Survivalist burnout

[ToddDubya]

I thank you all for your advice.

I'm trying to take this on a long low and slow increase.

A few winters back I came into work and announced that " I did a chin-up yesterday." And my coworkers gave me the expected razzing and mockery. ( I knew & expected it was coming ).

On Friday I announced Id done two of them. More mockery.
six weeks later I announced i had done 25 chin-ups. No body laughed at that.

That's the way I'm approaching this walking/jogging/rucking/running thing. ... Slow and deliberate.

I did the same thing. I went from being able to do 0 pullups in a row to my high of 18. I think I even got to 15 with 45# hanging from my waist. My goal was 20 but I hurt my bicep and was shut down for about 6 months. In retrospect it was a good thing because my back got so wide my shirts weren't fitting anymore. Moderation is my weak suit.
