When will then be now?

Soon....

My time here at 29 Palms is drawing closer to the end. My unit is going through the portion of training known as FINEX or the "final exercise." Talk about madness - take all of the events of a 7 month deployment to a place like "Super Cancun" and compress them into a 72 hour window. I'd like to call it learning by the fire-hose method.

I had yet another Turkey Day away from home - And what I need to do is publicly thank by wife for being as strong as she is and handling my long periods away from home as well as she does. There is no job harder than being a military spouse. So, publicly, Thanks Honey.

Speaking of Turkey Day? Anyone out there run in their local Turkey Trots? The Dragon did a ten-miler and did well considering her running related injuries. Which I'm sure will lead to the question - why is she running? She like most of us who frequent these blogs has the bug and, regardless if she wants to admit it or not she has become a runner.

Nothing too sexy from me regarding training out here - minimum distance on the runs, still drinking the kool aid that is cross fit.

December 9th is fast approaching and with that so is the Honolulu Marathon - am I ready? Sure. Will I do it as fast as I want to? Maybe...I'll be sure to document the whole process anyway.

When I get back to Hawaii I'll be working on my very short race list for next season to include but not limited to the H.U.R.T. , a few 5 and 10ks and maybe the Great Aloha if I'm lucky

And as soon as you know it the year will be over and we will have passed then....when? Just now.

Today, tomrrow and the next couple days of training:

maybe a few miles...we'll see.
