Last night 3mi with 38lb ruck, picking the hilliest spot I have nearby and looping up and down that. Average pace was high 16-minute mile. Not EIB standard, but not bad given the hills and my knees....

Tonight 2-mile interval run with 6-8 mins walking before and after followed by copious stretching.


I can read a cook book and gain weight, btw. I can watch the food network and gain weight. If I look at one of the recipes my wife finds on Pinterest, I'll gain weight. Don't even have to eat it, just look at it! I'm 40 this spring and it is already harder than it used to be to slim down and tone up.
