Another late night made it hard to escape the gravitational pull of the rack this morning.

Football game didn't go well tonight.  We won but we played like crap.  Plus, I had a pretty bad fall and got a little road rash.  I've had worse but it's still uncomfortable as heck.

Early morning mission (0200) meant sleeping through my morning run.  I have a long run scheduled so I will do my best to get it in later this evening.  That half-mary is right around the corner. :)

I'm sitting in the DFAC and I see a guy in an Air Force uniform and say to myself, "That looks exactly like a classmate of mine from high school."  After a while, he gets up and walks past me and I see that his last name is the name of the guy I'm thinking of.  I stick out my hand and say, "Excuse me, but are you..." and he goes into complete shock.  Turns out that this TSgt (Air Force guy) and I graduated the same year.  He's spent the last 18 years in the AF and I...well...came by a different route.  We spent about 15 minutes or so just catching up sharing stories about fellow classmates and just really being stunned by the coincidence.  Truly amazing...almost spooky.

I tweaked my back doing my weight training this morning.  I don't get injured swimming, biking, or running (knock on wood) but I seem to have a propensity for getting hurt while lifting.  Either I throw around too much weight or I  have bad form or something.  I have a mission that may prevent me from swimming this afternoon but I really hope not.  I think a nice long swim would loosen my back.

I'm done with weight training for a while...

Great run today!  My 1600m repeats were supposed to be in 7:18 but I was able to push just a bit more.  I could really feel the burn at the last but I felt like I could have done another repeat or two.

Results from Sunday's biathlon are out so I posted my RR.  Improvements from March: 5 sec. faster per 100m (with 300m added) and 5 sec. faster per mile on the run (same distance).  Not too shabby.  Now, if I could just get a decent lap counter to improve my transitions, that would be GREAT!  See RR for details...
