Good run today. I felt pretty good, I think the rest from last week was a good decision. My ankle is feeling just fine and I felt really good running today. I did a warm up mile and then ran a PT test with the PVTs today. I think our fastest guy did a 11:33 which was moving. I started as the last man began, and by the time I got to the mile mark there were only about 25 guys ahead of me...and that was a fairly slow mile... These kids need some work!

7:47 (this was really a warm up, but felt good)   6:43(uphill on the first half mile or so)   7:41 (ran slower on the way back with some of the weak PVTs to motivate them)

Nice running Colby. I'm sure you gave those guys some good "motivation" when your ran alongside! Great that you can set an example for those guys.

Thanks Joe. Basic Training is not a "sexy" command as far as future in the Army is concerned, but I have really enjoyed being here and trying to put the best product out to the Army.

I change command on 06 JUN, and it is starting to set in a little bit that this time is over. But we still have a few good weeks left in us!

Do you have to swear at them and tell them you're not their mama? I've watched a lot of movies.
