PM: 8.5 treadmill miles. Averaged 8 minute pace for 7 miles. Good run.

Here's how Marine Corps mail works. Today we got two letters from Andy. One dated December 22 and one December 25. They both arrived on January 6. San Diego to Salt Lake shouldn't take that long.

The good news is he qualified expert on the rifle range. So he will be able to wear the expert rifleman badge on his uniform at graduation. He seemed pretty proud of that. He also wants to stay an extra day in San Diego before coming home so we can go to the zoo and In-N-Out burger with his friends. So he's the same Andy.
