TODAY WAS THE DAY!!

OKAY I was so nervous, It was kinda scary.

The pushups were good! I did 44 out of my max of 46 = 97pts ... So close *crying  

The sit-ups went okay! I only improved by 1 but thats okay! 74 out of 80 = 92pts ... still close *still crying

The run was SO COLD WHY IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I improved by 23 seconds or so out of max of 15:36 = 95pts *icey tears

The calculations won't be sent out to the BN (Battalion) until tomorrow or tonight so I have an app that helps! Most people in rotc have this app too over all I am so happy! I didn’t hit my 300 like I wanted but I’m okay with that because Its a long process and I gotta trust it. I gotta run my own race and keep improving myself. Overall I got a 284 which means I improved by 8 points which doesn’t seem like a lot but it is!

Going into this I was less consistent and didn’t like running. Now I am on track for the most part, I still don’t love running but it along with the gym have become a place of solace for me.

Run Your Own Race — Focus on What You Can Control and You Will Win Every Time

RUN YOUR OWN RACE

This concept and idea was brought to me long ago through ROTC - my PMS (prof. of Military Science - the boss) talked to me about this back when I wasn’t to good at PT. Being wrapped around the idea that we are competing with other cadets and that we need to be better then others is not how to become better. He explained to me that becoming better happens through competing with oneself, with bettering oneself. Essentially running my own race and my path, being able to control what I do and how that helps me improve. 

I have loved this idea ever since, I have preached this idea ever since. Heres a great example of this concept.

During the running part of the PT test, all 100+ cadets form up on the track preparing for the 8 lap test. Once we begin everyone speeds off. Feeling the need to compete with the person next to you people start off sprinting, they take off and for the first few laps run a time that isn’t their typical time, but a sprint time of that person. By lap 4,5 and sometimes 6 those people who were strong at the beginning are dead. They become out of breath and end up getting passed up. This is because they aren’t running their own race! They’re trying to run someone else race rather then understanding where they’re at and competing with themselves. 

Im really glad I found this article, I feel like this last month has been so strong for me and I don’t know what to expect next week during the PT test. I have to remind myself to run my own race, and that is enough and will help me improve.
