I'm halfway through the two strenuous weeks of exercises. I managed to survive Exercise DiamondLink & the Army Half Marathon. It was a Half Half Marathon for me. I only ran 12 km. I don't think I could have made it if I had to run 21km. Missing all those Battalion Runs wasn't such a good idea after all. I managed to complete the stupid run in 1 and a half hours. Not fantastic. Especially when you compare it to the Kenyan looking guy who came in first in the competitive 21km run. I think his timing was about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Thats so fast, I can't even imagine it.

Had a talk with the cell (ie. Jeremy and Alicia) last night over a wonderful supper at Blooie's. I'm so relieved that they understood my situation and my busy schedule. They even offered to help out if they could. Thank God for that.

This coming week would be a slightly easier one. I get to stay out this entire week. I'm attached to the IKC2 showcase at Stagmont camp. Praying for good weather. I don't want to be baked in the parade square.
