Duty Calls

Well, the talk or rumor of a possible deployment ends now. My unit got the official order to deploy. I'm heading for the sandbox for the 3rd time. I will be leaving very shortly. All I can say is that this day next week I will most likely be in a country you hear about each day in the media. I can assure you that the running shoes will be packed. I'm not sure how much running I'll be able to put in, but I hope it is some. If I'm lucky I may be able to run a few fun races while deployed like I did the last couple rotations.

For now, I say so long. Thanks to all who have visited this site. It's been a great pleasure being a part of the running blog-land. My blog will still be here, but I most likely will not update it till I get back (whenever that is). Good luck to everyone in 2007. Run hard, run smart.

Wayne, I'm so glad you got to Rocket City before this came up. I've enjoyed following your progress and I look forward to hearing more when you are able. Stay safe.

Duty calls...very sorry to hear that. Stay in touch if you can, and stay safe. We'll be thinking about you and awaiting your return to blogland

And don't forget to check your shoes for scorpions before heading out on a run!

Take care of yourself and your Soldiers. I'll keep checking your blog hoping that you might have the occasion to update it once in a while.

Best of luck and hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones to find a training opportunity over there.
Where I was there is a three mile loop and at 0300 it kept me sane and cool from going nuts on the mills.

Still thinking about you out here in blogland. Hope you are well.

We're still out here, Wayne! I hope you're well, whatever desert or mountain you have your tent pitched on.

Drop us a line when you have the inclination or opportunity. Take care.
