Really excited for these upcoming events:
Carrying our IED
I forgot to write something post-Goruck Challenge after I completed it in early March. It was, in short, a great experience. It was cold, difficult, dirty and a very long day. But it was awesome to push myself and get pushed (in a positive way) by others, embrace the suck and just keep moving forward.
We probably covered about 15 miles or so in D.C., over a period just over 12 hours. I was never a big team sports guy, but the camaraderie and team spirit exhibited by everyone in the same situation, putting themselves through the same paces, was very uplifting and fun.
I definitely recommend it for anyone looking to challenge themselves and challenge what their perceived limits are. I will definitely do it again, and have my eye on a Goruck Heavy — a 24-hour challenge — in the future, as well as the yet-to-be-fully revealed Goruck Nasty.
We moved to our new HQ at NPR and I finally got my fancy stand-up workstation. Complete with electronic height controls and a tall chair for those times when I need to get off my feet for a few. It’s pretty boss (I’m trying to bring that word back).
Today was a killer.
Warm-Up

Closer
Those crazy kids.
Nice parody, based on the Macklemore (and Ryan Lewis) track “Thrift Shop.”
Also, here’s the original, “Thrift Shop.”
