You Need Me On That Wall!: 56:30

56:30

I'm getting ready for my first 10K race. I ran race distance last night, 6.2 miles and did it in under one hour, 56:30. That's my goal for the race, under one hour.

That's a pretty slow time for serious runners, but I'm not a serious runner. I'm not really a runner at all, I have to run for my Army physical fitness test. Once I retire, I'll probably quit. Take up biking to stay in shape, it's easier on the joints.

This is the race: The Bolder Boulder. Wish me luck.

Have a great race!

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. ...my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
