No workout. Gonna do some stretching and get my stuff together for tonight. 24-hr HN starts at 11pm tonight and goes to 11pm Saturday night.
The last time I did this, things went pretty smoothly. It was well designed and stayed away from doing anything very dangerous. We did a ton of walking... a ton. Probably 15-20 miles of walking on hard NYC sidewalks with a weighted pack plus a weight vest at times. That was the hardest aspect of the last one, it mentally digs away at you when every footstep hurts. I expect to be very sore in feet and hip flexors, maybe in the knees as well.
I'm going to try to keep all my toenails this time, I've lost 4 since the January HN exercise, probably all of which were a result of my socks being too thick for my boots and therefore putting pressure on my toes. I plan to only wear sneakers this time.
One aspect I'd like to pay attention to and improve upon this time is "staying in it" mentally: After 22 hours or so my mind starts saying, "ok you've gone far enough, now cruise til the end." This time I want to have my head in the game the entire time. I also got irritable towards the end of the January one, I need to stay in control of my emotion.
