The Physical Side Of Life

Author: D-Rant Master

Everyday I wait for the call, I went and did the "re-test" of the physical portion of the first screening process. They just wanted to know I haven't stopped training since I got into this whole thing. I guess that's a big problem they have then people aren't ready for the physical demands of the Academy when it comes time to start. Well Ha little did they know I had been training the whole time. Never stopping always moving forward.

The test went well compared to my last time though the gauntlet

Last time the stats where:
1.5 miles in 9 min 50 sec
42 sit-up's in a min
52 push-up's
Jump a 6' wall and sprint 25yds in 7.19 seconds

This time it went a little something like
1.5 miles in 9 min 25 sec
52 sit-up's in a min
55 push-up's
Jump a 6' wall and sprint 25yds in 6.9 seconds

So it was better... Not huge but better still.

Now I've went into a different style of training all together I decided to take up a plan I found for running a 10k race...
Nike offers a sight that you can use to track progress in running it take a few minutes to set up and then you have the ability to set out a training path for you depending on your goals. I told it I'm a novice runner that wants to average a 6-ish minute mile during a 10k it said 12 weeks should get me there. Yes a 6 minute mile is a vary fast pace for a 6 mile run but that's where I used to be.. It's where I need to be to feel I've done all I can for myself.
If it works I'll let you know if not I still know that I can run 6 miles at one time... I think I may have done that once when I was 19. I was always big on short distance really fast rather than a slower steady long races.

Party Side Of Life (what D Rant has a party side)
O' yes there was parting to be done and I did it .. and well.
C__'s B day came and went last week so there had to be a party of some sort. The whole luau idea went out the freaken window when she said she really didn't want that anymore.. So I took back the stuff I had gotten and we used the dough to have a great night on the town.. We started the night at our house with P-Riddy R__ and the Neighbors we all loaded up in the neighbors new lifted F-350 quad cab (It's like going down the street in a tank). All six of us fit right in no problem it was great that meant only one poor fool had to be the DD.

Que Morning.. My boots are still on and I'm fully dressed.

That was a good night

Recovery Prescription: 5 Mile run and a half a pizza. Does the trick every time.
