Another run tonight, but a long one this time. It was supposed to be shorter (8.4 miles) but when I got to the turnaround I felt good enough to press on, so I did. The deceptive thing about that (gauging how you feel at the halfway point) is that you are only halfway and still have to run back ( Read more... )

Went by the Marine recruiting station up in Valdosta today, very odd to say the least. They have no weekly PT... at all. Not even for their dep'ers, which, considering how many dep'ers I was helping at MCRS Panama City to pass the run... I kind of worry about their numbers a little bit. I talked to the NCOIC, a Staff Sergeant, and he seemed pretty ( Read more... )

Uneventful run tonight - though it was nice to get back to it after taking five days off. 6.2m/49:55m, my usual route. This next week will be a lot of speed training and will culminate in a 10 mile run, as my previous weeks did. Think I'll be keeping that schedule for about the next 3-6 weeks, depending on how the speed training goes for me ( Read more... )

After a long and arduous period of procrastination, I finally installed my Yahoo! Messenger back on to this computer. Other than that I have done officially nothing but eat pizza and code for the database. Watched a couple movies in there somewhere too ( Read more... )

I scheduled my interview with the human resources office for tomorrow at 10am. I thought the conversation was a little odd though ( Read more... )

So, good news and bad news ( Read more... )

Its been like two weeks since I posted about something other than training. Used to, this was much more than a training log, I've just found that between moving and working in a home business I don't have much of a social life ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to the podiatrist and found out some very cool stuff about the calf muscle in particular. You can read about that here in the runners community. In addition to just learning about my muscles, he taped these plates to the bottoms of my feet that would help counteract the strength of my calf muscles. I admit, I was a little skeptical, but I ( Read more... )
