Today is the
Sabbath as practiced by most. I worship on Sundays and spend a great deal of
time teaching Sunday school and worshiping with my church family.
Unfortunately,
I find it hard to relax. I like to be outside and exercise. This could be grabbing
a rake and bagging leaves, pushing a lawnmower or going for a walk followed by
wrestling the kids. However, it is a rainy but warm Sunday, so I grabbed my backpack
instead.
Stuffed with
40 pounds of odds and ends I set about the rolling hills of my neighborhood at
a brisk pace for about 2.4 miles. At times I mixed by either jogging or running
sprints (or just jogging as I could). This exercises the core and helps build
strength and endurance.
Ruck marching
reminded me of my days as a soldier. I often hated the many years of humping a
back pack and personal weapon through rain soaked woods. But you can’t beat the
benefits and the nostalgia was one of them…Huah!
