Ruck and run — The 1 mile hill challenge

1 Mile Hill Challenge. The PAX got in 4+ miles of epic hill repeats.

Over the years I have been fascinated with longevity studies. Love reading books on learning from those who live healthy active lives well into their golden years. This week in a book I’m reading I learned about “forest bathing,” surrounding yourselves with trees. Just 30 minutes in the woods produces a lasting impact. Lowers your cortisol levels and increases activity of natural killer cells (one of the ways our body fights off cancer).  Made me think of all the wonderful things we’re achieving together while playing in the woods.  We’re improving our fitness, we’re fighting off cancer, reducing inflammation, and so much more (super long list of benefits).
