I once ran 18 miles, in full combat gear in a thunderstorm in under 2.5 hours. Jungle boots and Army socks. When I was finished I rang my socks out in blood, yes blood, I did complete the mission.
8:20 min miles with around 100+ lbs plus rain water for 18 miles.

OK......I'll be honest here......I'm impressed.



(and here I am thinking 12 miles in 180min is pretty good)
(give me a minutes while I open up my personal goals document and make some changes )
