The Thang:

We rucked through North Oak Park today. The men, determined and unwavering, with their rucksacks tightly secured, pressed forward through the streets.

They took on a challenge, a merkin ladder, that tested their endurance and strength. Rucking a block, they increased the number of merkins by one each time until they reached the daunting number of 12. The sweat on their brows and the heaviness of their rucksacks only served to fuel their determination.

As they made their way back home, they were faced with yet another test of their fortitude. The Big Bois ladder, as they called it, was a true test of willpower. Again rucking a block, they increased the number of merkins by one, each time pressing onward until they reached 12.

But these men were no strangers to adversity. They faced the challenge head-on, with strength and grace, proving themselves capable of anything they set their minds to. For them, the ruck was not just a physical feat, but a mental one as well – a reminder that the greatest battles are often fought within ourselves.
