Fast Running Soldier

Today was a treadmill run. Started off at about a 7:50 pace for the first 2miles, then wanted to see what I had in my and set it to 6:31 for the next two miles (almost didn't make it), then finished with an 8:30 mile. I was glad I had it in me, especially since I was running a hill workout on the treadmill (albeit just on level 1).

Finished the morning with a Chest and Tri workout.

Another treadmill run today. The rainy season has started here. Hopefully it won't last too long, it is tough running on the treadmill when the all the windows are closed. I am sweating like a pig by the 1.25 mile mark. If I remember right I finished 5 miles in 39:05. I nice easy run with another hill workout.

Today's run was good...and fast. I ran with the new Mortar section sergeant and this guy can run. We ran our first two miles in 14:14 and had to slow down a little for guys that weren't keeping up. At times we were running in the 5min pace and even dropped down to the 4s for a few seconds. They only ran about 2.5, so I finished on the track. I will try and post my splits later. My average pace was 7:22

6:59  7:16   8:09  7:23  7:04 = 7:22AP 

Well, a beautiful run through the heart of (ancient) Rome. We are here for the 4 day weekend and the weather is beautiful. We found a nice apartment for a great price about a quarter mile from St. Peter's, so I took a ran to scout out our plans for tomorrow. I ran through St. Peter's square and down past the Forum and Palantine Hill around the Colloseum and back.

Although a beautiful run, Rome is not runner friendly. With all the cobblestone, marble, and traffic it made for an interesting run, but I won't complain about being able to get out!

  AP was 8:25 

 Another great run. Today I ran from St. Peter's and over to the Spanish Steps. Not an ancient attraction, more modern, but a fun attraction in Rome. Heather wants to go there tomorrow so I did a run recon!
