Thankfully the threat of a hurricane making landfall near here, which it isn’t, scared my employer into giving us the day off tomorrow. So, this week of production was nearly 100% wasted on preparing for a storm that isn’t and never really had a chance of actually hitting here. It is however, heading towards my hometown a few hours north of here. Again I am thankful that it is a very weak storm.
So, I have been going pretty hard on myself attempting to get into better shape. I had some comment last time I mentioned this, “that I already was in shape.” Yes I exercise a lot and I am in better shape then most people, but it isn’t quite good enough. With my job it is best that I stay in the best shape possible. I have to be able to keep up with a lot of young Soldiers and it is always a challenge. After that long and useless lead in I’ll tell you what, I am dying right now. Yesterday I ran just over 4 miles in my body armor after a night of little to no sleep. It put a hurtin’ on my body. At first it was mostly my hips, but that has subsided and now it’s focused mainly on my chins. I swam for an hour this morning and I believe that I have given myself a sinus infection. We do situps on the side of the pool and it fills our sinus cavieties up with water (It has a purpose that I wont go into here.) Anyway I think I didn’t exhale properly on one of them and now I shall pay for it over the next few days. In the end I will probably run a few miles this weekend just to keep everything going and to keep the chemicals flowing.
I have a huge issue I want to talk about, but I think it deserves it’s own post.
