The mileage was actually doing land navigation/orienteering...wow it was a smoker. I think the heat index was close to 100 degrees. There were so many people falling out that were heat casualties...it was bad!

More land nav today. We had five hours to get 7 of 9 points. I can't believe that I covered over 12 miles this morning...my legs certainly can, but goodness. The last two days have been rough!

For PT we focussed on abs. Then we did a beep test again and got in just about a mile.

This morning we did a little run in uniform and boots down to the Obstacle course. We averaged just shy of 9 min pace.

In the afternoon I went to the gym and ran 5 miles on the treadmill. I ended up doing it in 36:11. I started off pretty slow as a warm up and just increased the speed as I went. I finished the last two miles in about 12:52. That was nice to be able to max a PT test run with the final two miles of a 5 mile run. I felt good today, that was refreshing!

Nice run this morning for PT. We ran about a mile at about 7:30 pace then did some stairs around a little stadium, then ran back about .75 miles at a 7:00 pace. Then we did buddy carries for a little while and finished with a nice sprint up a little hill. 

After work, I went to the gym and did the other 3.8 on a treadmill. The treadmill is getting a little easier and easier to run on, but I can't imagine doing any more than five miles on it...it would kill me!
