11:12a - The only thing I have complete control over now is PT 
Today marks 300 days out. Holy cow! where has the time gone? it feels like just last week i was a full year away.

Work is exceedingly frustrating right now because the new BC is all about timelines and status reports and now now now...and I can do at this moment is sit on my ass and wait for people to call me back or email me or whatnot. There isn't anything I can do to alleviate the situation either. So I'm just a trifle wiggy.

Yeah...been doing a lot of PT lately to offset it all. Climbed 3500 feet on the stair climber this morning at near max / max grading. That took a little over 45 minutes. 

Yeah...PT...The only thing I have complete control over now is PT. PT will get me through this. PT

Ten points if you can spot the reference in that one.

I'm planning a 60 lb, 8 miler, with about a 2000 foot segment on the stairs at the end. That'll be either tonight or tomorrow depending on how bad I need to vent after this article 15 with the BC today. 

Yeah...PT.

8:28p - Hike #5 
Distance: 8 miles
Elevation Change: 1150 ft
Time of Day: 1630
Temperature: 70-75F
Humidity: 75
Water Consumed: 30 ozs
Weight: 60 lbs
Time: 2 hours 35 minutes (including stairs)

Well 60 lbs felt like a feather after tuesdays debacle...for all of about 1/2 mile i suppose. then it was back to the same old same old.

This ruck march was *tiring*. Doing PT this morning, working all day, THEN moving out for 8 miles...yeah that's different.

I got on the stair climber at the gym and I couldn't do any more than fifty flights at the middle setting (i don't do patterns of hills or anything...i just get on and continue at an incline) before I had to stop for a couple minutes. Even after that I couldn't do any more than another fifty flights. I *wanted* to do twice that but I was pushing my limits as it was. At least now I have a goal to shoot for. Before today I hadn't been beaten myself down badly enough to miss my target.
