4+ mile woods ruck. Good to get out. I’ve got the 15k Salem GoRuck event next week. I’ve only had a few rucks over 8 miles this year so I don’t think I’ll be competitive. Should be a fun time.

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch THEY LIVE (1988).
A subversive science-fiction satire, Carpenter's antiestablishment classic boasts one of the greatest fight scenes ever, as well as Piper's immortal line: "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."

Local woods ruck. Great time of year since there’s no bugs and it’s still dry out. Didn’t make great time but it was good to get out.

Is Amazon serious with this? They can fuck all the way off. Returning.
Yes, my fault for not ordering from somewhere local.

RFK Jr. went on Fox News today to claim that HHS has had “no successes” in the past 40 years.
I beg to differ.

Vegan steak and eggs at Veggie Galaxy in Cambridge. The yolks have the right consistency and taste good. I would get this again after trying a few more items on the menu

6+ mile ruck to the farmer’s market and back. I kept an eye on the pace and managed negative splits with 40# and a big hill on the last mile.
I pass this fence decorated with the very hungry caterpillar which is near the elementary school.

MAGA thinks this won't hurt Americans. Wrong. Many poor American students are able to enroll for free because many international students are able to pay full rates. This attack is petty, dictatorial, vindictive, and makes America stupider.

Perfect weather for a woods ruck. The trails are still a little muddy from the heavy rain this week so it was a little slower pace than usual. 10+ miles with 20# in the Rucker.

Overtime for the Celtics. Disappointed we let it get to this.

Nice day for a ruck in the woods. Another 4+ miles towards the 250 mile goal. I’m on pace to only needing <1 mile a day which is doable. Only had 20# in the Rucker.

Johnson, VT is my favorite town in all of Vermont. The community is unlike anything I’ve ever encountered. This video came up on my FYP - they moved the library because it was flooded twice! Jaw dropping ingenuity in the face of climate change.

Chipping away at my 250 mile goal. Two laps for 9+ miles. I missed negative splits but the second lap was faster than the first.

Light snow at Battle Road but that’s better than rain. 5+ miles with 40# and close to negative splits except for the stretch of boardwalk where we had to slow down since it was slippery.
