Didn't have my watch, but had a good run this morning, did 4.2. We had some good hills and ran pretty quick for the first couple of miles. Back from the field this week, hopefully I'll be able to run more.

This afternoon I went to the gym to lift and did another 1.2 on the treadmill to warm up. The weather is finally starting to cool down so maybe I will be able to do some running outside here soon!

I warmed up for 1 mile on the treadmill today and then we finished a physical assessment that had to do with some weight lifting...boy am I awful in that category. Afterwards I went on a run that was about 5.25 miles. We did it in about 40 minutes, slightly faster I think. Unfortunately I didn't time it. It felt great though, it was nice to get in a good run in the morning. 

The weather is starting to get cooler which is nice! It is so funny to see people with jackets and long running pants on when it is 60+ degrees here, haha!

We did our little Iron Man competition this morning and boy it was a smoker. We were in full uniform, IBA (body armor), FLC (suspenders and pouches), rucksack (50lbs at least), and boots. We ran a little over half this distance with all of it. Then dropped the rucksack and finished with IBA and FLC. It was a competition in the company. Each platoon selected 5 two man teams to compete. LT Velasquez and I were the top team from our platoon and we ended up winning the whole thing! I can't say I did a whole lot, I just tried to keep up with him. Phil is a physical monster!

Anyway, we had a great time, but my legs are not going to be happy with me tomorrow!
