6.8mi, 55:28, 4 OCT 08, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas

Day 235 of the campaign.

iThink:
Death Cab for Cutie, "Your Heart Is An Empty Room"
Death Cab for Cutie, "What Sarah Said"

WX at 0700: 54.0 (12.2) DP 46.9 (8.3) BP 30.08 (1018) ESE 7 RH 77

Odometer 3: 191.9mi

Z4.
Average/max heart rate = 167/185

I can't believe that I'm not yet 50% through this deployment.

I am on emergency leave back at home. Household6 had to go in for surgery and 44 hours after showing up for manifest call at Bagram, I was back at home.

The sense of dislocation is absolutely fucking staggering. It is no accident that "What Sarah Said" is on my mind.

Today marked my first real PT in what's been about a week. I also managed to pick up a cold. I'm not sure if it's because I went from cool (at Bagram) to smoking hot (at Al Udeid Air Base) to long plane ride to cool at Kansas City. It could also be that I went maybe 60 hours without horizontal rack time and I was absolutely incoherently tired by last night.

Today's run proved a few things - altitude acclimation works (I felt pretty good starting off) but it's not a substitute for regular training.
