When I ran with my brother our long run was typically 6 or 7 miles our average was 4 or so and short runs were 3.
We ran lots of 5k and 10k and he talked me into a 1/2 marathon. Did it right at 2 hours. By no means fast.
He’s done a couple of marathons.
When I was in basic we rappelled Medicine Bluff/ Geronimo’s Cliff.
I watched a drill sergeant do it Australian Style. |
There are days I really regret my goal... but I'm not going to give up. I've only run one 5k (I won the age group) but I've never run a marathon. Mostly I'm trying to prove a point to myself. I guess I'm kind of hard-headed.
I used to be a rappel master. Australian was my favorite style. I'd give my trainees a heart attack by coiling 25-35 feet of slack and running off the edge of the tower or cliff.
But I remember being terrified the first time I ever tried it. I miss those days sometimes.
By the way - Ft. Sill - were you a gun bunny, by chance?
