In Daegu for the Weekend...

Well I'm back in Daegu for the weekend and then it's back to Gwangju from Monday through Thursday.  We might have to come back after filling tank trucks on Wednesday and then head up to Suwon on Thursday.  There's a lot of things going on right now and they have us running around like crazy!!!  As long as I get my "stress relief aka running" in then I'm fine with whatever.  I thought this year would be a nice break away from POL but I'm sadly mistaken.  It's chaos personified!  Oh well, enough complaining.  We had a quick trip down to Gimhae today.  It rained all day and the word on the street is there's a typhoon headed our way.  I just can't get away from those things...

Gwangju...

Well we're in Gwangju for the night trying to figure out this nightmare of getting things straight so they can start cleaning the tanks up here.  What a headache!  And the funny thing is, it's not our problem but they're looking to us to sort out this mess.  Oh well, as long as they keep paying me to travel all over this craphole I'm fine with it.  I got in my runs today so that's a plus.  We head back to Daegu tomorrow.  Fun Korean times...

A Hot Rail Car Day...

Well it was rail car Tuesday and for the most part it was myself and Mr. Kim today.  By the time we finished setting up I was drenched and I think that worried Mr. Kim.  He kept feeding me water bottles because I think he thought I would kill over at any moment.  Little does he know that I'm a sweater!  We got through it without me killing over and on top of that I got in both of my runs today.  It's the little things that matter...

I'm Back...

I kind of got burned out last week.  My "sickness" was visiting last week and the sun was kicking my butt.  Everytime I ate I felt naucious and all I wanted to do was sleep.  I cut back the running last week and I'm feeling better this week.  I think my evening runs need to be a little later when it's not so hot.  That is what I did tonight and it was pleasant outside.  I'm down to 69 miles to go for my 200 mile goal and I want to hit it.  I don't think I'll ever do it again so I want to achieve it this ONE time.

Turn & Burn to Gimhae...

Well we did a quick trip down to Gimhae to deal with the fuel issue with the Army.  It turned out to be a pretty good trip.  The best part about going down there is eating at the ROKAF chow hall where we can get spicy chicken, yaki mandu, and rice.  That should show on the scale tomorrow!  I have to do inspections quarterly so I went ahead and knocked it out while I was there.  The bad thing is I'm known as the FORCE guy so I'm always tasked to take care of problems with the FORCE equipment since I'm the only one here who has ever worked with it.  I'll have to go down early next month to work out their issues because I'm booked for the rest of this month.  At least staying busy helps the time go quicker.

Happy Rail Car Day!

Well it was another exciting day doing rail cars...  Well maybe not exciting but we did rail cars nonetheless.  I'm glad that it didn't rain on us during our time over at the rail header.  With all the climbing up and down the rail cars, my run this afternoon was a struggle.  I got through it but it was like running through mud.  I'm half way to my monthly goal of 200 miles.  I think that once I get this goal out of the way I don't think I want to do this ever again.  It's too much but I want to do it once.  Kind of like the way I feel about running a full marathon.  It's too much but I want to do one.  Oh well.  Tomorrow I have to head down to Gimhae for the day.  The Army is down there messing stuff up so we need to go figure out what they're doing.  Should make my afternoon run a stress reliever run after dealing with those clowns.  STAY POSITIVE!!

A Rough Start to the Week...

Well it was a rough start to the week.  I felt like I didn't take a day off and I've been running non-stop.  So I slowed it down a little bit and will take it easy the next couple of days.  By easy I mean still getting in at least 7.4 miles a day.  Also I ran in the rain two times today.  It was a very WET day.  I thought I would get through my evening run without any rain falling but the last 15 minutes the heavens opened up and soaked me.  Now I have 2 wet pairs of shoes.  It should be a fun day tomorrow.  I'm almost half way to my monthly goal.  I'm stoked about that.  STAY FOCUSED!!

Another Week in the Books

Well I just finished another week in Daegu and I'm already ready to get another one started.  I want time to go FASTER!!!  It was a pretty good week for me exercise wise.  And it was a pretty quick week work wise.  I like when we travel to the COB's because it helps the weeks fly by.  We have a couple trips planned for the second half of August so it should help the month go pretty fast...  I hope!  I'm looking forward to my day off tomorrow.  The Sunday goal is not to take in too many calories.  Easier said than done!

