Limits

October 10th, 2007 by rsm

just saying… I might have found a temporary barrier, but in today’s episode of “What In the Hell Was I Thinking?” I may have made a little mistake.

See, I’m running fast for my age, but one of my elites challenged me. Now I know better but I decided to try to shave a little time off. Without warming up properly I managed to run 6:10 miles.

And I am paying the price. Iboprofin is my friend.

Tomorrow I head off for another Army physical and more security questioning. I intend to hide the limp as much as possible. Just a hamstring. Nothing special…. mmmm… ham…. hungry…

And this weekend, yet another Army Physical Fitness Test… with my new unit. I swear someone is calling around getting people to schedule these things when I come around. I’m only supposed to do one every 6 months and counting my final one in Basic, I will have completed 6 in 3 months by the time October is over.

I think that’s a bit much.

    Holy crap! I think they ARE calling around! But you’ll kick butt on this one too :)

    Good grief! Get some Bio-Freeze too… That stuff is magic for sore muscles.

    Six fitness tests in three months? That DOES seem like a bit much.

    so, they may be pushing it a bit much, but how much more admirable that you can take it and still pass with flying colours..

    I think they’re secretly videotaping you for training videos…
