Bobby B.

Well, my buddy came back, this week, from a different FOB.  I forgot what it was like to train with a partner.  I’ve noticed I am eating more and running less.  Other than that, it’s been going well.  He’s stronger than me, so he really pushes me to lift more.  I can also put more weight on the bar since I have a spotter. 

 Beach time is coming up in about three months.  I’m gonna bulk a little for the next two months until I leave Iraq.  Then I’ll cut and tan the first month I return home.  Then I’ll be ready to hit the beach with a better physique and more color than previous times.   

So, today was a 2 mile run day.  I have been prepping for it for a while.  A couple of weeks ago we had a scheduled fitness test, but it had rained the night before.  So, I basically ran a 14:30 two mile in the mud.  I had planned to test out the two mile on my own today.  I wake up and look outside to find that there’s a dust storm over us.  Boo.  I trek on and think that I’ll probably do better since the ground was hard and dry.  No dice, I ran a 14:27.  And this time I felt like I had a pretty strong run, too.  I’m going to keep up what I’m doing and hope that we’ll have a clear day on my next try.  I should be able to run a 14:00 flat, on a good day.  My goal is to come in under 13:50 before I leave this place…  I think it’s very possible.  We’ll see.

Things are looking up though, I had chocolate soy milk this morning.
