| | Starting to get back into it. The summer heat will begin to die down soon. I haven't logged all my miles in the past 12 months or so, but I can tell you it hasn't been very much.
My wife on the other hand is killing it. About to run her first 10 miler (race) that my unit is putting on. That will be 31 October. I bet she averages 8:00 or slightly under. Killing me right now!

| | Same route as Monday. Ended up averaging about an 8:25 pace. There are some decent hills on this route that I would like to blame for my slow pace, but I think the real answer is me!

| | Did the Downing Mile today with all the Os in the BN with some staff members. My Battalion Commander is very in shape and is challenging me to get back into it. The Downing Mile is a trail run with a bunch of obstacles (walls, monkey bars, etc.). We did one instructional loop for those that hadn't ever done it before, and two at our own pace. I ended up finishing 5th out of 25, but nothing to brag about...I was dying going up the hills at the end.
Afterwards, I finished with a down and up on Cardiac Hill.

| | Ran the same route as Mon/Wed of last week just a little longer. Got out to Malone 2 and turned around. That added another hill to the run. Not sure what my time was, my GPS watch may be biting the dust...

| | Finally got my Garmin 305 to work. I love this watch, but it has given me so many issues...I think sweat has gotten into the watch a bit too many times.
I ran the first mile in about 8:40 and the second in about 8:20. Just trying to keep the body moving and warm. I had some back spasms yesterday, so I didn't want to push it. Time to get some love from our Athletic Trainers.

| | Wow, this morning was SO cool! I am amazed how fast fall seems to have come. I'm not holding my breath though, because I know what the weather down here can do. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to run this morning.
The run hurt though. I had back spasms on Monday, and I've got some strange muscle in my upper back behind my lungs that is either really sore, or I pulled it during the back spasms. It makes it really hard to take a deep breath. My body is probably tired anyway, but this run was rough...
8:58 8:31 8:21 8:16 = 8:32 AP at 161 average BPM (way too high for this pace, I'm out of shape) :(

| | Couldn't get out this morning. After the rough run yesterday and how my back is feeling, I decided to take today off.

| | Man, another rough run this morning. My back is feeling a lot better, but not 100% yet. I think sleep and my back/lung pain had an affect on this weeks running. Hopefully next week it gets better.
8:43 8:41 8:22 8:13 = 8:30 Average Pace at an average of 162bpm
I'm out of shape... :(

| | I felt really good today. My legs felt strong and my cardio felt better. Obviously that is from taking the weekend off to rest. This is still a challenging course that hurts with the hills. The first .85 of a mile is basically all uphill. Then it goes about .25 downhill, then another .25 uphill. After that it is about another .15 dowhnhill and probably .35 uphill to the turnaround. Then repeat the same all the way back. So generally I am coming back faster, but it takes it out of me based on the difficulty going out...why do I do this again, lol?
