Wednesday

Wanted to do a ruck march today, but I wanted to try to catch up on sleep as well.  Decided to push the ruck march to the afternoon.

Got out to the forest a little after 1pm.  Since the last few times I've done 5-6mi on a moderate trail pretty easily, I decided to do 4mi on the hardest trail in the forest.  Brought along the 10lbs hand-weight that my neighbor helped build.  Its to simulate having to carry a 10lbs rifle.  10lbs sounds like nothing, but now that I know what its like to hold it for over an hour, ugh, it sucks.  Total distance was 4.22mi, and finished it in around 1:17.  I'm not too worried about the time, there are some tremendous hills on that trail, and having the extra 10lbs definitely takes a toll.
