First ruck!

I wanted to share my first ruck attempt with you all since I don't have many people to talk to about my Army prep. I managed 4 miles in 44 minutes with 25lbs, keeping a fast walk and shuffling the downhills. I’m so grateful for the advice & community in this subreddit—I wouldn't have known where to start without you guys. While it’s a bit humbling that this is only 15% slower than my run time, I’m just happy to be making progress. Thanks for the support! Here's to always striving to improvement.
