My life is a Ruck March

[KCgirl061 1,533]

I work in surgery with a surgeon that is in the Army part time. He was telling us that he had a Ruck March coming up and that he wasn’t looking forward to it. A Ruck March, if you’re unfamiliar, is a training exercise where the soldiers have to load up their backpacks with all their gear totaling up to about 60 pounds or more and go on a run.(that’s a very dumbed down explaination but the best I could do)  As he was explaining it to all us nurses in the room several of them exclaimed they didn’t they could even stand to wear the heavy load, let alone run with it. They, of course, range from petite to normal sizes up to maybe a size 8 or 10. Except for me in my size 18 and I just thought... that’s my life. I DO carry around an extra 60-70 pounds of weight on my frame compared to them. That’s why I struggle to walk, run or exercise right now, just as they would should they throw on a ruck sack. I can’t wait to shed my ruck sack and be able to jog, run, Zumba without it on.
