I started a new phase of training this week. ArmyStudyGuide.com has a recommended training regimen to get ready for basic training. I modified their 12 week prep program to fit in with what I was already doing.
I added interval training to my run. I have been running now for almost a year, but the interval training should help get me over a hump in my time. Once a week you do intervals: sprint for 30 seconds and then walk for 60. Then you do 6 repetitions of that interval. Sounds easy enough until you run with your long-legged, big-footed son whose legs are 22 years younger than yours. It can be quite humbling. (By the way...about the feet...his shoe size matches his age...he just turned 15...no kidding...really).
I also added a calisthenics set to my weekly workout (also from ArmyStudyGuide.com). I was doing push-ups and sit-ups already, but it is good to get this type of workout added, too. My goal is that I want to hit CHOBLC...I do not want CHOBLC to hit me ; ) Wishful thinking...I know. Hopefully I will get there and not be too bad off.
Considering the fact that nine months ago I weighed 50 pounds more than I do right now, and the only time I ran was when someone hollered "Buffet!"...I have come a long way.
Okay...sorry...this has been a pretty boring post. Let me just finish with this...
She ate another one!
This time a whole one. This time she did it in front of my wife's mom and dad. Grandma saw her. As the worm approached her mouth, Grandma said..."Oh, no...don't....Oh, no...don't...Oh, no...she did!"

Hi,
I just want to thank you for your blog. I am in the process of becoming a Chaplain as well after 8 years as a Pastor. I go to MEPS on Monday and if all goes well (and its God's will) I should be boarded in time for the January 08 CHBOLC. I've been reading several blogs of guys who are doing the same and its really encouraging. Thanks again.

Yes, thank you very much for explaining the 30:60s. I got my training guide from my CO (I'm doing Army ROTC) and had no clue what they are.
