I never work out unless I'm at work, I get a 260, which is on the high end for my unit so I've really got no desire to improve.

I need a training buddy or something shiny to motivate me to actually try for things.

I'm going to Ireland in April and I've gained 5 pounds due to my post-broken toe inactivity and incessant drinking, so count me in on the challenge for this month. I've been drinking like a fish recently, but coming down on PCS orders has made life a lot more bearable.

I'll even try to go to that gym thing.

But all bets are off in April. I'm going to the St. James Gate brewery and just gonna stick my mouth under a tap, man.

Well, no more minimalist running shoes for me. I'm fairly fresh off my profile for my broken big toe and I lost some range of motion in it so my foot doesn't roll as naturally anymore. It doesn't bother me if I have thicker soled shoes since they stabilize the foot, but my minimus don't so after each run my ankle and knee just end up aching from taking the impact awkwardly and rolling strangely.

Guess I'm going shoe shopping.

Why not just get free runs?

I have some that I wore before switching to the Minimus that I can try going back to. They're 3.0s, but still have a reasonable sole on them. I went ahead and picked up some gel-soled traditional running shoes that seem to be the best route for the short term. My calves are going to hate going back to a full shoe, but I'd rather get used to running again that way and then slowly transition back down once I've gotten comfortable with any changes to my stride.

I thought the standard at Ranger School was 40 minutes?

It is and the apft standard is only 180 but if that's all you get you might as well just call it a day and hop the next train to baby town, because you're the new mayor.

Hoorah wardog?? Git sum.
