Work on running paying off

So I have been putting in a considerable amount of time and effort in running this year.  For the most part, I have been getting in early morning runs and I did some statistics on it.  In the last month, I put in 60 miles in the last month where the average run distance was about 6~ miles.

Well today I found it has been paying off.  The 2 mile run I did for the Army physical fitness test ended with a finishing time of 14:20 seconds. While this is fast and I am thrilled to see such progress, I still have some work to get to the point of beat a personal record (PR). For those that are interested, the time to beat is 12:05 or faster.  That time was done in ~ 1992.  Its possible but it will take a great amount of work.

Very long over due and new hobby

I have been away from posting for quite some time.  Things are going well with work and I am busy with the work load.  This weekend I had a 8 K (about 5 mile) run in the nearby town of Bonita and I did pretty well with placing around 42:29.  Not bad.

Ireland visit (for work)

My work sent me out to Ireland and it was a great experience.  I got to work again with a great co-worker, Rob, and met some really great people at the business I visited in the course of my work.  (And it was awesome to say that one time I got to visit Dublin, Ireland once in my life.)  I had to do an incredible amount of work while on the case and I also got a chance to learn some very interesting about things about the Linux HISTORYTIMEFORMAT variable.
