| Legs felt a bit like Jell-O tonight. |
On Wednesday nights since my Bataan training began, I have been going to a boat ramp in my neighborhood for the mid-week hill work. We have a boat ramp about a mile from our house, and it allows me to get about 200 yards of fairly steep "hill" work. On a typical Wednesday night I usually spend about 90 minutes going up and down the boat ramp. Boring? Yes, but the training is good. Any person that I've been able to contact that had success at the
Bataan Memorial Death March has said to use the hills
. I went to hit it tonight like always, but the old legs just weren't quite as frisky as they usually are. I think that since I rucked on Sunday this last week instead of on Saturday like I usually do, I simply didn't give my legs enough rest. Instead of going up and down the ramp for 90 minutes, it was cut down to one hour. No harm done, I just have to let the legs rest a bit. I'll take a rest day tomorrow, and then stretch real good on Friday in preparation for my 21 mile ruck that is planned for Saturday.
On a positive note, my legs have not had to carry around as much body weight as they use to. Thanks to the
Advocare 24 Day Challenge that I've been doing, yours truly has eaten "clean" for 21 days in a row with no cheats. I've not even been tempted to hit the Blue Bell that I do love so much. It can wait. I'm down over 10 pounds now, and can honestly say that the Advocare plan works. I'm a believer.
Hope your week is going well. Be strong and stay in the "Arena". Keep fighting.
