What Did You Do To Prepare This Week?

I went on a ruckmarch and had my first real week back at the weight pile. These things were both good and a bit humbling. I will strive to lift twice, run twice and ruck every week.

We did some used stuff hunting. I got a cute little cast iron pan (probably 2 egg size), and a cast iron griddle big enough for 2 small steaks or 1 huge one for 2 bucks a piece. Tried to talk the gal down to 3 total without success. After washing and some maybe unnecessary curing they are both ready to go.

Also I ordered a Shellback Tactical Banshee Rifle Plate carrier, a Blackhawk Chest Rig, and a Condor Double Kangaroo mag pouch. I have no affiliation with LA Police Gear, they just had all the stuff I was looking for at competitive prices.

Anyway that is what I did this week? What did you do to prepare this week?

I ran for the first time in a few weeks since my broken toe feels better. Everything hurt but the toe, but I pushed on.
It's amazing how much endurance and form you can lose in a couple of weeks.

Bought some of the back-up cheap (but critical) little components of my GOOD carbine that I've always meant to stock up on. The ones I know are critical to its operation, but I never bought becaue they haven't faied me (yet).

I hope you got the 11% off at LAPG for their 4th of July sale.

I kind of figured they'd run one and just ordered a bunch of kit myself. AIMPOINT PROs for $365 + free shipping? Yes please!

@Max, Good times.

@Snoop, Very important.

@Chris, FML I did not. That is a good deal.

Sorry :(

LAPG can be counted on to run sales on all major patriotic holidays (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Veterans Day, etc). They usually have something for winter festivus as well. Usually at least 10% off.
