4 mile ruck on a local trail, a bit slow today as I was listening to a podcast (Jocko Willink) on my phone speaker as I went. Then went to a flat area near a pavilion for some ruck PT.

First round: Burpees with ruck on back, overhead squats, ruck push-ups, and four count flutterkicks holding ruck above chest. 21-15-9 circuit, so 45 total reps of each.

Second round: Ruck thruster/touch bear crawl pyramid from 1 to 15. Do 1 thruster, then 4 touches on a bear crawl. Then do 2 and 8, 3 and 12, and so forth. Only made it to 13 before I ran out of time and had to head home. Total was 91 thrusters and 364 touches for bear crawls.

Incentive Training. 10 rounds of 3 minutes. Every 3 minutes, I did the following. I would then rest until the top of the next 3 minutes. It started as a 1:1 work/rest ratio but it was more like 2:1 by the end.

Rucksack Thrusters x10
Four Count Flutterkicks (holding ruck above chest) x10
Rucksack Overhead Squats x10
Four Count Hello Dollies (holding ruck above chest) x10

30# plate in rucksack. Total of 100 of each exercise. Ouch. As I so aptly told my wife, "I think I created a monster."

10 days out from the Mogadishu Mile GORUCK Tough. On my doc's orders, I could only do the Tough or Light, not both (he wants to see how my discs react after the Tough first).
