Instead of PT today, I went shooting at an indoor range with my father and younger brother (also now a father, congratulations!). I felt fairly "in the groove," and left my targets with my brother to impress people with. :)

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.

I have quite a bit of footage from the Tea Party; I have to edit it down. In fact, I ran out battery half way through the event. Wait for it... !

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.
