Like all the running your doing lol. Never going under 4 miles is one of my goals but I haven't gotten here yet though not because I can't I usually just stop at around 3.5 lol.

I don't know how you keep going through all that conditioning. I have a feeling it would kill me lol.

I meant to ask you about the slugs?

I've found Smuckers natural peanut butter, the peanut butter with honey in it, that doesn't have some fancy word, (when I remember it I'll post it) to be helpful, eating like 3-5 peanut butter sandwhich's a day, helps gain weight, tastes good to, corse anything taste good now....slugs...still have nightmares over that.

Did you eat them at one point? I think you could have found a slightly more appetizing bug, or at least not so slimy!

[wolf555]

   Yea, they are about the most disgusting thing you can eat. I do a lot of survival training, so I usually end up eating stuff other people would never think is food. your would be surprised what you could eat that's actually good for you but you would never consider eating. Once got dared to eat a praying mantis, one word of advice, always tear off the head and pinchers otherwise its a rough ride down haha.
   The conditioning is nothing, it's hard at first but after a while you just learn not to care, its a means to an end. It's gonna burn, it's gonna hurt, your gonna be tired, it's gonna suck no way around it, just "embrace the suck". Running, just like calathenics, is a mental game. When your mind tells you your to tired, your to hot, your running to fast, you just tell your mind to shut the heck up. The human body can take just about anything, it's the mind that is weak. Control the mind, and you control the body. Don't set limits, that only limits your potential, I've seen a 180lbs man out lift 300lbs+ strongman, heck they go to him to train with, I train with him also. The first day I went he toke me outside to these tires and said "here, flip this 550lbs tire to the other side of the parking lot" I didn't know how I was gonna get that thing flipped. Now, I weigh between 137-140, I can flip that thing across the parking lot and back all day. I got a little saying I live by, it's taught me a ton:
   "When your hope's gone, when you have nothing left, not one ounce of strength, not one ounce of energy. When there's no chance of winning, when no one would blame you for just laying down and dieing, when you don't "have to" keep going, that's when you find out who you are."

And also "That that doesn't kill you, only makes your harder". Oh and the word with the peanut butter, its made with no hydrogenated oils I'm told that's good, and makes it taste better or something. I guess the slugs are made with a lot of hydogenated  oils. I'll post my workout later when I get done with it, gonna be kinda a light day.

[wolf555]

trained at Primal Fitness yesterday. I can do kongs now, also did a wall up and a kong in full ABUs, thats one step down just a little more practice and I can start adding gear to those wall ups

[wolf555]

Well things are going horrible here, just got reclassed into the worst job possible, this screws up my career extremely bad. The new squadron i'm in can only be described as organized chaos, they waste so much time here it's sad, then they say the only time they can find to do PT is at 0330 in the morning, and they won't let us go to sleep until 2230, thats 10:30pm for you civilian folks. And what they call "PT" is what I call half a warm up, not even worth getting up that early to do. So I started this day off with 4 hours of sleep, will be like that for the next 70 days (I somehow went from a battlefield career field to an admin, not sure how that happened, I know some idiot in medical screwed my records up and ended up getting me DQed from any Spec Ops jobs, like what I was in training for, I miss Medina like crazy right now.) Now I have to wait 4 years to re enter a SOF. I know nothing about this careerfield except that it requires a lot of advanced math, which I suck at so I will probably end up failing this tech school, if that happens I'm discharged, My year just got better and better, In the mean time there putting these little sissys that are quiting on the first day into Spec Ops, I never quit when I was in, they had to forcefully kick me out and they won't let me back in what the heck. I'll be able to start back doing PT tomorrow. Will post then.

[wolf555]

This new squadron I'm in has taught me how to hate with every fiber of my being, We're basicly on duty 20 hours off 4, then rinse and repeat. We finally caught a break, and I have some idiot running up and down the hall in my dorms kicking off the walls screaming parkour. Some how I'm still getting four hours of training in a day. I'm going to bed, I swam today, I don't know how far and I don't really care. Tomorrow (I was suppost to do this Monday but my SGT screwed my building over, where the only ones that didn't get released for the day till 7:20, and we're not allowed to sleep till 11:30pm) is chest and stuff.

[wolf555]

I didn't get to do PT today either, for the first time in my life I'm ticked off. I'm never mad, no one has been able to do it, the cadre torchering me on team for 8 hours a day couldn't do it, but this stupid piece of crap squadron did it... I had got invited to train with some PJs today to....I had to miss it for a "briefing" which was basicly the SGT repeating the same stupid speech for the 15th time, to the same group he has said it to 15 times before. If I don't get to do PT tomorrow I'm gonna flip out.
