In my eyes it doesn’t make much sense to run on icy surfaces and potentially have the already long process of joining prolonged further or halted all together.

When I took my "over 40 physical", they found a cervical fracture, pars defect, fractured L5 and coccyx, and some other problems. I had 3 holes in my r. lower trap, 2 breaks in my right hand, broken r. ankle, had dislocated my l. shoulder 4 times, and a litany of stitched cuts ad nauseum. Only down time I had was a week or so in a holding Company and 1 cycle of Pre-Phase before SFQC.
Trust me- I had it EASY.
I was literally unaffected compared to guys who were always in the shit, or guys who are in it, now. I still train, ruck, shoot in my range/shoot house, etc. at 67.
It's forever, Aspirante; weather is irrevelant.
