Just run

Four miles with 55 lbs.

Mile 1 - 18:38.13    18:45.54

Mile 2 - 18:20.76   18:31.24 = 1 hr 14:15

With 9/10 of a mile left to go, there was a walker with a little dog.  He met me at the top of the hill as I finished the ascent, waved at me, and walked back the way he had come.  I tried to catch him, but he was simply faster.  I'm saving my knees for the real race, but I'll try to catch him again should I see him again.

36 minutes on the elliptical at level 5.  I've got to remember to convert lbs to kilos for that specific machine.  Covered about 3K.  Feels about right.  I can cover a mile in about 18 to 19 minutes when walking, but the elliptical just makes you feel so much faster even though you are going the same pace.

Cool down with 25 pushups and 25 situps.  Just not feeling it today.  Better to get something in then nothing.  Who knew that a mere 25 could be a challenge?

55 lb ruck for four miles.  Two miles out and two miles back.  One hour and 5 minutes.  We had to stop for about 3 minutes because one guy went down with an ankle sprain.  He stepped on a rock, the rock rolled and his ankle followed.  Thankfully, it was just a sprain.
