Wow, 6.5 miles today and things feel ok. I ran 1.5 mile warm-up at

about 8:30 pace and then paced someone for a two mile on their physical

fitness test to a 12:49 two mile. This felt very easy. Afterwards did a

3 mile warm down at about 8:00 pace average. Also, on my physical

fitness test today I did 92 push-ups in two minutes and 99 sit-ups in

two minutes. This gave me my highest physical fitness test score since

I joined the Army over 18 years ago. I scored 362 points on an extended

scale above the 300 maximum score. A good day overall at least

physically speaking.

5 miles today along Provo River Trail from BYU. First mile in 8:00 then gradually picked it up. Hit turn around, 2.5 miles in 19:00 and then returned in 17:17 for a 7:15 average pace overall. Felt pretty decent overall and ran the last mile in 6:30.
