David Hutchinson’s Reviews > Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds > Status Update

Goggins runs a marathon then trains for a month to run hurt 100 in Hawaii. His first trail race. His camel bag broke at mile 6 so he relied on the aid stations.
I have a headache from today. Need rest.

Ch.6 Goggins running his first 100-miler. It explains why he was doing it, for his Warrior Foundation to run Badwater 135 ultimately, but Chris Kostman wasn't having it with Goggins and made him run these ultras with no training to sign up for Badwater. Goggins ran 101 miles to make sure he finished 100 miles under 24H, in 18H 56M. Explains the worst tragedy in seal history after Goggins completed parachute school.

The instructors tried to get back at Goggins by beating him even more with his fractured knee. Goggins ended up medically discharged, then took the train home and got back with Pam and got her prignate. Goggins had to report back to BUDs, but for his final attempt. His knee was still fucked, but both were fractured. Goggins took it easy and developed the armor mindset to get through and graduate BUDs class of 235

Breaks down Goggins' Hell Week experience, rolled back due to medical reasons. He did phase one of BUDS again and encouraged his team to be the best they could be. Afterward, Goggins' knee was still fucked up after a week of rest, now starting underwater knots. Goggins goes over the Taking Souls challenge.

No recruiter wanted to work with him, but one did. David started losing weight and studying for the ASVAB. He passed and submitted his application to join SEALs. He left his wife, Pam.

David was kicked out of the house for staying out at a party, then came home broke, mom telling him he was failing school.

The story starts with the devil, David's dad, and the family suffering; mom and the sons escape from dad. Older brother goes back to dad. David and Mom try to fix their lives, but still face heavy setbacks. David starts struggling in school and faces racism. Mom was about to get married to a new good man, but was murdered.

Just wrapped up “Leadership Strategy and Tactics” field manual by Jocko Willink.
I have already read “Can't Hurt Me” by David Goggins about a year or two ago in Greece.
I wish to complete the “Staff Shelves” reading challenge by reading one of the staff recommendations between July 1 and Sept. 14.
Challenge accepted.
This is my all-time favorite book.
I need a refresher.
