C30 rollin' down the strip. . .

Today is a rainy, cold, listen to the Cure and think about all the hearts I've broken kind of day. But that is not what I did. I consumed 50g of protein in powder form at 1015, and popped two of Advocare's "Thermo Plus". Trained a new client in her home, dropped the Van off for an earl change, and then ran 2.7 miles on a different stretch of east-west highway. I figured 'twould be much harder as the hills were nasty, gradual, and LONG. Much to my surprise, I straight up bent that hill over and did the dance. Why this run was easier I think I know (I have been running these last three weeks and has begun to get easier), but check this: right at the end of the run, a car with two Marines in Dress Blue Alphas rolls up next to me honking the horn and pointing like I'm on fire. It was my recruiter SSGT. BIlbrey and another SGT. from the recruiting office. Looking back, if they had found me in the middle of the course I plotted I would have shaved a full minute off my time. But with hills and at a bodyweight of 275+ I came in at 24:12. Not bad. Whether the USMC accepts me for reenlistment or not, I am running my self down to 260. Have some.
