Today I ran on a treadmill 1.5 miles in 12 minutes, meeting the Navy's entry requirement. This is both a significant milestone and a pleasant surprise at my rate of progress: this summer I was able to run only half the distance in half the time; after that I had to stop, as I was dead from exhaustion.
Since I can already pass the sit-and-reach exercise and do enough pushups to qualify, the only hurdle is the sit-ups. I need to do 58 in two minutes. A month ago I did 50. On Monday Andreas is going to test me. I will keep you posted.
