    Default Any of you guys exercise.....

    ...You know....so you can ACTUALLY survive if need be?

    If so is anyone interested in joining me in May for the Spartan Sprint at Fort Carson?

    I'm registered for the Sunday event....feel free to PM me if you think you're up to it.


    Just know this is nothing like the Warrior Dash or even the Tough Mudder.....

    I'm pretty fit. Training for the 24hr Sniper Challenge. I'd go with you but have a match to shoot that day. Sounds like fun.

    Sounds damned good! My motto is "The World is my Gym" - I stay away from "dread mills" (especially while traveling) and indoor workouts....NOT that there is anything at all wrong with them! To Each His Own after all. Sledgehammers, tractor tires, logs, large rocks and boulders, sandbags in a seabag, etc (and yes....PLENTY of burpees, pushups and other body weight fun).

    I just travelled to LA to work a Lakers game and was at the JW Marriott across the street from Staples Center. 26 glorious floors with 70lbs in my backpack for an hour.

    Being that I'm 45 years old I am somewhat proud of myself. I do need to get some access to a nice climbing rope though....It's been a while.

    My gf doesn't like me jogging by the house after an attempted mugging .. I get bronchitis easy so in the winter it's treadmills. Summer time I find a track.

    You'll be just fine. Just have her keep an eye on your purse for you when you go out.

    Ya...being that I'm old I do have difficulties running on hard surfaces (concrete and asphalt) so I pretty much do all my running/jogging on trails. If anyone here hikes Castlewood Canyon then they've most likely seen me run by with my backpack and the hose from my hydration system bouncing off my forehead....or running down the north side trying my best to go as fast as possible and still not roll an ankle (again).

    My wife has mentioned her concern when I get in my 10k walks (try to get one in at least every night). I always have AT LEAST a knife (I pack a folder along with my multi-tool in my checked luggage when traveling) on me and have no issues with self defense....My only comment to her when she speaks up with her concerns is "I'm insured and at least I'll go out fighting."
