That's great. Wish I could run that fast and feel sluggish.

You know Colby, I've just got to say your blog is fascinating to me as a runner, a history teacher, and a former soldier...
I mean you're fighting a war! And yet, interspersed with your "missions", you have these moments of normality when you go for a seven mile run almost like you're a suburban husband/father at the end of a work day - only your workday is quite different.
I'm thinking what if blogs existed during WW II...
June 6, 1944 - "We invaded the Normandy Beach today. My platoon was assigned a sector of Omaha Beach - Man that sucked! Easy seven miles plus some fast striders on the cliffs above Point Du Hoc in the pm.
Modern warfare! I'm telling you, historians will study your blog someday.
I hope all is well. My family and I pray for your safety often.
