Pushing yourself to the limit

One of my favorite bloggers, and the one who gave me that pivotal link that pushed my numbers beyond zero per day, is Rich, at Beef always wins. He started blogging during his tour of duty in Iraq, where he wrote fascinating posts both about his own experiences and about his take on issues of the day. He then went home and lapsed into domesticity — or so I thought.

As Rich’s first post since April reveals, he was not lolling around the house, mowing the lawn. Instead, Rich attended the incredibly rigorous U.S. Army Rangers School, an experience he blogs about here. If you haven’t already bookmarked Rich’s site, I really recommend that you do so, especially because a comment he left on my blog indicates that (if he keeps blogging) he’ll be doing so from Korea — and that should be really interesting.
