7.8mi, 70:01, 3 JAN 09, Bagram, Afghanistan

Day 326 of the campaign.

iThink:
R.E.M., "Driver 8"
The All-American Rejects, "Move Along"
The Dust Brothers, "Stealing Fat" (the opening credits music to the film Fight Club)
Bear McCreary, "Passacaglia"

WX at : 35 (2) DP 32 (0) BP 30.15 (1021) W 9 light rain RH 89

Odometer 3: 297.3mi

Z3.
Average/max heart rate = 155/165

This is perimeter run 66.

Our intelligence planner has been telling us the weather was going to turn shitty, and the timing was impeccable. It started raining just as I got back. Tomorrow's going to be wet and sloppy, so I may not run, except on the dreadmill.

I started out going what I thought was going to be a workable pace, but found out I was running with a tailwind and started getting tired. It was slower than I wanted, but faster than yesterday.

I may pay for this later in dead legs, but the run was worth it, at least for now.

Shitty weather in the winter is good for us because it's bad for the enemy. And when it drops below freezing, it's turning into snow. Wet snow on top of wet ground.

Kill on. No thanks to the 1st No Value Added brigade of slugs who steal oxygen from more deserving individuals who actually work in our headquarters.
