T-minus three minutes!

So..we had a physical fitness day for the academy today. We ran the mile and a half course that we have to run for our test (minus the 300 meter sprint) and I shaved off three minutes from my last time!! I was so happy. Hopefully I can keep it up and pass the test that we have in like two and a half weeks. Also for our test we have to do 21 consecutive push-ups (which I passed, but just barely) and 29 sit-ups in one minute which I also passed (I did 50 in one minute, I was happy). Last thing is the jump...17.5 inches vertical...piece of cake!! Getting in shape hurts, but it is so worth it to see all the results :)

450 is the magic number of the day!

Not that I'm counting days, because really I'm not. But I wrote in my journal today and realized that it has been 450 days since I have seen Dan. That's a long time. Sad thing is...I still have like 300 more days until I get to see him again. That's okay though, it will be so worth it and as much as it seems like my future is just a never-ending dream...people keep telling me it will really happen. So I'll believe them. Until then I'll just keep on keeping, after all, what more can ya do?

"Hell Week"

So I decided to name this last week "hell week" because that's what it was, in a nut shell. At school we had five days of p.t. (physical training) in a row. And of course it's not the regular pansy p.t. that I'm used to from high school and stuff. No it's run three miles every day (up a giant hill mind you) then when you finish, go back and get your classmates who aren't finished yet. After that, we will all come in and stretch for five minutes then we'll do at least 60 push-ups and sit-ups and those stupid things where you have to lay down, raise your legs six inches off the ground with your legs straight and hold it. If someone drops, then we hold it longer, if everyone's not at six inches...then we wait until they are. Ha ha, it was painful but it was actually kind of fun because it's getting my lazy butt into exercising, plus I got to watch one of my classmates get laid out flat on the ground by some random girl. Something I (and I'm sure he) will never forget :)
