Week 5 Part 1 (16-17 May, Days 17-18)

I'm not going to write these up by days, for the simple reason that I'm not doing anything exciting. My days consist of reading 80 pages, doing 20-45 questions a night, and giving briefs that me and my TOC (tactical operating center) have had only a couple hours to prepare.
The good news is, I tend to get out a little earlier now. If I hadn't spent two hours on the phone last night (you know who you are ;) and for the record I'm thrilled to have talked to both of you) then I probably would have gotten to work ahead for today...that's the price of having a life I imagine, and I couldn't be less sorry!
Today I've decided to work ahead during lunch and our breaks, so that I can get a head start on the rest of the week. That way I might actually get to the gym when I'm out for the day! I tell everyone that I have worked out like 3 times since I've been here, but I guess I should mention that I do PT Monday through Friday. The running has been good, but I need to do something else to improve my pushups and situps, as well as improve my health and fitness as a whole while I'm here.

So, today, 17 May I am stating my goals for my time here in Arizona for all of internet-land to read!

1) EAT HEALTHIER (particularly find a better solution for staying alert in class than Mountain Dew)
2) Improve all PR's
3) Max PT test (300+) by Record PT Test (13 June)
4) Max PT test on male scale by August
5) Look into (complete if possible) a level 1 Crossfit certification
6) Become a more spiritually healthy person (go to church every Sunday, pray/thank God everyday)
7) Be ready to run the Marine Corps Marathon by August (even if it is in October)
8) Be able to complete 12 dead hang pullups
9) Be proficient in Kickboxing (still working on how to define that)
10) Be a better/heathier/happier person than I've ever been!!!

Thanks for reading! Hold me accountable!!
