"Your mother wears combat boots"

went for a 1.3 mile walk in my new combat boots.  Yep, QP has her own pair.  I thought I could wear them 3 miles without breaking them in a couple of weeks ago and I've got blister scars to prove how wrong I was.

So today we went slow and I'm working on getting my feet tough & the shoes soft so I can use them on our ruck marches in the future.

It's hot & humid here.  Have I mentioned that yet this summer?

THE GOLDEN CALF 10K

Out here in Babylon, running with the Gentiles.  Good times, good times.

We went running through the fields (not really sure what kind).  Here's Wyatt:

and here's a little pond we found out in the fields:

Out early again with Wyatt.  We ran to the p-town blinky light & back.  There was an awesome dead raccoon in the grass on the side of the road- rigor-mortis had set it & he had his little paws straight up in the air zombie style.  I didn't get a photo, so I am hoping he'll still be there tomorrow.

Slow miles, but I'm not sure the heat is the best time to push.  I'm just maintaining a base until it cools off a little and I can take more than an hour at a time.  I got home and my humidity measuring device said it was 98% humidity and 72 degrees.

Very hot, but a little breeze now & then made it nicer than most other mornings this week that were cooler.

I took quick water & cool down breaks every 2 miles to keep from over heating.  It worked really well.  I feel like I could have run longer.  I also ran slower.  Avg pace was around 10:10.
