Training Day

Today was the second day of training with a weighted backpack. The backpack used was the Supernova 85 (85 liter) weighted to 41 pounds.

I walked a little over 3 miles with an elevation gain of 600 feet from 5,400 feet to 6,000. This was harder than I originally thought. I didn't struggle in the least with endurance. I did however experience back pain as a result of a car accident in the seventh grade. Most of my pain was in my shoulders, I had no problem finishing the walk and after a short break without the pack my shoulders recovered. This gives me great hope that my back will not handicap me from achieving my dreams.

Spring trips are coming fast. I can't wait

I have to give thanks to Mrs. Hardesty. I wouldn't have started this blog if it weren't for her inspiration. Thanks.
