| | Today was an awful run day with the PVTs. My goodness they couldn't keep up and we were running slow. Sometimes I wonder about this generation of youth. We see some awfully out of shape and unfit (physically and mentally) soldiers.
8:07 8:56 8:24 = 8:29avg
I can't wait to be able to run by myself again.

| | Good evening run today without the PVTs. It was a bit chilly at first, but once you get moving it gets warm fast. The wind was blowing a good 15-20mph from my right to left on the way out and from my left to right on the way back. I'm not sure if that has any effect on time since it was a head or tail wind... I felt good though and ran at a comfortable pace.
7:47 7:44 7:49 3:58 (.5 mile) = 7:48 avg at 171bpm avg
Not really surprised at anything here given what I perceive as my level of fitness. It is crazy to think that just a couple years back running at this pace my average bpm would be in the mid 140s... Oh well, the thing I love about running is that there is NO rush!

| | Wow, this morning woke up to 32 degrees in Columbus, GA. Crazy. That being said I just went to our BN gym and ran on the treadmill. I have no problem running in that temp, but give the Army's pt uniforms and the fact I wasn't ready for that temp, the treadmill looked like a great option!
According to the treadmill (not sure how accurate this one is calibrated): 8:55 8:20 8:05 = 172 average BPM.
Slowly but surely.

| | Today was a great run in freezing weather. We had a coldfront come through the last few days. I started running at about 8:00am and it was probably 38 degrees. It was that cold part of the morning when the sun is just beginning to rise...brrrr! I haven't run 5 miles or more in a LONG time. Can't run that far with the PVTs. Although I felt weak, it was great to get out and get in a longer run.
8:09 7:57 8:01 7:57 7:45 = 7:58 average pace at an average of 176 BPM
All in all, not bad. I am just amazed at where my BPM are right now. At that pace I have been about 30 BPM less. Crazy how the heart works. A couple months or so and that should start to come down, probably a few weeks and it will start to be noticeable.

| | We did a Company run today for the end of the phase. It was not awful, but we had like 1/3 of the Company that couldn't keep up at an 8:30 pace. Embarassing! I kept my watch going when we turned around to pick up the stragglers, so our average time will look even slower.
8:24 (no turning around) 8:58 (turn around) 8:59 (turn around) 4:51 (.5 mile) = 8:51 average
160 BPM average
I like seeing my BPM down from the 170s, but sad it has to be at a 8:51 pace...

| | Didn't run today, had a Scout Campout and got to bed pretty late, didn't sleep at all. Of course! It was okay though, I think 5 days of running was pretty good right now.
