Running Accomplishments:

Just recently returned from Iraq with the Army National Guard. While over there I participated in the Army Ten Miler and various other small races.  In Iraq I began logging my miles to have something to look back at. In my 12 months there I logged just over 500 miles.  May not be much but its a start on my end. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

San Diego Rock'n Roll Marathon, may be Tucson Marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

To make running a lifestyle not something you do when your young.  I want to be the "Grandpa" you see at various 5K's..

Personal:

Ok so Im in the Army National Guard, Paramedic as a civilian.  Previously a "Boarde Rat" from Douglas,I moved to Tucson in 1998 to go to school.  I graduated from the U of A in 2003 with a BS in Molecular and Cellular Bio and from Pima with an Associates in Paramedicine in 2006. I love outdoors stuff and Mariachi music.  I think that about somes me up in a nutshell.

This morning I had an Army PT test.  I was tested in running, pushups and situps.  For push ups I had a total of 70 in 2 min and 63 for sit-ups. I felt I should have done better in the situps but I guess thats room for improvement.  My 2 mile I made a 13:45 and I definitely have room for improvement there but all in all it went ok.  Then this evening I had to miss BPR's practice to be with the new niece that was born yesterday.  My brother had his first baby girl, so I am now an uncle agian.  After all this I ruined the day's workout (or celebrated  depending on your perspective)  with a nice banana split from DQ.  NICE!!

Great Job Robert! What was your overall score for your PT Test? 13:45 is great, your goal was to break 14:00 right?

Keep up the good work and glad to see you are doing well and welcoming a new memebr to your family.

Congrats on the uncleship! Good job also with the PT test, I would be celebrating with those numbers and it would be a lot more that a single banana split! Keep it up!
