1 week ago by mudlifecrisis My #Rucking of late has been lots of shorter distances and less long ones. This was just a trip to the grocery store...but it’s so easy to turn such a chore into a short workout by just throwing on your #Rucker from @goruck . #goruck #ruck #fitness #easyworkout #dfq #columbusruckingclub
5 days ago by mudlifecrisis So… Yesterday was a pretty good day. Started the morning with the @GORUCK August #monthlychallenge Hammer Workout, and then finished it off with a nice long-ish ruck that pushed me over the 200% point for my Apple Watch movement score. Going after the monthly challenge on that, too! ‍& #9794 ;& #65039 ; #goruck #rucker #dfq #embracethesuck #rucking #fitafter50 #columbusruckingclub
3 weeks ago by mudlifecrisis #Mud event number two of the weekend: #mudruck with the @columbus_rucking_club ! The kids and I did a four mile ruck after a roll in the muddy shore of the Scioto River! We had a great time sharing the load of a sandbag, talking @goruck event stories, and just having a great ruck. Moira got into the spirit and carried a log for a while! Looking forward to the next one! #goruck #columbusruckingclub #getmuddy #dirtyfun #rucking #neverquit #GORUCKclubcallout #fitafter50
3 weeks ago by mudlifecrisis #Mud event number one of the weekend: the 8th annual edition of my personal favorite OCR: the @Mud_ninja ! My friends Meredith and Leif and I took on the 2019 iteration of the race and once again were not disappointed! This was Leif’s first one and he rocked it - pushed through when he was tired and got that medal! I take enormous pride in making my medal picture harder to take each year with all the Mud Ninja medals I’ve rung up at the age of 50...and there’s no end in sight yet! ‍& #9794 ;& #65039 ; #ocr #ocrfirsttimer #mudrun #mudnjnja2019 #mudninja #everyyeartradition
3 weeks ago by mudlifecrisis My first #warriordash was my first #ocr , period. Back in 2011, I ran two races that summer, this and the also now-defunct #RuckusRace . Obviously it hooked me. It was challenging, fun, and the sense of camaraderie of it all just pulled me in immediately. It was pretty much everything I’d ever been looking for in a sporting event. Obviously things are different now, with elite heats, corporate sponsorships, world championships, and the #spartanrace push for the Olympics, but a lot of it is the same. And I think the OCR world owes a lot to the “gateway drug” of the

3 days ago by mudlifecrisis @GORUCK #monthlychallenge #3 : The #MataMile ! This was the toughest one yet, but by god I got it done. Wasn’t feeling well yesterday and wasn’t able to join the rest of the @columbus_rucking_club with this one, so it was solo for me this time: so instead of having a partner ruck while I did the PT, I just did three minutes of each exercise to failure. And my quads were still sore from the lunges in the Hammer Workout. It sucked a lot...but I got it done. I AM going to earn that August patch. I am bushed. It’s cold shower
6 days ago by mudlifecrisis Bam! Got after it this morning with the solo version of the August @goruck #monthlychallenge workout #2 : The Hammer Workout. 150 Ruck swings, 150 sit-ups, 100 lunges, and 100 overhead presses bookended by 400 m rucks with a sandbag! I broke mine up into sets but that didn’t make it any easier, just simpler to count. Get after it today! I’m 50 years old and I can still do this stuff. You can too...just start where you are and you’re already miles ahead of everyone on the couch! Walk around the block. Touch your toes a few times. Find a

3 weeks ago by mudlifecrisis It’s Monday mornings like this, where I’ve just finished a weekend with two rucking workouts and an obstacle course race. I get up and hobble downstairs, sore as hell and bruised in spots I keep discovering as I put my hands down on my lap or I bump against stuff. Why do I enjoy getting beat to hell sometimes? Why do I continue to push myself at an age when most guys are playing golf, binge-watching Netflix, getting excited about mowing the lawn, stuff like that? Some would say I just don’t want to grow up. I disagree. Unless we’re
