Monday, August 12, was a comp day for me due to all the late night WWQ gigs we've been having. I stayed up late on Sunday, so I spent the day sleeping and reading and feeling a tiny bit guilty about not going to work.

Wednesday, August 14th, work, work, work. Did I mention that I work? For PT in the morning, we went down to the "track" to do a practice 2 mile run for the APFT. I did mine in a hair under 17 minutes which is not bad, though I'd love to get it down to 16 minutes at some point. In the morning we had concert band which was fun - we are getting ready for our big concerts in September. It was nice to get to play with my good bocals! It was a day of packages for me as well - definitely feeling the birthday love! Though, I wish I could be home...

Thursday, August 15th, I got the morning off from PT (due to my APFT the next day). We went over basic training in the morning and then drill band - I somehow ended up marching in the front row which is not my usual place! Luckily for an actual ceremony I won't ever have to do that!

Friday, August 16th, started with an APFT. I was extremely nervous since I hadn't been working on my pushups as much as I really should have been... but I ended up with a 251. Not a perfect 300, but better than my last test and definitely better than I was expecting! In the morning, I did paperwork for training then did some cleaning for details since most of my squad was gone for the day. In the afternoon, I went with some coworkers to return training gear and get the mail. That night, I met up with Carter and another band member to get a beer at the Navy Club, but we called it an early night.

Saturday, August 17th, I rolled out of bed early for a Saturday and trotted down to Collier Field House where the "Hot Summer Day" 10k was suppose to start. Due to road construction/potholes/sinkholes/I have no idea, the 10k got turned into a 5k. Online the last post run, there was only one other "band" person who came and ran with me - one of my SSG's husband. I took it pretty easy for a 5k since my hipflexors were sore from the day before and I ended with a time of 28:15. Only 4 minutes behind the fastest female and 10 minutes behind the fastest male. Got a t-shirt and some popcorn out of the deal. Afterwards, I lazed about for a bit, reading and napping, then I went and got a lesson in playing pool at the navy club. Then I went and saw "We're the Millers" at the post theater - I laughed so hard at some points! Then I read more... can you see the pattern? I got to skype with a friend before bed which was a great way to go to bed smiling.

Sunday, August 18th, was another lazy day. I woke up, read for a bit, skyped with Aubrey, then went to the commisary for groceries. It wasn't terribly crowded like it normally is on Sundays and there were multiple cabs waiting outside when I got done - a first!!! Then I putzed around for the day - reading and doing laundry. Skyped with friends and family for a few hours then made myself a delicious pre-birthday dinner - steak with a onion, cream and blue cheese sauce, baked sweet potato and garlic bread, plus a beer. Not bad if I do say so myself!
