Had a last-minute opportunity pop up this past week here in NC to go for my first SILVER Norwegian Foot March Badge. Sadly, I missed it by 9 minutes. Knocking out 18.6 miles with a 30lb pack (need to trim this down) and only 3 days advanced notice was a great test though. NEXT TIME! For those that don't know what this is, check out this site: https://www.forsvaret.no/.../courses.../norwegian-foot-march I earned my BRONZE back in 2024 and my ultimate goal is to earn the GOLD before I'm 50... It takes multiple successful completions spread out over at least 5 years to get it. (Pic 1 May 26)

The Wolf Pack was out in force back in February! They had teams in MN, TX, and IL with some members doing the challenge multiple times. Outstanding job! (Pic 1 Feb 26)

Maj Tyler Freeman crushed the March challenge multiple times over back on the 27th. He completed 26.2 miles as part of a collective remote effort to honor those who were in the original 1942 Bataan Death March. (Pic 1 Mar 2026)
I never know what will come out of the mouth of my almost 13 year old when we hit the trails to knock out the monthly challenges. So many random stories and thoughts. Haha! (March 2026)
The Wolf Pack continued their 3 state domination (TX, IL, and MN) in January! Keep up the great work! (Pic 1 Jan 26)

Back in December, Martha and Jorge Ortiz from the Wolf Pack took the monthly challenge to heart and attended a local Wreaths Across America event in IL. Way to get out there in the cold and snow! (Dec 25 Pic 3)
The Wolf Pack had a busy November! Not only did they knock out the challenge, but they held their awards ceremony for those that got after it in 2025.
