Ran a nice steady 8 miles today. Felt pretty good. I needed to clear my mind, so I just kept running until time was up.
My right knee has been bugging me a bit. Time to rehab.
7:56, 7:29, 7:27, 7:29, 7:17, 7:18, 7:20, 7:09 (59:30)
It was awesome...I ended up over by the F-15 hangars. Can't wait!

Pyramid, blisters
Today we did a pyramid again. Another new member! Kristen, used to play trumpet in the rock band, now in the brass quintet. Taylor, Bryan, Karl joined us, as well as Ed and Colleen for the 2nd time.
The workout:
1-10-1 Pullups
x2 Pushups
x3 Situps
Totals: 100 Pullups, 200 Pullups, 300 Situps
Everyone did awesome! I got blood blisters under my palm calluses. Fun stuff!
I had planned a running workout, but everyone was too tired. So Taylor and Karl ran a warmup mile, then Taylor felt dizzy, so I made him quit. Karl and I did two 400m dashes x 400m jog.

2nd time is easier
Have you noticed the 2nd time is always easier? The learned response of tissues I suppose, whether it be physical, mental, etc.
Today, we did a bit more than last Thursday's workout, and although it was tough, it wasn't as bad.
Taylor, Bryan, and Neff joined me for the PT, then Taylor and I went on an easy 3 mile run to the Missing Man Memorial and back. We had a lively discussion about martial arts and hard body training. The funniest part of the run was when Taylor's midsection got in a stitch from working the abs so hard, then running and trying to talk.
Bryan finally listened to me and started ice massaging.
PT:
2x7 all Pullups (regular, wide, close, reverse, mountain) 70 total
2x15 Pushups (diamond, regular, wide, dive bombers) 120 total
2x15 Dips
3x30 Arm Haulers
2x25 each neck 100 total
Monster Situp Workout 660 total
The only thing that really sucked was the diver bombers. Not cool. My deltoids and triceps were so traumatized that the dips were tough.

15
Yesterday I went for a nice tempo run on Hickam. Didn't plan on it, but I started out kind of fast, so just decided to keep it up. Felt great! Nice, overcast, and a bit breezy. Perfect.
7:00, 6:53, 6:50, 6:25, 6:36, 6:45 (40:31)
Only saw three other runners, none of whom were Abby's brother.
I had a massage last night for the first time in a year. It was awesome!!!!! I waited WAY too long.
Today, I kind of felt like I was undoing the relaxation during my workout this morning, but I'll just go back in a week or two. I went over to Taylor's...he's the most dedicated, so we decided to do stuff on the weekends too.
Supersets. He increased his reps to 10. Did fantastic. After 10 sets, I was feeling good, and he was feeling good enough, so we did 5 more. Felt great! I'm finally getting back into shape!
Finished with 5 8-count bodybuilders.
30 minutes: 450 Pushups and Situps
Then we ran an easy 3.2 miles on some rolling hills. Nice day, rainy and cool.

Call Sign
Just a thought. Everyone in the band keeps asking me what I'll have for my call sign at flight school. I'm under the impression that it's just kind of given to me.
Your thoughts and input?
Here's what has come up at the band hall: "Prince Charming, Wolf, Badass, Twinkle Toes, Airwolf, AntonAnton, Frenchie, Ensign"
I don't get Twinkle Toes. You shouldn't either. ;-)
