Adventure of A Jawa

That was my time for the 1.5 mile today.

It’s the best I’ve ever done so far.

In May I was pumping out at 14:00 plus. The result of slacking off all winter long

Last year’s PT test I pumped out 11:36. Sometime in October I test again, so I might do even better.

The only thing is I currently run at the HS track; but not sure if it is allowed for the PT test. Trying to find out where the PT test is run. If it’s where I think it is at, the same place we do Squadron PT then I will be mega bummed. The place has Start-Turnaround-finish marked.

I have always done way better when I can pace myself. Free running like that place would make me do is only going to make me worse. I have got to find out where we can go do it.

My long term goal is to get to sub 10:00. Only time can tell if my body can get me there. It’s getting old and many years of not taking care of it to overcome.

It has finally stopped raining. Last night around 6pm it turned to a light sprinkle. I took the chance not knowing if it would stay that way and went jogging. By the time I was finished jogging it completely stopped. And to this point it has not rained. Although now it looks like it could start again. That is fine as long as it stops by tomorrow afternoon. Already got a bike ride in today.

And on another topic. Up until now I did not mind the time difference (Plus 13 to Eastern US), but it is annoying now. With it being football season and 80% of the games being during the day Eastern Time it ends up being AM for me. Therefore, if I want to watch football I have to stay up all night. Not easy to do when you have to work the next day.

It is going to make it a long couple of months for me.

Since this past Saturday it’s done nothing but rain expect one day; Monday. I don’t mind rain so much, but when you have to walk everywhere or bike rain just makes it horrible. We get issued rain gear, but it’s a catch-22. It does its job with keeping the rain out, but it doesn’t let you breathe so you sweat and get just as wet as if you didn’t wear it. What else can you do?

It also messes with my Jogging. I’ve done it in the rain before (Many times), in fact this morning we had squadron physical training and ended up jogging in the rain; but it just annoying more then anything.

And, I just spend 100 bucks to get my bike serviced, and I want to ride it. They put a new chain on it and greased/oiled the bearings. In the short time I got to ride it; it made a huge difference. So much smoother and manageable vs. what it was. Plus I can shift gears again .

Not bad considering the bike is over 6 years old and I haven’t done the maintenance like I should have. I do plan to stay on top of it this time.

So yeah, the moral is… it needs to stop raining.

Yet another month come and gone and for me they are not going bye fast enough.

26 movies watched during August. Most of the month was dominated by Lost and 24.

For me it seems like 24 is getting repetitive but I will still watch the last season I have. I might as well knock it out.
