12-14 May - Weathered out

Over the last several day our flights have been delayed or cancelled because of the ongoing sand storms. We conduct many hours of planning and maintenance in order to get the aircrew and aircraft ready but when the weather rolls in we just sit and wait for better conditions to launch the mission. When the visibility is too bad to fly but I can still see 300 feet in front of me I try to run a few miles to stay in shape and break-up the day. Thus far I have run 15 miles - not too bad for guy in his late 30's....wow that sounds old. No soccer teams to join so it's either running or getting fat - so I run. That's it for now.
