Ruck for a Cure

I was wondering if anyone would help spread this around. 3 of my Drill Sgts from Basic Training are doing a ruck march across America starting in Feb of 2013 to try and raise money to help find a cure for cancer. They are all veterans who have friends and family that have fought cancer. Some have won, some have not been as lucky. Please just help by spreading the word, and if you feel like it, donating money, or buying a shirt. All money donated or money used to buy the shirts will be donated to finding a cure.

RUCK For A Cure

So I don’t really know what to write, soooo I’m just gonna talk bout my weekend… So friday i decided to run with Alpha group in the AGR… already talked bout how that worked out for me… Then we did Land Navigation… That is alot harder than it should have been. Basically it was me walking lost in the woods. I got lucky in finding two of my points, but used the entire 3 hours, and only came across 6 of my 8 points… I guess it’s not bad considering how I got lost  on the first 3 I went to. Luckily for me, I found a road and was able to find myself on the map. Unluckily, the rest of my points where all upp hill and across creeks and pretty much not where I wanted to be walking :/ but it happens. To top it off, I get back and none of the grid coordinates i have match the ones that they have for my lane, so they couldn’t tell me how I did, it happens i guess. Then yesterday, I went to my girlfriend’s hockey game, and she played great! it was like watching them play the last 2 seasons (they sorta suck this year) and she played unreal, kept her team in the game until they lost to BU… that sorta sucked cuz it was a bad bounce to end the game in OT :/ today I am goin out to boston to watch, cuz if they lose, it is her last game of her collegiate career :/ and on that note, i better get ready for the day

America needs to workout

So as someone who does not get a high from working out (especially running), I gotta say, getting up for PT at 0500 ain’t that bad… Yes the PT sucks, but at the same time, I gotta do it anyway, right? and if I am gonna do it, might as well get it over with first thing in the morning… Plus, now I can eat breakfast! So i guess overall, maybe that is my “high” from PT… the fact that I can do other stuff and be up and at ‘em and not groggy when im making it to class… Maybe my followers (like all 2 of you) should spread this idea of getting up early to get a workout over with. I mean, if I can do it in college, and my dad can do it at home before work (and he is over the hill at 50), then im pretty sure the rest of America can get with the program. But then there are the excuses “I can’t function without my coffee!!” or “It’s too cold to workout!!” woh woh… suck it up buttercup, go buy some UA cold weather gear and get out there (that’s my subtle advertisement, since they follow me when all the other athletic apparel companies don’t :P) Also, people shouldn’t be ashamed that they are out of shape. No one that isn’t a total asshole will laugh at you for trying. Don’t be embarrassed if all you can do at first is powerwalk. I mean, hell, I tried to go into beastmode and run with Alpha in our Ability Group Run (Alpha group runs a 2 mile run in under 14 min) and I was the only one that fell out. I mean yea it sucks, but it’s not the end of the world, right? Basically, all I am trying to say, is as a country, we need to find motivation to get up and workout. If I, out of all the people in the world, can find it, then so can everyone else
