Conditions: It was a mostly cloudy start to the ruck with some sun peeking through to provide a pink hue to the sky with a temperature in the 61 degrees.
YHC posted for the ruck with a 25# ruck sack.
“Thang:” I departed from the Shimerville Rd parking lot at 0531 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 the South Mountain Dog Training Facility 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. 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 band for most of the descent.
