I found GORUCK through my work a couple years ago but wasn’t motivated to participate. I signed up for an event with my boss but didn’t even make it to start the Welcome Party. I did not train and didn’t even try. However, it always bothered me.

Last year I lost two family members which hit me pretty damn hard and I fell into a depression. I started getting miles in to get out of the house and immediately felt better. I even started feeling the rush of endorphins during my rucks. Once I started recording single rucks above 20 miles I began understanding more about myself and the city I was rucking in.
