The last few days it feels like all I do is wake up, work, workout, eat, sleep rinse and repeat. What a week it has been. Glad it's Friday, even though I am not done yet.All I have to say is TGIF! Yesterday, down on the Music City Bike Way nearly killed me. Due to the heat and fatigue, by the time I got home I was spent. As we crossed over the pedestrian bridge Ivan marked his 100.1 miles done, must be a revealing feeling, I wouldn't know. I still have over 12 more miles before I count the chickens.

I tried a different pair of socks and shoes than normal, and regret it. About 6.5 miles into the ruck I started developing a hot spot on my left ball. I kept a close eye on it , but nothing ever came of it. If we would have gone much further I believe it would had taken me down. Make note to never do that before a challenge and to make a foot care pack.
Of course, we started the ruck without a plan, which makes for an interesting, fun ruck. Whats really nice about these expeditions are, you discover things and areas you would otherwise have not. We made our way around Capitol Hill and down into Bicentennial park. I have lived in Nashville for almost 2 years and never been through the park. It was amazing to see history of WWII monuments, with the granite globe and the amphitheater that lies in the middle of the city. We covered 9.0 miles in 2:57:00 with an average pace of 19:40. Tomorrow, will be a busy day. Better get some rest!
