"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Very strong Steady state ruck.
Well this was a nice surprise. The strongest and best ruck I've had in months. Literally. Legs and glutes felt loose from the start and there was none of this, 'pick up each leg of every step for two hours straight'.
The time just flew by. It didn't hurt that after a nice day of 108 degree heat here yesterday that the am was overcast and had a slight breeze. Airflow makes everything better. Dead hot muggy air just sucks. It's like I'm trying to breathe through a wet cotton ball.
And I have no idea why this happened. Pure serendipity. but I'll take it. So nice to be reminded that this can actually happen.
Wasn't going to time anything but I did the last lap and came up with 7:08 with no problem. That's the kind of day it was.
Hope this is a foreboding for tomorrow's press workout
