   Challenging myself to ruck at least a mile a day. 2nd day completed (and Garmin servers are up!). Rucking has started to shape my perspective on how I set goals and how I plan to achieve them. I’m hoping to take that same mindset and apply that to learning new skills and to continue to pursue infosec knowledge.

     @chmod777 Powerlifting did the same thing for me. Setting goals, understanding how progress isn't always linear, persistence, being kind to yourself, etc. all came out of trying to hit a 1000 lb. total.

     @horse Thanks and I absolutely agree with you. Also, you’re in the 1000lb club!? Nice! When I was in the Navy, one of the bases I was assigned to started a 1000lb club at the base gym and it was constantly packed. But it somehow motivated all of us to create lifting plans and stick to a scheduled regime.

     I guess it taught us persistence is key. It’s incredible how something seemingly difficult can motivate us to do more and try harder.

     @chmod777 Heck yah!

     I had an 1190 total until about 4 months ago when I had to take a break due to a couple small hernias. I just started lifting again on Sep 22. Current total: 225 (for 15 reps of each exercise). :(
