A Nasty Cold

I'm dealing with a nasty cold at the moment but I'm trying not to let it disturb my running.  I feel a little bit better than I did yesterday.  But it seems like my cold has moved to my head.  I did get over to the gym this morning over in Gunnison.  I'm pretty close to my 100 mile mark.  Just a couple more runs and I'll be good to go for January.  Until next time...

A Little Utah Running

Well I've taken the last week off to become reacquainted with my family and have eaten horribly during that time.  Now it's time to get back to work and get some runs in while I'm home on mid tour.  I'm pretty close to my monthly goal of 100 miles.  It's time to knock that out and get as many as I can before February starts.  JUST RUN!

Happy Mid Tour!!!

Well my mid tour is finally here.  Today I head down to Busan to stay the night and tomorrow I fly half way around the world to be with my family.  I can't wait!  I'm glad that it is finally here.  Not a lot going on today besides heading to the bus station here at Daegu and head to Busan to wait.  I hope the hotel is close to something to do because I need to stay busy so today goes by quickly.  I got my run because I don't think I'll get to run again this week.  I have to buy some new shoes anyways.  BRING ON WEDNESDAY!!!

1 Day until Mid Tour

Well my last work day is in the books.  Tomorrow I head down to Busan to stay the night so I can catch my flight on Wednesday.  It's finally here and it felt like it took forever.  Now once I get home I need time to slow WAY down and the speed back up once I get back to Korea.  I got in my run today.  I was feeling a little sluggish during it but I endured and got through it.  I am going to run in the morning because who knows if I'll get to run again this week.  We'll see.  Until next time...

Well the weekend is upon us and I've finished up my last run for the week.  Next week will be a little tricky getting in my miles so I'll have to make due with what I can.  I think Monday and Tuesday will be the only days I'll be able to run next week BUT they up side is I'll be home with my family!  Bring on Tuesday and WEDNESDAY!!  Until next time...

Happy Birthday Big Brother!  I hope it's a great day for you.  Well the end of the week has arrived and everything is taken care of for me to start leave on Tuesday.  Everything came together at the last minute and now I have to make it through the weekend plus one more work day and then it will be a very nice month of rest and family time.  I can't wait.  I got in a run this afternoon which I was dragging just a little bit.  But nonetheless I got it in and I have one more run this week to finish up a pretty good week.  COME ON TUESDAY!!!

Well I finished up my last set of rail cars before I start my mid tour.  I don't think it would have been that bad today if it wasn't for the stupid wind.  That stuff cuts right through what ever you are wearing.  We are headed to Shabu Shabu for dinner tonight.  Since I'm headed home next week and MSgt Fry will be gone when I return he decided to have his going away before I left because he's cool like that.  I got in my run before Shabu Shabu because I won't be moving all that well after I eat all that great food.  Good friends make this place tolerable.  Until next time...

Well I'm officially a week away before I fly out.  If you can't tell I'm a little excited.  We are down to two tread mills here which is awesome...  sarcasm!  It's amazing when so much of our career is based on fitness yet we only have TWO amazing treadmills and it's the middle of winter, ice everywhere so we can't run outside...  Man this place sucks!  But we have 8 stationary bikes because that's important... sarcasm once again.  OK, I've got it out of my system.  Until next time...

Well we're getting closer and things seem to get a little tougher.  I'm having a little trouble getting everything squared away with my leave (I'm not in the system) and getting down to Busan (I don't have a ride at the moment).  I will get everything figured out even if I have to go down to Busan the day before and sleep outside the airport.  I'll make it happen.  I got in my first run of the week and I'm looking forward to duplicating last week.  Is this week over yet!  Until next time...

Another week in the books and I'm ready to move on to my last full week of work before I get to come home.  It should be a nice, quiet weekend.  I'm not trying to go outside unless I have to because it is freezing out there!  I got one more run this week and it will be a 6 day run week.  Good stuff.  Until next time...

It was cold today.  Now normally it wouldn't be so bad BUT we had rail cars today so I spent the first 4 hours of my day sitting on top of a rail car in the cold and wind.  It was yucky!  I survived and I only have to do one more set of rail cars before I get to come home.  I have to spin it in a positive light or else it will make me bitter because we're not even supposed to be filling rail cars.  Ho-hum, and life goes on.  I got in my work out today which makes me very happy because normally after climbing all over rail cars I am less than enthused to climb on a tread mill for an hour.  Onwards and upwards!!!

I'm officially under two weeks now.  I am starting to get excited but I'm keeping myself in check.  If I think about how close it is these next two weeks will feel like two years.  So I'm keeping myself busy with work and the gym...  But it IS getting close and I can't wait!!!  I got in a pretty decent workout today.  After my run I really didn't feel like lifting BUT since I'm only lifting 3 days a week I needed to get it in and I did.  Now I'm slothing around my apartment trying to find the energy to make me something to eat.  Go hard or go home right?!?  Until next time...

Well HELLO JANUARY!!!  I can finally say I'm coming home this month and that is exciting!  In case you're wondering how I come up with 14 days instead of 15 let me clarify.  I don't count the current day and I don't count the ACTUAL day I fly since that would technically be day 0.  Maybe I'm just clarifying it for myself because I get confused sometimes.  Today was a cardio day.  I'm sticking to lifting Mon, Wed, Fri. and running Mon-Sat.  That's the new years schedule as of right now.  I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.  As for myself, I'm glad it's over with and I get to go back to work to help these last couple of weeks fly by.  Until next time...
