I added the pack tonight mostly on a whim. I had spent a bit of time getting the weight about right. I'm adding about 4 pounds each week. After getting the weight right, I spent time adjusting the waist belt and shoulder and chest straps. Since I was already wearing it, I figured I'd go ahead and do the session that way. I'm glad I did. I need more time getting used to carrying the weight. This will likely drag my pace down as I add weight.

I wasn't sure about making the distance about halfway through, but then things felt better. Now, I feel great.
