Any runners out there?

I hated running in formation. I don't run anymore, (and I don't miss it) but when I did, I could go forever, just not very fast. In formation it would seem the jack rabbits were in the front and it would kill me to keep up. I liked it better when we had the "bracket" runs. I would enjoy a 5 miler at my pace better than the 2 1/2 at full bore sprint.
Something that I didn't seem to mind at all, was the road marches. I'd do a 25 mile march then lead the make up/fall out march the next day.
I carry a 12 mile mail route every day, and to be honest with you, it's harder than the road marches.
