Record APFT, 286 points, 4 APR 12, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas

iThink: MxPx, "I Will Follow"

WX at 05:53 NE 12 10.00 Mostly Cloudy SCT060 BKN110 56 52 29.80 1008.7

Odometer 11B: 340.0mi equivalency
Odometer 11C: 241.3mi

Z4 high. Average/max heart rate = no reading

It occurred to me that part of the reason my knees hurt the last few days is that my shoes (11B) might possibly be worn out.

The barometer of this will be later today if my knees hurt after running in today's shoes (11C) which don't have as much mileage on them.

The selection of the same iThink as my last PT test was unintentional.

I did, however, run markedly faster this time than last, and to run 15:13 was pretty gratifying given the utter absence of any speedwork from my life. I did more pushups and situps too.

It is instructive to note that the last time I scored above 290 on a PT test was at Fort Campbell, 4 1/2 years ago. I was doing more regular PT, still harbored ambitions of attending Air Assault School, and would like to think I had better living habits then. It is perhaps sad to think that I would be happy running 15:13, because I always expected to run faster than that.

It is also possible that I am getting older, but that doesn't explain the general malaise of the last few years, at least not physically.
