Not intended to be a particularly hard run, but any long run is in general pretty hard. I had occasion to watch the HBO film Taking Chase, which really reinforces my desire to never, ever, ever be a casualty notification officer. For the most part, Taking Chase is very good. The things that military observers might find at fault with the film are very niche things. This is one film where the military advisors for the film finally had enough voice where the uniforms were to standard (apart from one continuity error where air assault wings moved around on one jacket).

The goal was to run long although not necessarily slow. I can feel myself starting to get somewhat stronger, while my times aren't getting markedly faster, the distances have markedly increased. That sounds like an indicator of increased endurance versus strength, but this is a useful basis for later work since I have a solid aerobic base to work off of.

I'm not sure what prompted the iThinks today, although the last one was a throwback to running laps in Camp ISAF when I was in Afghanistan in 2014.
