08.07:13: Day 7 of Run 1M

Woke up this morning and felt 100x better. Today, is going to be the half-marathon ruck. I started a little early and covered 6 miles before meeting up with Ivan. The ruck weights in at 55 lbs, which is a monster to haul around.

Just went with it

I am surprised that I have not been stopped and asked, "What are you doing?" I assume they think I am just homeless. I thought it was only appropriate since it was Wednesday aka "Hump Day" to actually ruck some! I started at 4:00 pm and kept going into the night. It was a long day and didn't get home until around 10:00pm. Just that much closer to the end. By completing the half marathon I am eligible for an additional random reward. 

Less than 3 hours, not bad.

Walked down to the Nature Center at Shelby Bottoms and then made my way back towards Downtown, Nashville. At Cumberland Park I met up with Ivan, and we made our way up to Music Row and down to Belmont. On our way back over Korean Veterans Blvd. I hit my 13.1. Here we stopped and I took a picture and reset my clock. It took 3:52:42 to complete that distance with a Ruck #55 averaging a pace of 17:46.  We ended up covering another 2.1 miles by the time going around LP Field and back into Cumberland Park. I am going to add this distance to my 50 miler.

Ready to hit the sack
