Day 380 of the campaign.

This is perimeter run 74.

The weather was the clearest during my entire tour. Literally. I resolved to crank out a perimeter run, no matter how late it was. And it was worth it. I ran a lot more slowly than I expected - but it also comes after a day of cranking hard on the erg and this is the most PT I've done in a row in a few months. Seriously.

Times were inconsistent tonight, but I started too fast relative to actual ability and I was facing more winds than I've seen in a while. It's not time for the winds of summer, and I'll leave Afghanistan before that happens, but I haven't run in a while either.

I intend to hash tomorrow, so the streak continues. It's a start.
