Today was a good run. I ran with a buddy Charlie who is down here with me. He is trying to get into shape for our Ranger PT test that will come in about a month. We ran five miles together and did that in about 8:25 pace or so. It was slow for me, but it gave me mileage and somebody to run with. For the Ranger PT test we have to run 5 miles under 40min. which won't be difficult for me but Charlie is having a hard time. Good thing we have a month and I can help him. After we got back home I went out and ran two more miles at a pretty quick pace. I ran the first mile in about 6:21 and the second in about 6:23. It was nice to be able to run quick. I am noticing my ability to run longer distances at that quick pace is falling off. I was pretty exhuasted at the end of those two miles. I know it came after 5 miles, but it shouldn't have been that hard. I can't wait for BOLC II to end! |
