Well, after being down all last week with Bronchitis/pneumonia I was finally able to go out and run again. I felt pretty sluggish and was glad to run with my buddy Charlie Hale. About three miles into it my IT band in my right knee started to bug me. I had to cut my run short and meet up with Charlie. He did the 5miles, I did less. Hopefully my knee just needs to warm up and it will be okay! I am grateful to be back running again, hopefully I can get the mileage up a bit more again this week.

Had a 0230 formation for night MOUT OPs. Ridiculous. Anyway, we did end up getting off early, so I went to the gym and ran five miles. It was a lot harder than it should have been, I think I am still recovering. I was able to get one mile at about 6:30 pace. It took me a couple miles to get warmed up though. Tomorrow is our 10mile ruck march so I may count that as a bit of a run tomorrow.

Did our 10 mile ruck march today. It was okay, I was a bit sore afterwards but that is what 45-50lbs extra weight will do to you.
