A good run today after the weekend. Today is a day off for us. I took some days off last week for 1) an Airborne operation on Thursday, 2 jumps! and 2) starting to feel some pain in my lower shins/high ankles. 

Today felt much better. I ran at just under an 8:00 pace.

A good run today. I wanted to run it a little shorter than I have the last couple of days to make sure I am not pushing it to much. My leg is feeling okay, not 100% better, but no pain. Hopefully it holds up.

Today was a great run with the platoon. Took them 2.75 miles to the base of Mount Berico and then did hill repeats ranging from 150m to probably 450m. It broke off a lot of my out shape soldiers. I was feeling it too since I haven't done repeats/hills in such a long time. Also, this is the longest run I have done in months...I felt fairly strong though. And my hill sprints were better than I would have thought. We did a sprint at the end to finish the run.

Alright, 6 days of running and over 20 miles. That is a something I haven't done in a while. I didn't have my watch with me today so I used gmap-pedometer.com and got my info from that. It obviously isn't as accurate, but I am pretty sure it is close. My legs are feeling pretty dead from yesterday, but I am fine with that. I am just glad I was able to run as many miles as I did this week.
