True, it's not the worst of hills, but asthma + humidity can make it seem pretty rough. The last hill we run is actually the worst.

If you look at the street view and click left arrow to Waterman St, we end up going up that hill which is like two hills with a sliiiight flat part in between. So far Runkeeper says I've climbed 1012 ft for the month of May.

How do you like that Gerber? Had mine for years.

I love it.  I've had mine since early 2009.  A buddy gave it to me before I got out of the army.  A lot of people hate how heavy it is but I can't stand light weight knives.  Heavy comes in handy at times.

11 Questions tagged by: third-round-charm

Rule 1: You must post the rules Rule 2: Answer the 11 questions and make 11 new ones  Rule 3: Tag 11 people  Rule 4: Tell them that you've tagged them

Questions to answer:

1.) Given anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest? The Dalai Lama.

2.) Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die? Yes, I do.

3.) What’s the greatest accomplishment of your life? The only one I can think of having any worth: I'm alive when I shouldn't be.

4.) Before making a phone call, do you ever rehearse what you’re going to say? Depends on the phone call I'm making. Normally it's a negative. But there's the rare few in which I recite a speech in front of a mirror or in the shower. Yes, I'm that person.

5.) For what in your life do you feel most grateful? The only person who has never let me down. My older brother.

6.) If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet? "Checkmate." Because it's not time yet.

7.) What’s an embarrassing moment from your life? I actually can't think of any. I was always the one to laugh at myself to avoid embarrassment.

8.) Do you think the people you fall in love with is a reflection of who you are? No. So far the people I've fallen for have always been complete opposites. I used to avoid falling in love with anyone like me for reasons. Now, that's all I search for.

9.) Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? Never be able to make new ones. I'm alive because of my old memories. I wouldn't trade that for the world.

10.) What’s something you wish more people knew about you? This illusion of perfection they have of me, it's false. I'm nothing but a broken mirror.

11.) How would you choose to die, if natural causes/during sleep wasn't an option? I would like to either be shot in the head, die of blood loss from slit throat or drown.

the top belt with the velcro on the right is what the two leg rigs are attached to. The thick belt underneath are running two strands of nylon down to the leg loops. Those are just like the ones we have in our mac kits.

Man, with everything being black, they all kinda blended together and I figured they were the same unit.

The more you know.

Reading through the Corporal's reddit thread really makes me want to look at these motherfuckers and just go "...You know you're talking about the Corporal, right? A man of General Mattis-levels of badassery?"
