I'm rather happy with myself. I managed to run 1.5 miles in formation today. I had to drop back a little bit, but never got back too far behind the platoon/battalion (it's technically supposed to be the latter, but it was in a formation for the former), and I finished with the rest of my shipmates.

I'm just out of shape/practice. I was lazy the whole summer. So yeah, at the moment, it's not too easy.Robert Treder wrote:1.5 miles? That was hard? What, were you doing 5-minute miles or something?
That, and I didn't properly hydrate beforehand.

You're at Annapolis, right? Doing that loop around the intramural fields and whatnot?

A good rule of thumb is if you urine isn't clear your not drinking enough in the heat.Howedar wrote:You're at Annapolis, right? Doing that loop around the intramural fields and whatnot?

Hahahahahahahahaha........He's an older Navajo man and he doesn't always make his point clear but he's a good man.(For all of you that have never seen these Navajo run, they're damn good.) The one I recall is the clearer your piss is, the better your off.

. Anyway you'll soon enough learn that runs like that are easy (after all in formation runs you can't keep a high pace since people fall out). The tough ones are indiviual effort timed runs, 'course I love running so it doesn't bother me. Nonetheless the other half of staying hydrated is to HEAVILY rehydrate for the next two days. A good PT session will actually dehydrate parts of your body for 2 days and the only way to replenish them is to pound water constantly. I say this because the common "I'm pissing clear, I'm OK" test doesn't indicate full rehydration during the day after a good PT session.

And you'd only be watching Navy/Marine and Army, actually. We start up at 0600, Army is later than us (they didn't start to show up in any real numbers and start anything we could see until 0645). Nobody knows what the Hell the Air Force does. Nobody's ever seen them PT before.

Why thanks for the compliment . Yes we runners just enjoy going out and working a good sweat, it really can do wonders to just cleanse the mind and the body. The months when I'm largely inactive (due to ice, snow, or too much work) are those when I'm most likely to slip back into depression.
