Nuove storie

Over the past 14 years, I’ve participated in triple-digit GORUCK events, both as a participant and/or organizer. I consider all of these events worthwhile, with several that I would call life-changing, and two of which I would classify as perfect....

When it comes to motivation, few embody the spirit of reinvention like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The man has continually redefined himself, transforming from a small-town boy in Austria into a world-class bodybuilder, the iconic Mr. Olympia, a blockbuster movie star, the...

The Mercy Rule (also known by the lesser names of the Slaughter, Knockout, or Skunk Rule) is a concept familiar to kids, parents, and coaches across the nation. My seven-year-old knows what it means, even if it only exists in...

It’s hard to believe it’s been seven months since I first wrote about the dozens of proposed public school closures in my hometown — a list that included my children’s well-attended and beloved Atlantic Beach Elementary. The news of these...

“The support was great. I knew they were the shoe to wear for a test like this. I've been wearing the GORUCK trainer on and off since the first rendition came out and recognized it immediately for being an overbuilt,...

Fun facts: The Eiffel Tower was built a couple years prior to the 1889 Exposition Universelle to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. It’s no secret that initial reviews of Gustave Eiffel’s innovative design were mixed; and by...

And yet for all the talk of budgets and numbers, I think what I’m trying to express goes beyond the numbers and our human attempts to live and work and learn together. What value do we place on a neighbor, whose own children have left the nest, painting a tire swing with words of encouragement and love for all who pass by? How does one nurture a student, a family, a school, a community? How do we continue to weave the social fabric of our locally-led lives? 

It’s tough to accept when you are wrong. 

For the past decade, Jason and I have gone round and round about solo screen time for our kids. I argue there is a time and place for it; he wants to banish their iPads to the dumpster. What about when we are trapped in an airport or car with them on long trips? Or when they’ve been playing outside all day and it starts raining and we all want a break? He shrugs and says a version of “it’s a slippery slope and I don’t like it.”

By Gordon Meehl When I say that rucking literally saved my life, I mean just that. There’s no hyperbole in my statement. If not for my regular rucking program, the likely reality would have been that I would have ceased...

By Chad Belger I’m Chad Belger and I’ve been an alcoholic since I was 13 years old. I’ve spent the majority of my life not giving a shit if I lived or died. One night about 4 years ago I...

I’ve known Michael Welborn since 2017. When I founded DFW Rucking Crew, he had already begun establishing Green Country Ruckers so we exchanged a lot of ideas and best practices as we both got our clubs operational. So when Michael...

By Emily McCarthy I once knew a guy in college who dove so deep into an intro level philosophy class that he told me he was going to read chapters from Plato’s Republic to his future children. He planned to...

Two years ago right now I was out of sorts. Stressed out, you might say. COVID had suited me just fine, actually — the more chaos around, the calmer I get. I was sleeping fine until I wasn’t. Two years...

Borsa singola da viaggio Da Caitlin, progettista tecnico GORUCK 1 - Metti in valigia solo ciò di cui hai bisogno e la stratificazione è la chiave Per i successivi 5 giorni, sono passato dalla spiaggia insolitamente calda di Jacksonville, in...

Di Cameron Brackett Il 10 gennaio 2021 ho completato una corsa di 10 miglia. Tre giorni dopo, il 13 gennaio, mi sono seduto nell'aula d'esame del mio ematologo e mi è stato detto che ho la leucemia mieloide acuta (AML)....
