Hit it on the treadmill this afternoon. It felt good and I finished in 37:20 for 5 miles. Not my best, but not bad.

Did three miles with the Platoon this morning. I felt kind of dead from yesterday...my stamina and endurance has sliped from May unfortunately. But it went pretty well. Averaged about a 7:50 pace is my guess. 

In the afternoon I warmed up with a little over a mile on the treadmill and then lifted weights.

Ran today as a challenge from the 1SGT. We ran in formation for the first three miles and hit that in 21:58. So basically that was a 7:20 pace. Then we release ran back to our company area. If the 1SGT beat half the company or more, we were in trouble. Luckily he didn't! That last three miles were in 21:38. That was about a 7:12 pace. I am feeling okay with that. There was a nice steep hill in there and my legs were pretty much dead after that. I can work on it still though. I am far away from where I was in May. I averaged a 7:17 pace total.

Hit the treadmill this afternoon. I was feeling a bit lazy this morning so I went to the gym. I took it easy and did 5 in about 38 minutes. My body is feeling pretty good, my right knee still has some issues, but it isn't in the joint. It is more tendons or ligament issues. Just a bit stiff. Otherwise, things are feeling good. There is another 5K coming up that I might run, but it won't be very pretty. At least not compared to my last one. We'll see.

Hit it on the treadmill today. Big day for BYU football. Hopefully we don't get hammered!
