1 month ago by mudlifecrisis I like #rucking in the early morning. I did a live story this morning while I was out about what I’m gonna call the #ohdarkthirty gang - the folks who get their workouts in early because of time management, the way it makes them feel the rest of the day, and more. I see walkers, runners, people in gyms, etc. as I’m rucking around the neighborhood each morning and it inspires me. I’m well over 1/3 of the way to my goal of 75 miles of rucking for September’s @goruck #monthlychallenge and it inspires me. I was even listening to
1 month ago by mudlifecrisis Woke up a bit earlier than my alarm this morning so I was able to get a little more mileage this morning...and it put me over 50 miles for September! Only 25 miles left for this month’s @goruck #monthlychallenge with ten days to go, right on schedule! 46.75 + 3.54 = 50.29 of 75 miles #goruck #rucker #rucking #columbusruckingclub #embracethesuck #dfq #fitafter50 #ohdarkthirty
1 month ago by mudlifecrisis Ugh. This morning is a bit rough. My HRV is still down and I am super tired today. Sleep was only so-so, too. So I took it easier on my ruck this morning. Same weight, but only a bit over two miles at a more relaxed pace. Still got some mileage in and I’m over 30 miles for the month as I go after that 75-mile @goruck #monthlychallenge ! Not sure why the sleep hasn’t been great the past couple days, but it’s clearly something to get under control. I am beat. Luckily no headache today, but still. #goruck #columbusruckingclub #rucking
2 days ago by mudlifecrisis Had to make a grocery run, so I made it a ruck. It was raining but not too hard. Instead of having to #embracethesuck , I only had to #embracethemildlyunpleasant . #rucking #rucker #rain #dfq #everymilecounts #fitafter50 #columbusruckingclub
2 days ago by mudlifecrisis Back to the ruck, finally! I tweaked a back muscle a while back and hadn’t been rucking while it healed. But today it was back to the mileage as well as working in some hanging to help keep the back loose (also a great everyday thing to do, period!). I have some serious catch-up to do to get ready for my @goruck #PearlHarbor Light in December, but I can do it. Looking forward to that a LOT! Also got to wear my August #monthlychallenge patch for the first time, finally! #goruck #columbusruckingclub #dfq #embracethesuck #rucker #recovery #fitafter50 #mudlifecrisis #nevertooold
1 month ago by mudlifecrisis Back to another Friday morning #rucking session with @columbus_rucking_club ! Not many miles today but a metric s**t-ton of PT - much of it with a 60-pound sandbag that we all took turns with. This was some #goodlivin right here. Also three weeks into my @strava #escapeplan challenge! One more week on that one and around 23 miles to go on the @GORUCK #monthlychallenge . Doing great! #goruck #columbusruckingclub #rucker #dfq #embracethesuck #fitafter50 #ohdarkthirty
4 weeks ago by mudlifecrisis Getting back into the swing of things today after a couple days over the weekend where I was a bit laid up with a slightly pulled calf. A little rest and light activity and I’m slowly getting back to normal with the #rucking . Couldn’t have come at a worse time as I am trying to knock out the last miles for the #monthlychallenge . Going to just have to work harder and more expediently, getting the miles in where I can. At least I got to sport my new #invasionruck patch... & #9200 ; As of this morning I’m at 58.95 miles of
1 month ago by mudlifecrisis An easy ruck this morning for Duncan and I (we may do another later). We just needed groceries and since @luckysmarket is easily within walking distance, I upped the ante and put the ruck on. Best part: Duncan saw me wearing mine and immediately put his on without being asked or even suggested! Second best part: we walked out of the store and he immediately wanted to go home a different way that would add a little more distance. He’s loving this! @goruck #goruck #columbusruckingclub #rucking #rucker #dfq #myruckingkids #embracethesuck #fitafter50 #autism #beatingautism
3 weeks ago by mudlifecrisis That face when your #rucking workouts pay off as you are late for the bus, and have to run for it. With your laptop and all your EDC in the backpack. A quarter mile. #winning #goruck #columbusruckingclub #rucker #dfq #embracethesuck #fitafter50 #functionalfitness
1 month ago by mudlifecrisis It’s a gorgeous day, so Duncan and I headed out for a #ruck around #Clintonville ! We chose a route that took us by the Clintonville #Vietnam and #WorldWarII memorials, and we also came across a neighborly sort who put a cooler full of water with cups near the Olentangy bike trail! A great day for a ruck - me with 30 lb. plus water and him with 15 lb., an increase for him! 33.08 + 3.24 = 36.32 of 75 miles for the September @goruck #monthlychallenge #goruck #columbusruckingclub #rucking #rucker #myruckingkids #dfq #embracethesuck #goodlivin #fitafter50
2 months ago by mudlifecrisis Ruck finished! It’s freaky gorgeous out and I didn’t do anything overly tough, just kept up with the mileage for the month! @goruck @columbus_rucking_club #goruck #columbusruckingclub #rucking #rucker #dfq #embracethesuck #fitafter50 #goodlivin
1 month ago by mudlifecrisis My pics are a little shaky, but the @columbus_rucking_club got it done this morning! 10 burpees 20 lunges 30 push-ups 40 ruck flutter kicks 50 ruck squats 60 second plank (half arms, half elbows) And about a three mile ruck sharing a 60-pound sandbag, broken up with a halfway stop for more ruck squats and dips. All before the sun came up. Yes, we’re all part of the #ohdarkthirty club! @goruck #goruck #rucking #columbusruckingclub #rucker #gr1 #goodlivin #fitafter50 #embracethesuck #dfq
