7.8mi, 71:56, 27 FEB 09, Bagram, Afghanistan

Day 381 of the campaign.

iThink: Dos Gringos, "Has Anybody Seen My Wingman?"

WX at 2330: 37 (3) DP 15 (-9) BP 30.15 (1021) WNW 3 RH 40

Odometer 3: 355.8mi

Z3.
Average/max heart rate = 158/168

This is perimeter run 75.

I probably would've hit the rowing machine, but there were two guys who were going to run the perimeter, slowly, and I was totally game. It's unusual that I get in a night run with someone else, but it was good. It also validated why I wear my Garmin Forerunner, as we were all over the map on pace. We stayed honest only because I was calling out splits and pace. I've been pretty good about staying relatively steady on pace, but I find that I might be an exception to the rule as not everyone else shares my relative consistency.

I am noticing my knees hurt a bit more. I also know that I've done enough walking in these shoes that it's probably not just 356 miles in these and it's probably time to toss these in the trash.

I'm also gratified at the bizarre phenomenon of actually doing PT for four consecutive days, something I haven't done in months. Literally, I think.

  1. Hi, Francis, just checking in to see how you're doing. Sounds like a rough winter there. Wish I had words of wisdom to share, but all I can think of is that I think of you and the guys there, and hope that you all come back. Especially you. Take care, old DRS friend.
