  • 13.1(or 13.28, according to my Garmin... either way was in 1:38) so far today, might do a little more later.
  • What's the weather like? That could very well be a factor. For example, I can run 15+ without thinking about it if the weather is 65F or lower, but when it hits 85F+ I can barely run 4 miles without feeling a little worn out and, at the very least, needing a water break. If not the weather, are there hills? Uneven pavement…
  • Agreed. You're going to Parris Island to learn to be a Marine, not to get in shape. You should already be fit so you won't be struggling, unless you plan to make your stay longer and end up in PCP. At least that's what our recruiters tell us all the time, lol.

  • I'm almost always hungry after a workout* and typically take some fruit or a protein bar with me when I go to the gym/PT/a race to munch on while driving home. * depends on what you define as a workout though. Like, running 2 miles won't make me hungry, but 6 or more will tend to do it. 15 minutes of just about anything…
