I am going to start posting these daily. If you do something post what you did as a reply. Hopefully this will give others a some ideas to shake things up a bit, and get going.
I started by placing my AR and Rig with 4 magazines (loaded with 2 dummy rounds per mag) in my garage and then doing some basic stretches for about 5 minutes. I took off from my house, jogging at a moderate pace towards the local park to continue the jog for at least 30 minutes. Running the trails mixes things up a bit, so the run seems a bit more enjoyable. I walked for 1 minute at about each 10 minute mark, making sure my "breaks" began at the bottom of a hill. I've plotted the trails so I can run a loop and end up popping out of the woods close to my house. Finishing my jog at my garage I threw my rig on and began cycling the magazines through my rifle. Loading and correcting the "malfunctions" of the dummy rounds. Once all four have been ran through and a quick reloading of the scattered dummy rounds occur, I change firing sides and begin the load/clear malfunction/reload drill again.
I don't care how good you are at this, it's a scientific fact that motor skills and ability to make decisions becomes impaired with an elevated heart rate (especially when your heart is at or above 170 BPM).
