Active Rest Day

I will be standing in my Army retirement ceremony in the a.m., so I took it easy tonight.

12 minutes of DU work, and a quick half mile jog.

I got off my tail and did get an awesome run in this morning.

Endurance

4.01 miles in 36:50

I was pleasantly surprised that I managed that pace since I haven't run in a while. I hate being lame......My lungs and mind want to run like the wind but my body doesn't want to cooperate

I need to look more into cycling because my joint cannot take much more pounding after all the running I've done in the military.
