Gains and Losses
Saturday we had an FTX (field training excercise) basically get all kitted up and tromp around the woods playing soldier with all the other soldiers. Kind of stupid.
After that I went for a 30 mile bike ride
Sunday I wasn’t feeling so good so I just went for a 3 mile run to try and get the endorphines flowing, ended up feeling worse.
Woke up even more sick Monday morning, e-mailed Master Sergeant Bolden that I would miss PT, and updated him on my week’s workouts.
MSG Bolden says I’m over training and that’s why I got sick. I don’t know but I took yesterday off and didn’t do anything, maybe some pushups and core exercises, but not much, and it was the worst day I’ve had for a while. I’m actually a little worried that the only thing keeping me going is the endorphine high I get from working out, because otherwise I feel depressed, extremely depressed. Need to stop ignoring problems hoping they will go away on their own.
Fitness is a marathon, not a sprint.
Goals
I said yesterday I was going to put in 20 miles on the bike.
So I did 25.
Hooah.
Humanity has built enough roads to cover the distance from the earth to the moon over 80 times*.
* This value will change - Wolfram|Alpha calculates the moon’s current distance from the Earth, which varies as it moves through its monthly orbit.

it’ll change your life, I swear.”
Damn, this just took me back to every moment I have seen this movie
