Army PFT update

[marathoner452]

7 pushups in 2 minutes=score of 46 (need 17/score of 60 to pass)
70 situps in 2 minutes=score of 87
15:57 for a 2 mile run=score of 96

Total score of 229 (240 needed to pass)-up from 212 2 months ago

And just for curiosity's sake, here's how I stack up against the men's times:

7 pushups in 2 minutes=score of 22 (need 20/score of 60 to pass)
70 situps in 2 minutes=score of 87
15:57 for a 2 mile run=score of 67 (need 13:00 for a perfect 100)

Total score of 176 (whoops)

The coolest part is that my 2 mile time is only 21 seconds off my time from last summer, and that was in a race where it's always easier to run faster. I guess my weight training is balancing out my skimpy mileage lately. I can't wait to see what I can do this summer!

I didn't test myself today--I will when I can actually make it to the track on a relatively dry day and really go after the 2-mile, complete with spikes. But you're obviously making huge improvements. Again, bravo. :-)

Go you! Your 2-mile run time is fast...how fast does it need to get a perfect 100 for women's ranks? I've been a complete slacker for anything that requires me to go outdoors. I do pushups and situps whenever I remember (once every 7-10 days) but I haven't run a timed 2 miles in a long time. I'm getting slower. I think I would estimate mine as 19 minutes now. *sigh* But my pushups and situps are in good order. I don't even have weather as an excuse since it's been pretty mild overall. Well, middle of a snowstorm today but really it's been nice for a lot of days. Glad your training is paying off!
