Word of the Day: Plod

Here's my attempt at using the word of the day in a sentence:

"The exhausted soldier plodded through the muddy field unsure if his next step would be his last."

"A loud and steady plod could be heard off in the distance; Sandy was excited to know that the ranch was near."

Learning is best done through experience; leave a sentence using the word of the day in the comments to enhance your vocabulary!
