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!

Just a quick run to losen my body up, then hit the gym for a back workout.

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.
