            wish i could do this, i'm such a fat bastard at the moment & i would die if i tried.

            very proud of you D666, are you still doing Atlantic City as well?

            i was this close to signing up for cross-fit classes to kick things up a notch, but made a million excuses for not doing it.  might reevaluate . . .

                  shit is going to be fun for you as you are in great shape & will just be helping out the folks that are struggling to finish the Light.  oh & i don't think they will try to kill you on the Light when you are going to do all their events  ???

                  i think i'll come out to cheer you on.  any excuse to get out the house . . .

                              I'm a pussy I moved my GORUCK LIGHT from 9/7 to 10/26. I psyched myself out :-(. It's gets very real when you get the email from them.

                                        This was written by a friend of mine about his experience with the Goruck Challenge back in March here in DC. It's a pretty good read. http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/dont-quit-why-a-post-writer-signed-up-for-12-hours-of-hell-twice/2013/08/22/4194305c-eeed-11e2-bed3-b9b6fe264871_story.html
