1500m swim, 40Km bike, and 10k run. Or for those in America... just under a mile swim, 22mile bike ride and a 5.5 mile run. We hold on tightly to the Imperial system, don't we?
Well just like my sister's blog started off about her and her running shoes, and she probably doesn't know when the last time she ran was... this blog started off to track my training for the Florida Ironman. But, that dream will have to be put on hold. It seems there is a war going on in Afghanistan and I am the only person in the world that can save the day. Sarcasm? So in about a month I will be, yet again, deploying but to Afghanistan this time. After this deployment I will have been to every front line the Marine Corps has. Iraq...check, Horn of Africa...check, Islamic terrorist cells in Indo-China...check, War in the pacific...check, Kuwait...check. I think the only thing I am missing is south america and no one really cares about SOUTHCOM right now. Oh but we will. Give it 10-15 years, and I guarantee South America will be the new Iraq... just guessing. But I digress.
So I am deploying in about a month and I will be there for six months. So there we are. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle... G.I. Joe!!
And tonight's random question...
What was your favorite childhood toy/tv show? Mine would be G.I. Joe or Thundercats. Although I have to admit, I had quite a collection of Transformers too. What say you?
PS: If you read this but don't provide input in the form of comments/answers to my questions then you suck.
