I ran in TQ today.  We're in some holdover tents while we wait for a flight to Kuwait.  It's not bad running here.  Lots of asphalt roads so the footing is even.  Faster humvees though.....

I'm in Kuwait baby!!! Last run in the Middle East and it can't come soon enough. I had to make 3 laps around the outer border of the base to get 12 miles. It's hotter than ...... and I can't suck in any more dust. I'm done with this dirt running!

I'm back in America.  How sweet is that?  Mississippi for just under a week, so a few runs in thick humidity.  Today I had to get up at 4:30 am and run in order to be in a 6am formation.  3 easy miles, 2 hard.

Total Time (for last 2): 9:50

Pace: 4:55

Super fast.  How come?  I figure either happy to be back in America, firm footing on gravel roads or garmin a little off.  I think it's the garmin a little off....

Horrible run.  So it's humid here......  I've never sweat during a run as much as I did today.  I was raining sweat.  I'm completely serious here.  Joe Wilden was amazed, full on taking pictures of how wet I was when I got back.  It looked like I'd just stepped out of the shower, completely dressed, running shoes and all.  I got thirsty around mile 5 so found some water to drink, but that gave my gut fits, so the run unraveled from that point on.

Total Time: 1:05:32

Pace: 7:17 (6:15 average until mile 6, then as slow at 11:28 on my last one)
