Only way to be the heat and humidity is getting out there early! Solo Q at Morning Wood for YHC started with rucking the perimeter loop walking track which is now painted brightly green. There’s been a lot going on of late, and the quiet time rucking with Jesus created space for some good mental mumble chatter. Ended up thinking about how I hadn’t run in a while and the green loop track could be a nice distance to set a Base time with my Garmin. Rucked back to the truck and ditched the bag. Garmin set to go. Two laps completed for 1.43mi total, with a mile time of about 7:40 and VO2 Max at 53. Not bad, but despite great efforts to monitor my stride and keep the Right foot pushing properly off my right Great toe, my IT Band pain still started up pretty quick, about a mile into it. Well, at least now I have a base to compare to in future. ~DTH
