Was up early to listen to the BYU game online...wow, was that pathetically needless. I can't believe this team...I mean come one, your offense has been hyped all year long and through three games your average scoring is 11 points (offensively). Give me a break Brandon Doman and Jake Heaps...

Wow, before that turns into a rant I better get back to running. I stopped listening to the game after the 8th fumble and tried to go back to sleep. It was around 6:30am, I couldn't sleep because I was so frustrated, so I got up and went for a run. It felt really good and my times were a little faster than normal. Maybe because I was so upset?

Battalion run this morning before heading back...one word...SLOW. We had just short of 700 people running in formation, so it is obvious that is going to happen, but boy oh boy was it slow.

11:06  10:45   11:18   11:42 = 11:15AP

Does this even count as a run?

A great run today with Heather and the boys. I helped her push our running stroller, and although it is a very nice one...boy is it heavy to push! I don't know how she does 2+ miles a morning with it. I was having a hard time doing 2 laps...

Took a nice run today with my commander and heads of our company shops (Supply, Armorer, commo). Pretty good, got a chance to get to know our new CO better. The run was nice too.

A good somewhat recovery run today. I needed to go a little shorter and slower. My body is feeling kind of sore from the past few days, plus heading to the gym in the afternoon.

Changed it up a bit today. Went on a 3.3 mile run with the commander, then found some of my guys at the track and did another 1.25 or so with them. On the track we would run an 800m, then do some kind of calisthetic exercise. It got me another mile, and that is really what I wanted.
