11th July, 2002. 8:28 pm. Hike #5

Distance: 8 miles
Elevation Change: 1150 ft
Time of Day: 1630
Temperature: 70-75F
Humidity: 75
Water Consumed: 30 ozs
Weight: 60 lbs
Time: 2 hours 35 minutes (including stairs)

Well 60 lbs felt like a feather after tuesdays debacle...for all of about 1/2 mile i suppose. then it was back to the same old same old.

This ruck march was *tiring*. Doing PT this morning, working all day, THEN moving out for 8 miles...yeah that's different.

I got on the stair climber at the gym and I couldn't do any more than fifty flights at the middle setting (i don't do patterns of hills or anything...i just get on and continue at an incline) before I had to stop for a couple minutes. Even after that I couldn't do any more than another fifty flights. I *wanted* to do twice that but I was pushing my limits as it was. At least now I have a goal to shoot for. Before today I hadn't been beaten myself down badly enough to miss my target.
