Less than a year ago, the Air Force unveiled a new PT test with a two mile run. Airmen took to social media to complain how the new increased length would cause injuries.
This weekend, an Air Force Colonel, more than likely in their mid to late 40s, ran 5 miles up a mountain to escape the enemy.
Running matters. You should do more of it.

It is amazing what can be accomplished by a president whose words mean something, and how much damage can be done by a President (@BarackObama) who drew a red line and didn’t keep his word.
President @realDonaldTrump has inspired the Iranian people because they trust him to keep his word.
The Iranian people watched Trump warn @khamenei_ir and then destroy Iran’s nuclear capability.
The Iranian people watched Maduro taunt the President and then we all witnessed perhaps the greatest special forces operation in history.
The world is changing quickly and the bad guys are cowering in fear.
And thank you to our incredible military and @PeteHegseth.
Peace through strength.
@MarioNawfal You need to talk to Venezuelans in the country and abroad, Maduro lost the 2024 election, getting only 30% of the votes, his regime is very unpopular, and when the bombs begin falling the Venezuelan people including a good portion of the armed forces will revolt against Maduro
@CaracasChron It was fun reading you, not so much lately, Trump derangement syndrome has defintely affected your objectivity, unfollowing you today, I am sure many will continue to leave
@GamerEMDoc@armyemdoc Somebody didnt think this one through, lets hope that in those 2 years the big corporations dont come to the conclusion that it is cheaper to hire more MLPs using a medical artificial intelligence software with a smaller number of EM Docs supervising and making less money
@PeterSchiff We have to give it to you, it is truly remarkable your ability to troll BTC and achieve engagement from those of us that believe in Crypto! Even when you are proven wrong over and over again
