Z3 high.

First run in almost three weeks - not counting my PT test. I've had some weight loss from moving stuff around, but it won't last unless I do something about it.

I find it ironic that I can't get a run in unless I'm away from home, but this was worth it.

Quantico is pretty hilly, if this morning's run is any indicator. Still, it felt good to get out there - and the weather was about as good as it gets.

One highlight from this morning's run: brief stop at the USMC Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy building, where there's a small exhibit on GySgt John Basilone, who earned a Medal of Honor at Guadalcanal in 1942, and a posthumous Navy Cross at Iwo Jima in 1945. It makes sense for Basilone to be memorialized at the NCO academy, but it's been my observation that the Marine Corps has always been very good about memorializing its own.
