For the love of rucking...

Hey everyone, glad to be here! Started rucking mid '23 after reading "The Comfort Crisis" and listening to Peter Attia. I'm 60 and looking for longevity! I started with an old Gold's Gym 20 lb adjustable weight vest. Wanted to make sure I liked it before spending money. Believe I started with 8 pounds and slowly increased by 2 pounds. A few months ago I picked up a RUSH 12 from 5.11 along with 20 and 10 pound plates. I'm now doing 33 lbs including the pack on 4 mile rucks(3-4 times per week) in the regional park near my house. My normal pace is around 13.5 mins per mile and there is a total of 500 ft vertical on the route. Happy to join this online community and looking to join a local community here in San Diego as well.

PS: Just read the contest rules and I'll enter on Thursday, don't really like taking selfies but for a GoRuck plate carrier...I'm in.