Finally, Rain!!!

Well it seems like it's been forever since it last rain.  BUT this afternoon the heavens finally opened up and it rained during my run.  I was happy when it started to pour because I was dragging during my run and then the rain started and I got energized!  I love when that happens.  One more day of running and then I'm looking forward to my off day.  I don't think I'll go biking tomorrow.  My knee is feeling kinda funky so I think I'll do some light running and call it good.  I'm trying to listen to my body more.  The locals bought us Costco pizza for lunch and they made me eat WAY too much.  The scale will probably be mean to me tomorrow.  Oh well...

Happy Bday Momma...

Happy Birthday Mom!!  I hope you are having a wonderful time on your mini vacation.  I hope you had a wonderful day.  Love you tons and I can't wait to see you guys again!

Well we're here in Gwangju for the night and being in this place always seems to ruin my diet.  There's something to this place having the BEST food in Korea because IT IS GOOD!!  We stayed local (close to the base) and went down to our favorite beef and leaf restaurant.  It's mostly vegetables and very good steak.  I just need to keep running crazy miles while I'm here and the damage shouldn't be too bad.  Good thing we're headed back to Daegu tomorrow so I can get back on track.  I got in two good runs today but my body was feeling it during my long run.  KEEP IT GOING!!!

Rail Car Day...

It was another day filling rail cars and that means hot and sweaty.  Even though we were 90°+ today it didn't feel that bad outside.  There was a nice breeze for most of the time we were out there and I didn't have to break down this time which is always nice!  Tomorrow we head to Gwangju for an over night visit.  Traveling makes my weeks go quicker and I'm thankful for that.  I had to switch out my Nike+ because the old sensor was finally going out.  This one should last me until I come home in January.  That means I actually got in 3 runs today because I had to calibrate the sensor to 1 mile.  Always nice to get in some extra mileage even though my body wouldn't agree with me.  JUST RUN!!!

Start of Another Busy Week...

Well it's the beginning of a semi busy week for me.  Today was my lazy day with not much to do.  Tuesday it's rail cars, Wednesday we head up to Gwangju, Thursday pre- tank cleaning meeting and back down to Daegu, AND Friday NCOPEC course for most of the day.  It should be a pretty quick week for me.  And most likely a loooong bike ride on Saturday.  The best way to not go crazy is stay busy and I think I'm doing pretty good in that department.  Today was run base perimeter day.  Good times...

Happy Anniversary Heather!!!

Today is my 11th Anniversary for Heather and I.  I miss her and the girls terribly and I look forward to when Korea will be behind us and we can be together again.  I'm truly blessed to have them in my life.

Well, today is Saturday and that means finding things to make the day go fast.  I'm not a big fan of weekends here because I get to spend a lot of time by myself and that sucks.  So I normally hang out with MSgt Fry on the weekends and that means bike riding, hiking, or something else outside.  I got in my normal morning run but on Saturday its turned into our ride the river day.  We got in roughly 31 miles today in the blistering heat and humidity.  Not too bad for a work out day.  I'm looking forward to my recovery day tomorrow...

Back in Daegu for the Weekend...

Well after a quick trip up to Suwon & Osan we are back in Daegu.  We headed up to Osan to say goodbye to one of the guys we work with at 7th Air Force.  It wouldn't have been so bad if Osan Communications would do their jobs and fix the Internet up at Suwon.  It's frustrating but nothing we can do about it.  So this post will cover the last couple of days.  I got in my two runs yesterday and two more runs today.  I'm taking it easy and getting in walk breaks during my runs so I don't burn out or hurt myself.  I want to be smart about this 200 miles.  I really don't mind staying at Suwon because the Army is there and they have a Chow Hall that's pretty good and cheap.  It's fairly close to our billeting there and the gym is close too.  So not a bad set up when we go up there.

Hello August...

Well let's get started!  I have set a lofty goal for August.  I want to run 200 miles this month.  I know it sounds crazy but I thought it through and it works out to be 7.4 miles a day with Sundays off.  I will take it one day at a time and see what happens.  I mean, I have the time to do it so barring an injury I should get it done.  Today is in the books and I'm off to a good start.  JUST RUN...FAR!!!
