Sore. Still Sore. Yep, I'm sorer.

I don't think sorer is a word, but it suited my purpose. You see, lately I've been surrounded by college athletes and ROTC cadets who are constantly running, weight lifting, and other fun exercises. And I've really wanted to join them but at this point I plod, not run. And not even that-it's been too hot when I normally run and there really isn't any other time for me to run. (This summer we're buying a treadmill.) So I've been walking. And watching the beautiful athletes zip by me. And I was getting frustrated and somewhat depressed that I still have 5 months left before that beautiful freedom. So, since I'm trying to focus on positive things (esp. about Las Cruces, since I'm here for 4 years. So far I've come with "I like going to school." At least it's a start :) I decided that I would start working weight lifting since it's something I still can do without much hindrance. And I pulled out my Cathe Friedrich videos. In case y

Pictures from the formal

I(Dammerung) am the ugly guy in green :P. Wulfa looks pretty hot though.

AFPT today.

Pushups 26 reps score of 46 Situps 27 reps score of 41 Run 18:44 score of 41 Total score: 128.... last time was a 77 I'm pleased. The run was actually faster but both my shoelaces came undone and I had to stop and tie them. Pushups didn't improve almost at all. I really need to work on that. Thanks everyone who has given me moral support over the last few months. It really cheers me. Hope things are going well in Azeroth.

Races

http://www.bataanmarch.com/ This is the race Wulfa is talking about. Both of us plan on doing this next year. The NMSU ROTC host this every year. I plan on posting pictures of me and Wulfa wearing our formal gear as soon as I get them emailed from my mother. PT test wednesday. So I'll give updated stats on my 2mile run speed and the rest of my PT things. For those who care.

Bataan Society Dinner

This past Saturday Damm's ROTC group held their semi-annual Bataan Society Dinner. All the cadets get suited up in their formal military outfit-still green, they haven't gotten the new army blues-and their dates do likewise. I had my Angelina-Jolie-whilst-pregnant-outfit on, i.e. the flowing style. Can wear the dress while skinny or enormously pregnant. I think my mother-in-law has a picture somewhere ..... Anyway, MIL let me borrow her fur jacket. Real fur jacket. She didn't actually buy it, it was a gift from a rather wealthy old lady. I was a bit worried about wearing it because the dinner was at the college campus and college kids are usually the idealistic ones AND the ones willing to throw ketchup on you for wearing dead animals, but nothing untoward occurred. That coat was really, really soft, in case you wanted to know. I couldn't stop petting it. I guess that sounds kind of weird. Really warm, too. I don't think I've ever worn a better-insulated coat. E
