*Did you know Teddy Roosevelt was F3 material? President Theodore Roosevelt was known to be an advocate of physical fitness and regularly engaged in outdoor activities such as hiking and horseback riding. Even as president, he was active enough to put much younger people to shame. “While in the White House,” Roosevelt wrote, “I always tried to get a couple of hours’ exercise in the afternoons.” A couple hours a day! As president! The occasionally sore Theodore Roosevelt, who chose the “strenuous life”—playing tennis or taking cold swims in Rock Creek or the Potomac? Even when he was injured (for instance, he lost sight in one eye from a boxing incident while president. He as also the inspiration for the GoRuck 50 Mile Star Course. He reportedly encouraged members of the military to participate in long hikes to promote physical fitness and discipline. One famous example of this was in 1913, when Roosevelt led a group of soldiers on a “50-mile hike” from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore in just 20 hours. The hike was meant to demonstrate the importance of physical fitness and the need for soldiers to be in top condition. **
