Running Totals for 19 Aug 09
Well we were able to get onto Blogger and Facebook for a couple of days at work but I guess the Communications people found out and now that is over. So now I am back to updating things after work once again. Oh well, it was good while it lasted no matter how short it was. Well this week isn't going quick enough for me BUT I knew that would happen. Out of all the weeks I have been here I knew this one would be the longest for a couple of reasons. First, it is the last full week I am here. Second, we have the Afghanistan elections tomorrow (20th) & Ramadan starts this Saturday and the Taliban have been known for getting in their attacks before their holiday break and they are not happy about the elections that are about to take place. So needless to say I just want this week over and done with. I got in a run today even though it was not a good one. I put in 5.6 miles, burned 1,050 calories, and I went for 65 minutes. I will look forward to the break from running and look forward to getting it going again once I get back to Oki. I seriously can't wait for that day to get here. Until next time...

Sorry about your shin splints. I hope that you don't have a stress fracture and they feel like shin splints. I think you have pushed so hard the it is just stress. The news says that they are acting out more than usual over there. Need to get your butt out of there. I did my 5 mile run today which means I ran 5.66 miles in 1h04m and burned 1011 calories. The next two days will be tough. I have a 5 miler at race pace, which I have set at 10 minute miles, then my long run on Fri. I need to start my long runs out at 13 miles to get into long run shape for the Goblin Valley. So I need to tweek Hal's training program quite a bit. I'll keep you informed as to how this turns out. love ya dad
I am sure you can make the program to fit what you need. The Goblin valley run sounds like a good time. I am ready to be out of here. They expected the rise in violence for the elections. And then again right before Ramadan on Saturday (22nd). I hope everything goes well for your training. Love ya.
