Do I hear a cosmic snicker?

I guess the best way to capture my life at the moment is to describe what I'm about to start. As part of my training for basic and SF, I need to do ruck marches. So, starting this week, that'll be at least 2 3 mile marches in 45 minutes with a 30-lbs pack. By the time I leave for GA, it'll be around 18 miles in 4ish hours in a 50 lbs pack (yeah...).

The thing is, I don't own much of anything. I basically own clothes (which I need clean and unwrinkled for work), my workout stuff (which is a little hard to both carry and wear simultaneously), and books.

the obvious solution, of course, is to put the books in the rucksack. That ought to weight it down considerably. And the fun is just beginning ... m

That's the snicker part. It's quintessentially me that my weight training and ruck marching involves carrying around 40 lbs of books.
