Heck of a week.  Did a little swimming, biking, and running.  The 24-hour Adventure Trail Run was fun and served as a great final race before moving to NC.  I got some bro time with Alex, Scott, Dave, Jack, and Snipes.  Kari and Eli even made an appearance and made some PB&J sandwiches in the kitchen.  When I wasn't running I tried to make myself useful wherever needed - timing, the aid station, or eating as much as I could (which isn't really useful to anyone other than me).  It was a great race with a positive and motivating environment, as always is present at Athletic Equation events.

Did some more biking and some running here and there.  This was my last week at Expeditionary Warfare School, so now I am on vacation until 7 Jun.  I hope to get in some decent longer runs during my break, but we also need to pack the house and move to NC.  I've been spending every second I can with Eli over the past 4 days and it's been too fun.  I've already shortened a run so I could get home by the time he woke up from his nap so we could hang out.  It's hard to willingly be absent from home to go running, but I'll need to get in a few longer training runs to stay in shape.
