Today was a tempo run, I ran a slow mile to warm up, picked it up to my tempo pace (6:57/mile) and maintained that pace for 7 miles, then finished off with another slow mile.
MAJ L ran with me for a while, he is the one that is organizing the USASOC Boston Marathon team, pretty good guy, very energetic. We ran from the HQs building (met at the statue of Bronze Bruce, left). For those into trivia, Bronze Bruce's real name is SFC I SERVE, and his foot is standing on a rock with a snake underneath it. He has been the symbol of Special Forces since Vietnam, pretty cool statue.
After the run, I was pretty worn down, I like that feeling. It lets me know that I had a good run. We ran through the 3d SFG (A) area, hit Chicken Road where we picked up the tempo pace. Stayed on Chicken Road until McRidge road where we turned and ran down by the ranges. Some pretty fierce hills, which is good for Boston Training. The hill there almost rival the sisters on Longstreet.
Sam update: I visited Sam at lunch today, he was pretty well stoned, but looking much better. They gave him a bath, which I know he hates, but he looked good. Both of his ears were stitched back up, his leg was stitched back up, I didn't get to see his chest, which was where most of the damage was done. He didn't really recognize me, must have been the drugs. Dr. F says he is doing just fine, I will bring him home tomorrow.
