To Whom It May Concern

Picking Up The Pace

I ran ladders today at the rec center at Offutt AFB. Basically ladders are running gradually rising increments of distances, then lowering increments. In this case, I ran a mile to warm up, then a 400, 800, mile, 800, 400. I was boogying on the first mile, probably faster than I should have, but I am competitive, and there were quite a few people out running, and I refuse to be beaten, heh.

I tossed in pushups, situps, and bicycle kicks, two sets of each, then 20 minutes on the bike, 10 minutes in the sauna. My run pace is picking up, I'll do a mock PT test for myself on Saturday, I'm giving some thought to purchasing some light racing distance shoes, they end up making the run a lot easier. My goals are as follows:

80 pushups in 2 minutes
100 situps in 2 minutes
2 mile run in 11:30

If I can hit those goals I'll be just fine for the PT test next weekend. I am equally worried about the pushups and the run, but we'll see how it goes. I'm getting really cut again, trim and muscular, the way I was in February before I got so sick. I'm also about 5 lbs heavier than I was then, because I'm doing way more upper body now. Next week I'm bringing out the 5 lb arm weights and wearing those while I run to further increase my stamina and strength.

In other news, got the cell phone bill today. Belly and I used more than 4500 minutes on our cell plan hahaha, talk about crazy!! Thankfully, no roaming minutes, the only charges were for our text messages (10 cents per, not bad) and then about 6 bucks each because we were dorks and downloaded our own ring tones. All in all, I'm very pleased with our new cell phone plan.

Time for bed

I only wanna see if your okay when I'm not around
asking if ya love me, I love the way you make it sound
calling you to see, do I try to hard to make you smile
