How are you spending YOUR summer? Blah

Things have been going pretty well lately. I am still training my replacement on the ins-and-outs of my job. I am supposed to leave in 7 days, but I have heard of people getting stuck in Ali Al Salem (Kuwait) for a few days waiting for a flight. I bet there is no delay getting us back over here though!


Other than that, nothing crazy has been going on. I haven't been working out as much on this shift, since it is usually 115 degrees when I get off work. Our "gym" is in a tent surrounded by concrete barriers, and it is not air conditioned. The first time I ran on the treadmill in there, I thought I was going to DIE. :) I run for 30 minutes and it usually ends up around 3 1/2 miles. My goal is to be able to run 4 miles in 30 minutes. I think I will be there by end of the summer. Here is a picture of the outside of the gym.........
