Exercise Monday...

Well today we kick off a short Phase I LORE that is supposed to last through Wednesday.  A LORE is a local exercise to test our war fighting capability.  A Phase I is the processing portion of the exercise to see how long it takes for us to get our troops to the mobility processing line, aboard an aircraft, and to the war zone.  Then normally a Phase II exercise would kick off which would be the actual war portion of the exercise.  Phase II's are where you "suck rubber" and don your chem suits.  That sucks!  Good thing this is only a Phase I.

We things were going well until last Thursday night I had a recurrence of my chest cold.  I didn't get in any running Friday or Saturday because I was trying to get over my hack.  I feel better today but still have that lingering cough with chest congestion.  I will take things slower at the beginning of the week and see how that goes.  It was a pretty warm morning and it was a nice run.  I was a little bit winded during my run because of the chest congestion but all in all it was a decent morning run.  I got in 5.2 miles this morning.  I am starting off the week weighing 270.2 lbs.  I am looking to improve on that number this week.

STATS FOR JANUARY:

Weight-  270.2lbs (274.4lbs)
Mileage-  26.33 miles

Weekly Totals for 2 Jan - 7 Jan:

Weight Loss-  4.2 lbs
Mileage-  21.12 miles

*ONLY 82 MORE DAYS UNTIL MY PT TEST MONTH*

You had a great week even though you were sick. I will try and do better this week. I am becoming a Tebow fan. I think Elway telling him to just to let the ball go gave him more confidence with his passing. How important the QB is shows with Manning and the Colts this year. Like you said the Broncos have the same players and the only change has been Tebow. Go Broncos. love ya dad
