Had an early formation this morning to start IBOLC inprocessing. That went pretty well and it was very organized. Already I am thinking this course is going to be ten times better than BOLC II. 

After we were released (about 1700) I went to the gym and ran and then did a little 10min. cross fit workout. I started with an easy warm-up mile and then hit two miles in 12:45 and the cooled down. I have another PT test tomorrow so I wanted to make sure that I could hit a sub 13:00min two mile again.

Took a PT test and ran a little bit more. I finished my two miles in 12:27, a big improvement from only a week ago!

Didn't get any running in today. We had some other kind of PT and then got off late because of an informal meet and great with some brass out here...

Finshed this RAW, Ranger Athlete Warrior, assessment today. We started with benching 185lbs as many times as possible and then dead lifting 225lbs as much as possible. When I got to the dead lift, I started to pick up the weight and something in my lower back/behind popped and I stopped. I am pretty sure it is just a pulled muscle of some kind, but it made me pretty nervous! 

After that we did this thing called a 'beep drill'. You put a CD in a car and use 20m with a line on both ends that you have to run to every time it beeps. It progressively gets faster and when you can't reach the line twice in a row, you are out. The mile ended up being around 10min. but we were sprinting in the end to try and reach that dang line. It was pretty intense!

Couldn't get out for another run unfortunately...

This morning we were supposed to do combatives, but ended up running a little over two miles.

After the workday I went to the gym and did 5 miles. I finished in 36:20. I wanted to keep it kind of light, but get a couple harder miles in. I started off around 8:10 and then picked it up throughout the run. I finished the last little bit with a 6:30 pace or so. Even indoors I still sweat like crazy! Gotta love the South.

I felt pretty bad this morning...just kind of flat and dead in the legs! I am not sure if my body is used to two days of a medium distance, especially with pushing it kind of hard on the treadmill yesterday.

But, the run was good, and I was able to do it all in under 8min. miles. It is a pretty hilly course that I chose to run. There was about 160ft change in elevation total.
