Sorry for not posting more. At the end of this week I'll be 23 weeks out from Selection. I'm under 220lbs, right about 216. My goal was 215 by this point, so I'm not too disappointed. I ran 8 miles yesterday and felt fine, although my pace biker got a bit tired going up Mudlick Hollow. I don't blame him, I did too.This Sunday will be my first test, the Pitt 1/2 marathon. I'm not going for a certain time, just putting in the miles. To me, it's just another training run. The next goal after this will be GORUCK Heavy in Pitt. The goal there is to be at 200lbs and running as close to as possible to my 5 mile goal, and rucking 12 under 2:30.
After this weekend I'll amp up the speed work and ruck weight to help make that happen.
I have found having intermediate goals helpful to keeping Selection in sight. It's so easy to have a long-range goal and assume you have time because it's 5 months away, but in the words of Steve Miller, " Time keeps on slipp'n".
