      5 confirmed, the furious 5, hahahahaha.

      jsj get down with it, promise we will all finish together or get peeled off the cold hard ground together  😉

      was looking at the GORUCK site & they say if you can do a 5K you can do a light.  A 5K is only abit over 3miles i would be slow as hell, but i can do that right now.

      i am currently trying to talk myself into doing this with D666 in the next month or so.

      give me some motivation folks . . .

            It will literally re-start and change your life. It'll give you the pep and make focus and ass kicking in the future that much easier. Commit and execute baby. You WILL survive you WILL be a better person for it.

            Motiviational (hopefully), and honest.

                  A lot of whether I will be able to attend will depend on if we have a government shutdown, how long it will last and if there will be retroactive pay

                  Jody and I both work for the same agency (same office, technically same job) and a long furlough is going to hurt us pretty bad

                    In the same boat as you with the government shutdown Dougie, was a time where a government job had a certain amount of security, now it's really comparable on a lot of levels to private-sector jobs.

                    thanks for the push, i need that sometimes. now to pay the $85 late registration fee for the light and I guess I should start exercising more, hahahahahsh, sheesh

                          i am anticipating it being like this for the remainder of the term of the current President.  hope things don't go that way but i'm fully prepared for it as opposed to last year at this time.

                          nowback on track, i've been trying to figure out layers to wear for late October. i'm thinking some of that moisture wicking quick drying stuff so when i get dunked i won't freeze my a$$ off for the next few hours.

                          i really think this is going to suck, but it will at least give me a better idea of what to expect for March . . .

                                  Same day as mine. If I didn't think the drive home would be so bad. I'd switch to yours. Not sure if Monday will be joining me or not.

                                    it's a lite we'll be fine. only way i won't be doing it is if  (knock on wood) some unforseen circumstance comes up.

                                    I'm eating a donut talking about doing a GORUCk challenge

                                    nods head & laughs nervously

                                    good luck seawolf, you doing the full blown or a lite/light? i think someone else might be doing one around that time . . . .

                                    looking forward to this as i'm stressed the hell out & this sounds like a cheap vacation, hahahhahaha

                                      I may be on the otherside of the world, but you guys have my respect. I look forward to following closely over the next 4 weeks, but then the 4 weeks after.

                                        Just read this:
                                        __PARTICIPANTS: READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING. THIS DOCUMENT HAS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES AND WILL AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND WILL LIMIT OR ELIMINATE YOUR ABILITY TO BRING FUTURE LEGAL ACTIONS.

                                        I understand and acknowledge that by signing below, I am legally agreeing to all of the following statements in exchange for being permitted to participate in a GORUCK Event (“GORUCK Event”), which includes all or part of the following: (a) participation in a GORUCK Event (“GORUCK Event”) while wearing a rucksack full of bricks, and (b) GORUCK Event personnel and/or GORUCK Event participant-led social activities pre- and post- the GORUCK Event.

                                        1.        I understand that participating in a GORUCK Event wearing a rucksack full of bricks is an extremely hazardous activity. I acknowledge that a GORUCK Event is an extreme and unreasonable test of my physical and mental limits that carries with it inherent risks of physical injury that cannot be eliminated completely, including but not limited to an above-average risk of death and/or serious injury. Performing exercises during a GORUCK Event wearing a GORUCK rucksack filled with bricks or carrying anything of weight whatsoever, including but not limited to logs and/or other GORUCK Event participants, is especially hazardous and brings with it unique dangers that may not be known prior to their occurrence.

                                        2.        I expressly, knowingly and voluntarily assume all of the risks of participating in a GORUCK Event. I understand and acknowledge that these risks include, but are not limited to: falls; illness; infection; contact or collision with spectators, personnel, and other pedestrians; contact or collision with motor vehicles or machinery; contact or collision with other participants of varying skill levels; contact and the effects of contact with natural and man-made fixed objects; natural and man-made water, road and surface hazards; close proximity and/or contact with thick smoke and/or open flames; inadequate competition equipment and/or equipment failure; dangers arising from weather conditions, including but not limited to extreme heat, cold, humidity, ice, rain, or fog; imperfect course conditions; and inadequate safety measures.

                                        I understand and acknowledge that these risks may cause harms including, but not limited to: bodily injury, ranging from minor to severe; illness or infection, ranging from minor to severe; physical and/or mental effects of exposure to extreme conditions and circumstances, ranging from minor to severe; temporary or permanent disability; paralysis; death; and property damage or loss.__

                                        & signed up anyway, hahahahahahahaha.

                                            That waiver is unenforceable.  Besides, even if it were, if you die, Tuesday and the kids still can sue, since you didn't (and can't) waive their right to do so.
