The end of plans, beginning of action

I sit here in Afghanistan wondering were the time went.  I find myself always planning and not taking action.  Well I am throwing out the plan and action shall commence.  I have a 5k in the early morning to beat the heat, should be around 85 degrees.  Mid day here reaches 110 in the shade and sometimes peaks at 140 in the sun.  I had planned to have run previous to this to ensure my success, of course that didn't happen with the long workdays and periods of exhaustion.  I will just wake up, put my shoes on and toe the line.  It is not a question that I cannot complete the distance, and I will not be setting a PR, other than I can say I raced a 5K in the middle of a combat zone.
