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.
