haha, pains in your body are very common when yomping, it just be a case of pricking heat or just bad circulation, you build up your weight fairly quickly in training and i just got off of dorsets leap (week 20) a couple weeks ago and i was carrying just under 120 pounds webbing and bergen, the pain...
