So all it took was one comment from me to get you blogging again?

How much longer are you in Italy? We are saving our nickels and dimes for a family trip to Italy a couple summers from now. My daughter is learning Italian so she can translate. Will have to pick your brain in advance. I also have a foRmer XC runner here at Alta who did his mission there.

Haha, like I said Rob I have just been lazy about putting my miles on the blog. I leave my GPS watch at work and forget to bring it home so I haven't been inputting my miles...laziness.

How is your running going? Hopefully fast and often!

As for Italy, we actually PCSd in February. We moved back to Ft. Benning and I am assigned with 3d BN, 75th Ranger Regt. I am loving life as a PL. Couldn't ask for a better organization/company to be in. These guys are so highly motivated and do their job. It is amazing what an organization can accomplish when everyone does what they are supposed to do.

Keep saving up for Italy, it is an awesome place. If I can be of any help I would love to! Feel free to ask away.
