I like how it keeps my heart rate in the 100s with no real feeling of extra effort.

I get bored of tracks.

I understand the sentiment, just difficult sometimes to sympathise with it when you've been bush bashing for 4 hours slogging your guts up a hill with a pack. E.g. I'm joining a team in the the Bush Search and Rescues Navshield competition at end of June. Basically rogaining but over a longer area, will want a track by the end I'm sure.

I still walk on established tracks. Sooner the later I have to go rogue.

I put my 36kg weighted backpack on last night for the first time in a while. I was probably walking no more than 5km/h around my usual route. By the time I got to my first rest stop, I was completely buggered. I woke up this morning and tried to get out of bed to do my usual day. I was greeted by the staggering pain in my feet that left me barely able to walk. But, it did take about 10 minutes before I was walking relatively freely again.

4km last night. 5.5km tonight. Weighed myself on a new set of scales. 107kg. If I can make it below 100kg by June, I will be very happy.

Well, I mean - she was up there doing the work, then removing the rust spots, sealing them, etc. I was just giving instruction and boy was it keeping me fit and in shape.
