  Had our PT test today. It was a surprise for me when I showed up, but I should have realized a 0445 formation meant PT test. I did just about what I thought I would do except for my pushups. For whatever reason I started to get tired around 50 and just barely maxed with 76...I don't know in the world happened. Situps were good and my two mile run was 12:23. The course measured 2.02 and when my GPS watch beeped for the 2 mile I was at 12:14. The course was a full mile loop so your ran around it twice. There were like 300 people on the track at the same time so it was a bit slow and crowded...oh well.

Later in the evening I went an ran the other mileage...I am really embarrassed to put down the time that I ran it in, so I am not. Needless to say, don't go running right after you eat dinner. At least wait more than 15 minutes :(

Woke up early and did 3 miles on my own with a 7:35 pace and then as a Platoon we did the other mileage at the ridiculously slow pace of 9:53 average. Luckily I was a road guard so I got a little bit more of a workout running to stop traffic and relieving the other road guard. That is about it for the day!

Had a ridiculously early formation for a urinalysis and didn't get home until pretty late. Didn't get anything done today...

Today was a slow run with the platoon. We have some pretty weak individuals...I am a roadguard which helps getting more of a workout with the sprinting back and forth. I also ran a bit more because of having to drop back and then run forward again. At one point I hit a sub 6min. quarter mile with my fastest pace at 5:11. It was downhill and nice to run fast like that.

Today I put the five miles in that we did for a ruckmarch. Obviously we weren't running but it was a good march. Our formation was ridiculously early again for shots and the we were off for the ruckmarch. Didn't get home until 9:45pm. The OP-tempo is pretty crazy right now, there doesn't seem to be a set schedule and I can't go out and run at 8:00pm with only spending like :30min with my wife and son...I am way frustrated!
