Tonight I ran my first true 2 miles, at least according to google maps. I have been getting closer, but I thought I was only going about 6 miles an hour (20 minutes to run 2 miles). Tonight I took my stop watch as well and I did it in 16.5 minutes! I did the first mile in about 7.75.

My long term goal is to run 2 miles in 13 minutes (100 points getting into national guard). I guess that will come a lot sooner than i expected.

    I don't know if I will go into the guard, but I like the idea of being "military" fit. The most tempting thing about it is that they would pay off all of my student loans and since I should have my masters in a year I would be able to move up the ranks fairly quickly. I also know that they are looking for people in my area, computer science, so I know it would also be great on the job training. But I also have a wife to think about. I have almost a year to think about it, many things can happen between now and then.
