Marine Buddy Challenge
This morning I ran in the Marine Buddy Challenge with a friend of mine—it was tough but fun. It entails running a 5K on hilly trails with 10% of your body weight strapped to your back, then doing as many sit-ups as you can in one minute and as many push-ups as you can in one minute (with the pack on). Then they turn on a stop watch for carrying your buddy 30 yards, then doing 25 jumping jacks with your pack on, then lifting your pack over your head 50 times, then 25 more jumping jacks, then carrying your buddy back 30 yards. Marines periodically yelled at everyone during all these events. Proceeds went to a scholarship fund for Marines who want to go to college after they leave the service.
That’s me doing a push-up and carrying my buddy. I’m going to be sore tomorrow.

Puts my 30 minutes on the elliptical this morning to shame. Congrats.
Kudos!
It was a blast! Are you planning on doing the next race in this series, it is in May and is at the white water rafting center! If you like this kind of workout, check out my boot camp in Harrisburg. www.empoweredfitness.net
Looks like fun, but why do Marines need scholarship money when they have the GI Bill?
