| | Did three miles with the Platoon this morning. I felt kind of dead from yesterday...my stamina and endurance has sliped from May unfortunately. But it went pretty well. Averaged about a 7:50 pace is my guess. In the afternoon I warmed up with a little over a mile on the treadmill and then lifted weights. |

Ran today as a challenge from the 1SGT. We ran in formation for the first three miles and hit that in 21:58. So basically that was a 7:20 pace. Then we release ran back to our company area. If the 1SGT beat half the company or more, we were in trouble. Luckily he didn't! That last three miles were in 21:38. That was about a 7:12 pace. I am feeling okay with that. There was a nice steep hill in there and my legs were pretty much dead after that. I can work on it still though. I am far away from where I was in May. I averaged a 7:17 pace total. 7:16 7:15 7:27 7:07 7:17 7:18

| | Hit the treadmill this afternoon. I was feeling a bit lazy this morning so I went to the gym. I took it easy and did 5 in about 38 minutes. My body is feeling pretty good, my right knee still has some issues, but it isn't in the joint. It is more tendons or ligament issues. Just a bit stiff. Otherwise, things are feeling good. There is another 5K coming up that I might run, but it won't be very pretty. At least not compared to my last one. We'll see. |

| | Today's run wasn't exactly as fast as I would have liked it. I felt pretty flat for some reason, but I have also picked up mileage slightly so that could account for it. 7 good miles outside today...finally! There were three pretty steep hills in the middle of the run which may account for the slow time. I averaged a 7:38 pace. Mile 5 and 6 weren't the greatest, but it happens sometimes. 7:52 7:15 7:28 7:28 7:57 7:59 7:25 |

| | Did some night land nav using a DAGR...those things don't work very well under a canopy of trees! Anyway, it was a good experience and gave me a few more miles in my newer boots. I used my GPS watch to get my distance. It wasn't as far as I would have thought, but the night plays tricks on your mind! |

| | Did a little trail run out at the FOB (TAA Leader). I didn't like it much because the trail was awful and people could turn ankles really easy. Plus it was a bit slow, but we had a good time, it was nice to get a little run in! |

| | We did our 10 mile ruck march today. It was great to be able to do it as squads released from the platoon. My squad was the very last to start (two platoons went this morning) and we passed up every sqaud from both platoons and ended up finishing first just a little bit ahead of the 15 minute mile pace! It was great. We had to do it with all of our crew serve weapons as well, and each squad had their own M-240B. I carried that for 3 miles and the SAW for 2 miles. The squad did great, especially with ruck sacks that are probably 50lbs or more! Gotta love the Infantry! |

| | Did our 5 mile run today in preparation for Ranger School. We went out on the Ranger course and ran it there. I finished in 35 minutes which was I was pleased with. The course was very hilly and I have been out in the field the past two weeks, so I haven't been able to get in very much running. With all those factors I was pleased to have run the whole thing in about a 7 minute mile average. Ranger School, here I come! |

| | Did our 12 mile ruck march today. For the first time with these boots I got blisters! It is not very fun. Anyway, finished in about 3 hours which is Army standard...15 minute miles with nearly 50lbs of equipment. |

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! |
