Wow, today was a slow, cold run! I ran with the soldiers today and ran with B/C group... They struggle...
8:41 (I had about 15-20 soldiers with me of 118)
9:03 had to do a turnaround and slow up for the about 2/3 of the group
9:08
4:00 (.5 mile This was just me cruising up a hill trying to inspire some of the guys to push it. When I got to the top, there was only one other guy with me. ONE of 118! I am not in terribly great shape right now either...)
= 8:48 AP at162 BPM
So today's run route is pretty hilly, the first .35 mile is uphill, then from about .75 to the 1 mile mark is uphill and there are a few rolling hills inbetween. Then coming back, the reverse slopes are pretty bad. So I know I shouldn't get too frustrated, but holy cow! They guys volunteered to come in the Army, you would think they would show up in better shape. It is totally a pride thing. These kids have no self pride or vision of self-worth enough to get off the duffs, away from the computer and video games, and get into some kind of shape! Uhg it is ugly.
