    If anyone is in town during the event 9/8/13 I would love a cheerleader.

      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.

                        food for thought. I may just do that. Ill keep you posted. Jake wanted to watch. He is so excited for the event much more than I am.

                            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

                                    that's an outstanding set-up zee. what are your thoughts on those ropes as i've been thinking about getting a set to try-out & what is the "ROGUE" box for?

                                      Anyone interested in a few of the Goruck triblend tees? I've lost some and they are hanging off me.

                                          think i might be wrapping some bricks soon as this is about six months out. need to start putting in road work & see if i can clean my diet up a bit.  attempted that paleo stuff & it just didn't work for me on the 1st pass.  maybe a 2nd attempt is in order. . . .
