Time to start ratcheting up the mileage... Goal for this ruck sesh yesterday was 6 miles minimum... It was an overcast day, but temps weren't too bad, very pleasant for rucking actually.
Let's get to steppin'...
This is the same creek from my last rucking session, but a bridge further to the west...
Hmmm.... I need to get to the other side of the metro tracks without touching the third rail....
Ah ha! That'll do! Complete with graffiti so you know its edgy...
For some reason I felt the urge to walk a little more quickly going through here...
Moving on and heading back toward the East again, I passed by the George Washington Masonic Memorial... I've never actually been inside, but its one of the taller buildings in the area.
Its been fun to watch this building getting torn down and now cleaned up. I'm curious what will be taking it's place.
Made it back down to the Potomac... On the final 1/4 of the journey give or take!
But First Another Tunnel!
This is an old small gauge railroad tunnel... I might do a more detailed post about the history some other time...
Halfway there! I didn't set out on this ruck to go through two tunnels, that's just how my feet ended up wandering!
Under I495 and I'll be on the home stretch that I showed you all last week!
Total mileage was 6.7 miles in 1 hour 52 minutes...
So far doing good with just about 2.5 months until my 50 mile event!
