My neighbor, ex-army turned businessman type fella, said that running in cadence with a big group makes you feel invincible and that you can just run forever once you get used to it. Sounds like fun to me. As for all these individual runs, they sound like absolutely nothing. I can see myself wearing down with like four or five 4 or 5 milers a week, but otherwise...
What do we do in OCS those first few weeks when we're not doing pushups and pt? Are there classes? Lots of crappy chores, or what?
