Are they nuts? I know you have to train but something more reasonable wouldmake more sense to me.

Guess they will allow the Afgans to prepare some more local food for all of you. I would imagine that it would be a very nice change from the usual.

I'm just glad they didn't decide to run all the way around the base. The road around the base is actually 8 miles long.
Besides, it was a slow run, more of a morale booster with cadence singing/calling.

5k's only 3.1 miles. He probably did that running backwards, eating BBQ and calling cadence all at the same time. Big Grin

Actually, I had BBQ in one hand, a "near beer" (no alcohol) in the other, AND calling cadence while running backwards. hilarious
