Conditions: It was a sunny and humid start with a temperature of 71 degrees.
YHC posted for the ruck with a 25# ruck sack after a week of feeling ill and recovering from dehydration.
“Thang:” I departed from the Shimerville Rd parking lot at 0530 and walked east onto PA Ave. I made a right onto 12th street followed by a left onto Arch St. I trekked through Chestnut Hill Rodale Park to 10th St. I climbed 10th St/South Mountain Dr to about 200 yards short of South Mountain Dog Training Center before the 0600 alarm sounded to turn around and repeat the route back to the ‘Hive’ with six minutes to spare before the start of the beatdown. YHC was recovering from a week of dehydration and it showed in performance. Total distance covered was 3.2 miles.
It was a great time for YHC to have mumble chatter with the Sky Q with intimate prayer and praise for a few things on my heart and to ask some questions in search of wisdom to discern the answers to be provided. YHC then listened to his favorite tunes on the descent.
