time in the rain. I'll likely be in the rain for around 60-100hours this year. I'll do some reading. My current bag is 100% waterproof externally as well as pvc lined….Thanks for the reply d666, I'll be back at some point 😉

                                I'm still considering a GR1 for bike commuting with a laptop, and considering we get a fair amount of rain here in the UK, one of my key requirements is that it doesn't leak! As far as I could tell Goruck only claim the pack is water-resistant since it would eventually let water in if you held it submerged under water, which is a requirement if you want to claim waterproofness.

                                Once I can convince myself that the high cost plus the additional costs of shipping and UK customs charges are worth it, I'll buy one…...I'm not that far off 😉

                                    Lvl 2 roots today and I kicked its ass. I feel great,  intervals tomorrow. Looks like I'm going to be needing a 16kg bell soon. Doug & Z can't thank you guys enough for getting me into bells! Later today 2.25 mile walk with bricks in GR1.

                                          Day 1 of Paleo in the books.  On to Day 2.  I'm loving it so far, we'll see how I feel in a few days, though.
