Fast Running Soldier

PT test today with the PVTs, it was not good. I think I had 15 or more than ran slower than 20min TWO MILE! Ridiculous.

I did a warm up mile, then ran the first mile pretty quickly. Waited for the slower guys and ran back trying to motivate them.

7:51   6:50   7:44  =  7:29 AP at 174 BPM

Good run on the treadmill today. Ran probably about an 8:20 average pace. Listened to an pod cast episode of Dave Ramsey, love his common sense approach to Finances.  Averaged around a 176 BPM. Kind of high. Being sick and a bit dehydrated were most likely the culprites.

Another run by PLTs today. I'm giving the DS three days a week to get after PT how they want to. Fridays are the only run days they get. Not bad today though, just have to run slower. I end up running back and forth a lot, so I don't get a good pace in, but right now that is fine with my "behind the knee" thing still nagging. It has been feeling much better though. Our Athletic Trainers thought it was probably a pulled hamstring muscle. That would make sense why it is taking so long to get better. I've been heating it and icing it a lot lately.

I ended up running up and down a decent sized hill about 5 times during the run, that got my heart rate going. Otherwise my Average Pace was a meager 9:51. Going up the hill I was averaging about a 8:05.

Averaged 155 BPM.

A nice little jog around the track as the trainees were doing their push-ups, pull-ups and sit-ups. I wanted to get another day of some running in, but not too much as I am still trying to get my left leg back to 100%. It is hard to limit yourself when you want to be doing more... If this is what old age has in store, I am not going to be a happy old man!
