I have been having adifficult time running the 2 mile run in baghdad under 11:30 or less since my arrival on the 23'rd of june. I usually run a low, low 11min 2 mile or under 11 minutes which i have ran while in Balad, Iraq. I don't know if it's the enviroment or maybe i haven't been training as hard as i used to. I was happy to have ran a 11:24 this past monday while i was conducting my APFT( Army Physical Fitness Test) for the year. I wanted to make sure that i have taken a record APFT so that my unit at home won't make me take one as soon as arrive in the states at the end of Dec. Im glad to be running close to my usual times. Im close to running on a daily basis so that i may be able to run a Half Marathon when  i get to the states.
