1.3 Miles in 14 Minutes

I have just completed 1.3 miles in 14 minutes.  Air Force Minimum is 1.5 Miles in 14:21.  Pretty close, right?  Well screw that, My goal is to get to their highest rung, 1.5 Miles in 10:55.  I'm not too far off, I dont think.  : )  The 1.3 miles were run up and down two hills as well.

I'll be working on pushups later tonight, along with playing more DDR.  Life is going okay right now.   

House Hunt and Car Update

So its been a few days since I've last posted.  The Lubbock trip was only somewhat successful.  We managed to move a good amount of stuff up there, leaving only our futon, mattress, and a bench among a car load of small items.  The house hunt was not so successful.

We found two places that were nice (among many houses that were filthy and disgusting).  One was kind of far from campus, and the move in date was two days after I needed to be in Lubbock.  The second one was really expensive, but two blocks away from campus.  1200 a month split between three people (plus probably about 300 dollars in utilities)  So a little over my budget.  I could afford it, but I'd rather save the 900 dollars over the year that I would be saving if I stuck with my budget.  I think Elias and I (along with the other roommate) are going to try our hand in just leasing a place without really looking at it.  I think it sucks, but we're really running out of time. : C

Other than that, I've been working on my pushups.  In order to join the Air Force, I need to do 27, and I'm working on being able to get to 40.  I want to over achieve so I dont have to struggle so much during training.  I havent been working on my running as seriously as I should be, but I did play DDR for a good amount of time last night, and I really pushed it by playing Max 300.  My speed has improved a whole bunch.

My dad completed the repairs on my car, and now it looks fabulous!  He's insisting that we repaint the rest of the car Monday, and I wont object.  It seems like he really wants to do it. : )  I hope I can get my car up to 300,000 miles at least! I love her!

Anyway, I will be working on improving my workouts and taking up a small diet change.  : ) Until next time.
