Tomorrow (I wrote this text on the 5th of July, 2025), I will be able to do rucking in scorching heat. Will I take advantage of this opportunity? I do not think so.
Does it mean you are afraid of scorching heat?
Undoubtedly, you could ask me, my Dear Friend. Yes and no. Yes, because I think I am afraid of high temperatures more than freezing ones. Thus, I see walking with an additional weight of 37.5 kg (83 lbs) as a highly demanding sports activity. Undoubtedly, it would hurt, and my www.adammazek.com t-shirt would be completely wet after such a walk. Still, I am not afraid of walking and rucking in scorching heat, because I see this opportunity as a tremendous challenge to test how far I can go, both physically and mentally. What is my endurance limit?
I do not know, but I want to check it.
Does it mean I will do it tomorrow? I do not think so. My muscles hurt too much after yesterday’s rucking. I think I had a too-long break (four days) for providing myself the heaviest load I’ve ever managed to have on my body (above-mentioned 37.5 kg). I think my muscles would not be able to carry such a weight tomorrow. Thus, I think I will have to wait for the next heatwave. I hope I won’t have such sore muscles during the next couple of weeks. Does it all mean I won’t go take some pictures on Warsaw’s streets tomorrow?
I think I will be able to walk, but without a heavy rucksack on my back and shoulders. Thus, I plan to do street photography as usual, because I do not think that sore muscle prevents me from walking and taking pictures of mundane reality. Or… maybe I will ruck, but with light weight? I do not know, it all depends on how I feel tomorrow. Good night, my Dear Friend.
