WX at 1000: 28 (-2) DP 24 (-4) BP 29.89 (1012) NW 8 light snow RH 86

Odometer B1: 28mi

Z2-3.

The weather conditions outside made it unsafe to walk at any legitimate speed, so I had to slow down.

I had two good wipeouts. The first happened walking downhill. The second happened, and I honestly think I would have cracked my head open had I not had my ruck or body armor on. I wasn't wearing a helmet, but I need to recheck my ruck to make sure I didn't break anything when I landed on it trying to kill myself.

It is surprising how little snivel gear I need to wear when I'm roadmarching with body armor on. I had a sweatshirt, pants, and gloves, and nothing else.

I was in a singularly shitty mood this morning when I started, so I knew I was going to finish the road march dead or alive. It was a matter of time when, but I frankly didn't fucking care how shitty the weather got. It's been a while since I roadmarched in snow flurries.

One of the gifts I received this x-moose was the box set for My So-Called Life. It, then makes sense to think of this quotation, that "Hatred can become like food. It gives you this energy. You can, like, live off it." Curiously appropriate, I think.
