Preliminary Score ~ 183

OK - I did it!  Well, sort of...

Here are the official results of my first PT test:

Situps ~ 48 (71 pts)                           Max points = 100 - have to hit 76 to get that.

Pushups ~ 14 (61 pts)                       Max points = 100 - have to hit 40 pushups

2 mile run ~ I only did 1 mile at 11:55 ~ doubled give me 51 pts ~ to get 100 I have to actually run BOTH miles (haha!) and do it in 17 minutes. 

June 1st is the deadline.  It would be fun to max these out - but I'd like to hit at least 275.  Stay tuned!

Passing the PT test

So - game on...  me and my big mouth! :)  Tomorrow I am doing my first "PT" test - Army standards included!  We have set a goal, that nine weeks from now, I will be able to hit the requirements for my age bracket.  Push-ups and sit-ups I think will be the easy part.

Can't tell you the last time I really ran - well, other than Saturday, when I actually jogged for about 10 minutes.  Surprised myself!  Felt it Sunday! 

So - stay tuned!  I see women my age or older come through Basic on a regular enough basis to know that I'm not too old.  Don't worry though!  No plans to join the Army.  Just want to see what I can do! 

If you have any tips - shoot 'em my way!!
