One third complete!
I did a Street Parking workout in the morning. Then we did other things and was out in the cold checking out the Art Shanty Project. It was tempting to just come home and relax into the couch. But I went out with 20# pack and did this week’s Tribe ‘N Training Ruck workout. My legs said I’ve done too much squatting! But it was a good extra challenge.
My sister and her husband are in town. After work we went on a walk around the lake for my 2nd workout. It was a nice night and we saw the pretty sunset. I had left my phone at home so no pic! But it was a nice way to catch up with them.
The January book for Ruck’s Tribe and Training group is Tribe by Sebastian Junger. Below is from the introduction:
I had to stop and go back for this pic on my way to work this morning! It had changed a little in the time it took me to stop and walk back. I loved the colors of the skyline and the lightening of the sky with the first light.
We made it to Friday! And a long weekend.
For my afternoon walk I switched it up and loaded a pack with my 12# vest and 2 – 10# plates. 32 pounds on my shoulders and back felt a lot different than just the vest! It was harder to get through the whole time but I made it the 2 miles!
For my second workout I’ve been walking with a 12lb vest. I got the vest from Aldi a few years ago. It works! I really want a plate carrier vest, but those are pricey! A few times in the past I’ve put the vest and some weights in a pack and done that when I’ve wanted heavier.
Today I completed a Go Ruck Tribe workout with the vest under a light snow. I was walking through a random neighborhood so it was a little weird to stop and do squats and lunges in the middle of the road. But I like how it mixed up the walking a little bit.
