| | Felt good today. Ran pretty slow with another soldier. Ran at a 9:03 average pace. Got a pretty good pace going towards the end, the last 200m or so. Things are feeling pretty good though! |

| | Felt good today. Wasn't able to run until about 8:00am which made it pretty warm and very humid. Everything felt good though and my forefoot strike is feeling very comfortable. I still have to consciously think about it, but it is starting to feel pretty good. Another injury free week down. Oh, I ran this is 15:44. |

Ran two miles at PT test pace. I am still getting back into the swing of things and finished with a 13:30. I started off really slow and booked it at the end. It felt nice to let the legs out a bit. We run it on a 5 lap course, so it is a little different. The first two laps I ran in 6:00 which ends up being a 15:00 two mile pace. The last three laps pulled it together and finished with a 13:30.
From there I just ran two laps on the track at a nice comfortable pace. My GPS died on me on lap one of the two mile, so I didn't get any good info... |

Had a nice slower/recovery run today. I averaged an 8:18 pace and according to my HRM I averaged 173 BPM...wow, much higher than it used to be.
I am amazed at what a few months of inactivity will do to you. It seems like it takes half the time to loose your fitness. Weird. Maybe it will come back faster though, it already feels like it though.
Finished with a push-up set and my little Ab 300. |

2 min push-ups: 86
2 min sit-ups: 94
2 mile run: 12:45
Finished up with a half mile cool down jog. |

Well, run #1 in these Reebok shoes. I can't believe that I would say that Reebok has a good running shoe, but I think they have done a pretty good job with this one. You've probably seen the ads for this shoe. It has the 76 or however many "buddies" on the bottom. It flexes and moves very well and is designed to help you run more "naturally" on your forefoot.
They are extremely light. The upper is basically just a thin peice of fabric, no real protection, just a suede fabric. So far I am pretty impressed...as hard as that is for me to say with a Reebok. |

| | Today was actually a 12 mile ruck. We have to complete it in 3 hours. The ruck sack weighed about 40lbs with water at the start. But it rained on us a couple of times so I think the ruck actually got slightly heavier. I ended up averaging a 12:38 pace and finished in 2:29:50. That is one of my faster 12 mile times. I felt pretty good. One of these days I will be able to run the whole distance, but I am not in that shape yet. Two guys did, one finished in 1:50 and the other guy in 2:07 I think. That is flying! |

Back at it. I felt kind of sluggish today for the first .50 mile or so. Then things picked up and I was running in the 6:30 range for a few minutes. I was trying to push it that fast, it just felt comfortable. I ended up with a 7:20 average.
I should be able to hit about a 5k a day now. I wanted to take it easier today, but my leg hasn't bothered me at all! |

Today was good, but my legs were sore from my Crossfit workout yesterday afternoon. It was a good run, we averaged 7:25 pace and then went to the pool and did a few laps with brick diving.
Crossfit this afternoon. |
