I was going to run on Monday, but it was ahhh, raining. I have a strict policy about running in the rain: It is bad for you, so I don't do it. I just went to the gym and hit the eliptical trainer for an hour. Tuesday, I knocked out a medium speed 8 miler. I ran from the headquarters building, through 3d SFG and hit the trail to the Nuke Site. The Nuke Site is a traditional run here on FT Bragg, the actual site is where they stored nuclear rounds for the 82d Airborne Division and 18th Airborne Corps during the Cold War years. When they stopped doing that they turned the site over to the Emergency Ordnance Disposal (EOD) company here on Bragg. It is almost exactly 2 miles from 3d SFG.
Once I got to the Nuke Site, I turned up onto MacRidge and went a couple of more miles, turned around and came on back. Pretty fair run, I did another negative split, finishing off the last four miles really strong. When I checked the ForeRunner it told me 7:25 pace for the 8 miles. On the way out, I averaged just over 7:40, so those last 4 were smoking fast, which is always fun. My next run will be some intervals on the Polo Field track tomorrow morning.
Kitty T, my real estate agent, has kicked in a good donation and John C's Church Choir Group is actively collecting, I may just break 1,000 bucks. Thanks!
