Conditions: Dawn was upon me as 0525 approached. It was a clear and cold start to the morning with a temperature of 32 degrees with a moderate wind.
“Thang:” The time was changed for the Ruck from 0530 to 0525 to allow me to drive to the Grill for a beatdown with Beaker to support his site and return to live workouts in the gloom. The ruck followed the typical route, but ended at the top South Mountain Drive at mailbox number 4090 at 0555. To make up time, I ran with my 25# ruck sack all the way back to The Hive in 20 minutes ending the ruck in 50 minutes and covering 3.9 miles. Because I was solo, I spent my time up to the turnaround praying to God and sharing what was on my heart and praying for others. On the way down, in between breaths, I was singing His praises.
