Speed work pays off at last

Well after doing this almost every week for over a year, I am finally beginning to see some benefit. Last week I did my fastest 400 ever at 1:34 and this week I skimed off another second to make 1:33. My goal is to get below 90 seconds before we leave on June 19. I also cut my 800 time down to 3:35.


When I get to Italy I will join the base running club, which I understand is focussed on trianing for the Army 10-miler, so it should be a good work out. Also I am looking forward to spending my days at work out classes - there is one called body combat which sounds fun.

Good News: Bad News

Good News - GBOF is being promoted to Colonel.

Bad News - I have to start behaving like a Colonle's wife!

Good News - we are no longer going to Fort Leavenworth in June, as original suggested.

Fantastic News - we are going to Vicenza, Italy for 3 years.

WOO-FRICKIN'-HOO!!!!
