Well I am back in Oki and things are pretty much back to business here. I was just informed that the Inspector General (IG) Team is here at Kadena for our Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI) which is a big deal. It shows how the base performs to prepare for war and how the base would fight a war. It is a really big deal and they suck, suck, suck!! If you fail, you can look forward to 6 months of exercises every other week until the IG team comes back for a re-look which is a worst case scenario. I hope that everything goes smoothly this week and we do fine. I am happy that it is a low mileage week because I will be working 12 hour shifts probably through Saturday. My week is Circuit Training, 3 mi, 5 mi, 3 mi, 5 mi, 6 mi. It shouldn't be hard to get in my mileage this week. The problem will be staying motivated to get in my runs after 12 hour shifts. I got in my circuit training today. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine and 30 minutes on the stationary bike. It was a pretty good work out and my legs were dead by the end of the hour. The saddest part was when I weighed myself this morning and I weighed in at 277.6 lbs. That is disappointing. There is nothing I can do about all that weight gain. I just need to work to get it off once again. So let the journey begin...again!!!

Sounds like the inspection sucks. I have a hard enough time getting in my workout, working a 10 hour shift, let alone a 12. The marathon takes a great commitment with time and effort and I know you can do it. Along with having young children who want daddys time it will be a challenge for you. Especially with this first marathon you need to stay on schedule as much as possible. Missing a run and trying to make it up on your rest days in not the way. So stay on track, because I know you can do this. love ya dad
