I'm focusing on tempo runs until the end of the quarter. My goal time per lap is 02:10; every time I make my goal time, I increase my number of timed laps by one. After my timed laps, I alternate jogging and running laps without timing, until I finish two miles.
I'm already getting 30 sit-ups per day; I have to focus on getting 30 push-ups. I'm using very strict form and touching my chest to the floor with each rep, and it's actually more difficult than it sounds. I'm doing three maximum sets on each push-up day until I can do 30 consecutive in my first set.
My kettlebell training continues; although there is a study that demonstrates that kettlebell training should significantly benefit my APFT score, I haven't found that to be the case. I haven't discontinued the training, but I'm making it a distant third in priority.
My slightly higher priority, although still far below my APFT training, is hapkido. My training partner is getting deployed, and my friend in Kansas City probably is, too. I need to start being serious about getting to the Sunday night classes my friend offers here in town.

Until Further Notice...
I've got two really great, 13-week training schedules made out. One emphasizes running and calisthenics, the other emphasizes strength and power.
Unfortunately, I'm not in good enough shape to use them yet. :(
For right now, I'm doing the closest approximation to the training routine that I did in Columbia (before I moved) that I can manage: As soon as I get up, I do either 50 push-ups or 50 sit-ups; then I go to the YMCA for 20 minutes on the treadmill at an incline of 1.0. In Columbia, I could actually go somewhere and run--but in Jefferson City there are no good places to run (and the winters are getting too cold, anyway!).
Right now, my run is at 5.5 mph--with a 20 minute run and 5 minute cool-down, that's 360 calories and 2.11 miles. Once I can sustain 20 minutes at 7.0 mph, I'll introduce some variety to my cardio and start training with kettlebells again. Once I can finish 3 miles in under 21 minutes, I'll start in on my GOOD programs.

Modern Farang Mu Sul profile
From 1993 to 1996, I studied a Korean martial art called "Hwa Rang Do" under an ex-Army Ranger named "Butch" Fowlkes. I consider this one of the most formative periods of my life, and it contributed directly to my decision to join the United States Marine Corps in 1995.
Unfortunately, due to internal politics, Sa Bahm Nim Fowlkes (now grandmaster of his own martial art) left the World Hwa Rang Do Association in 1996, not long after I joined the Marine Corps. I haven't gone back to them for the same reason.
However, another former Hwa Rang Do master, Michael De Alba, has also created his own martial art--Modern Farang Mu Sul. It is very similar to Hwa Rang Do, and also includes boxing, MMA and modern firearms in its curriculum. I've already spoken to Grandmaster De Alba, and I will be joining FMS next month (basically, I'm waiting for New Year's debt to clear off before I write the membership check).
Not only will FMS blend quite well with the World Hapkido Association curriculum that I'm already studying, but FMS has its own social-networking site. My profile is listed here, and this is where I will probably keep most of my updated ranks, videos, and photos from martial arts. It also has my most comprehensive personal martial arts history.
Unfortunately, due to internal politics, Sa Bahm Nim Fowlkes (now grandmaster of his own martial art) left the World Hwa Rang Do Association in 1996, not long after I joined the Marine Corps. I haven't gone back to them for the same reason.
However, another former Hwa Rang Do master, Michael De Alba, has also created his own martial art--Modern Farang Mu Sul. It is very similar to Hwa Rang Do, and also includes boxing, MMA and modern firearms in its curriculum. I've already spoken to Grandmaster De Alba, and I will be joining FMS next month (basically, I'm waiting for New Year's debt to clear off before I write the membership check).

Well, today it's a pure water fast. Let's hope I do better today than I did yesterday!! Tomorrow begins the first quarter of 2009, and my last chance to get into shape for OCS.
I must re-learn the use of my willpower.

0745 1 serving FRS concentrate in orange juice
0800 30 push-ups, 30 sit-ups, two miles at 08:57/mile (1.0 elevation), 308 calories burned
1400 1 serving FRS concentrate in orange juice
1900 Taco Bell Meal I w/ Pepsi (I broke down out of BOREDOM!) :-(
2000 Hapkido training
Today was supposed to be the APFT ending the fourth quarter of 2008, but I took it easy since I have really just started my new program. Also, I'm doing a juice-fast today and Sunday, with a water-only fast on Saturday. Sunday actually begins my first quarter workout, but my quarters begin with a day off. Monday will be the first working day (kettlebell training!).

Well, to ring in the new year, I've created my own workout. It takes inspiration from several sources, including Crossfit; Bigger, Faster, Stronger; the Furman Institute and others.
It is a 13-week program, working three days on and one day off, rotating between several types of running, weight lifting, calisthenics and kettlebell training. Each quarter ends with an APFT, and the first quarter of 2009 actually starts this coming Sunday.
