Update on MS 115

Well, since completing the 1/2 marathon, can you blame me if I'm a little tooooooo exhausted to exercise? (Please say no!)

So, yesterday, I go to MS 115 (not a schedule class day, but a great day to work out and exercise with other people), and we end up doing Swiss Seats (w/ ropes) and also doing our APFT to find out where we are at physically for when we have our final on the 9th. I must say that I was highly impressed with myself that I jogged the entire 8 laps around the track WITHOUT stopping once! Now THAT is a HUGE improvement compared to when we first did the APFT back in April. I just had to keep counting down the number of times left around the track, like I did with the number of miles I left during the 1/2 marathon. When taking the actual APFT, I think I'm going to wear my headphones to keep me motivated. I should put a few songs back to back that equal my goal time, so THEN, I can pace and gauge myself that way. I think I should finish training that way too! Ingenious idea!

Here are the requirements and my current stats and future goal stats:

Requirement to get 300 points:
p/u = 50
s/u = 82
run = 15:54

6/26/08 Stats:
p/u = 27
s/u = 35
run = 24:09

07/05/08 Goal:
p/u = 40
s/u = 55
run = 21:00

07/09/08 Goal:
p/u = 45
s/u = 70
run = 20:00

07/14/09 Goal: (Absolutely last day to "make-up" the APFT)
p/u = 50
s/u = 82
run = 15:54 or at least 19:00 (Major Esplin indicated that he wants us females to get in under 20 minutes)

Pray for me! I'm going to need it!
