ON MY WAY HOME!!! + workouts

Well, after 5+ months in the Middle East and 160+ days away from home, I'm finally on my way back home from Iraq for Christmas R&R. I left Camp Echo in Diwaniyah, and am temporarily at Camp Adder in Tallil. I leave here on Wednesday, to go to Dubai (our "official" point of departure), and will in turn fly back home to the good ole' U.S. of A. early Thursday morning.

I can't freakin' wait!

I've been here for a few days, with really nothing to do, which has been GREAT. I've been catching up on a lot of sleep, conversing with buddies here going out on R&R as well, and just generally resting.

But don't think that's been keeping me from working out!

Most of my workouts have been simple, but hard - Burpees and Running. :-) Today's workout looked like this:

-Burpees: 20 sets x 8 reps (did 8 reps on the minute, every minute - this was more controlled...wanted to get the volume in)
-Burpees x 50 reps (all in a row - good "finisher"...totalled 250 Burpees in all)
-Medium-paced jog x 20 mins

A great workout - simple and effective. It's just past noon now, I've gotten my workout in the for the day, I'm about to go grab some chow, and catch a nap this afternoon. Combine that with the fact that this time in 3 days I'll be on my way home, and life is REALLY good. :-)

AWESOME Bo Jackson Article

I'll always remember that fateful Monday night when Bo Jackson plowed over Brian Bozworth.

I've always been a big Bo Jackson fan - here is a really good article on where he is now:
