One year left in the Army as of today!

Today started off not so well. I woke up this morning feeling aweful. My stomach was killing me and I felt really tired. I got up around 4:30 AM and drank a bunch of water and took an ibuprofen along with a multivitamin. I really wanted to run the 10K (6.2 mile) road race today. I went back to bed and slept until 6:30. When I got up I decided that no matter how bad I felt, I wasn't going to let it stop me from running this morning, so I threw on my running shoes and headed out the door. It was about 1.5 miles to the race, so I ran there. After registering and getting my running number (#400) I strolled over to the start line. There I met SSG Adams. She is always at these runs. Well the race started and I felt fine once I got going. I finished in 48:56, a respectable time for me.

Here is SSG Adams running to the finish line. She got a personal best today. Well I went home and my stomach really started to bother me. I ate a little thinking that I must be hungry, but after eating it just made it worse and my stomach started cramping. I went over to Scott's room and he gave me some Pepto-Pismol. I drank some of that and swallowed down some pudding thinking that it would coat my stomach and make it feel better. Well It's almost 8PM now and it's not getting any better. I don't feel like eating anything right now. I think it might have been some of that meat that I tried at the Korean restaurant last night. I don't think it was cooked all the way. It might have also been that wasabi that everyone put in my drink. Either way I'm, not in the best of spirits tonight. We had planned on going to see a baseball game tonight at one of the stadiums, but we decided not to go.

Last night we were walking around and this guy made this dog tag for me. I had a memory card with some pictures of my wife on my keychain and he was able to take the picture from it and put it on one for me. I thought it was so cool. I put it on my real dog tags chain and am going to wear it with me every day, so that I'll have a picture of my wife wherever I go. We'll, I think I'm going to take it easy tonight and maybe just watch a movie or something. I think some rest and relaxation will help me. If not, I'll wait one more day and then go to the hospital on Monday if it's not better by then. Say a prayer for me. Oh, one last thing- I found out this week that I am leaving Korea in September and I will be going to Fort Carson, Colorado. I don't know how that is going to all work out or what I am going to do, but I'll think about it for a while and decide what I am going to do. I don't have much longer left in the Army anyway. I have one year exactly as of today! Woohoo. Tomorrow I can say "I have less than one year to go!" It seems like I've already been in 50 years!
