Goals

In the next short period of time I want to :

1. Drop my run time to a 21:30 at the absolute slowest.
2. Lose 20+ lbs.
3. Have the OCS talk with the parents.

1.  I am so ready to do this, it’s ridiculous.  After my last PFT when I ran a 23:55 3 mile, I decided to do Crossfit Endurance consistently as opposed to my traditional plan.  After a Friday and Monday of speedwork, I officially fucked over my left foot and gave myself a healthy dose of metatarsalgia and stopped myself cold.  I know have a ridiculously sharp pain caused, probably, by the head of my smallest metatarsal bone in my foot bearing most of my weight.

Man, I am so motivated to get this shit done.  Capt. Jackson said that the people going to OCC 205 this fall are "the people who want it." And I want it.  And I’m so pissed that I can’t do something about it.  I guess I should be swimming or biking or something but fuck!  I want to run.  It’s feeling a little better as I’ve been babying it.  I guess that’s ok as I never really had a true week without speedwork due to my PFT falling on rest week.  Let’s see how this week works out.

2. I’m ready to do this too.  Given that I can’t run I’ve sort of dedicated myself to dropping the pounds.  This is primarily due to the fact that at OCS you do a crap load of bodyweight exercises.  I watched a video on the obstacle course and I know that I could do all that a lot easier if I were twenty lighter.  So here it goes again…I’ve got off to a good start and am sitting right around 209.  So 205 is the first goal.  Hahaha 205lbs for OCC 205!

3. Haha, I don’t even want to touch this.  I’m going to have to tell them eventually (really?).  That’ll be gay.

This fun injury has allowed me the luxury time to consider a bunch of stuff.  I started looking into what going the Army OCS would be like.  Haha, I’ll be honest, it looks so much easier than Marine OCS.  Strength isn’t hard for me, so I could easily get my pushups into the 77 range to max the pushups part of the test.  Dropping the run to two miles, I have to admit, would be awesome. 

But yea, I’m pretty much decided against that and here’s why – I chose the Marine Corps and have already made my intentions clear to my OSO so I can’t back out on that now.  Also, the idea of succeeding and living so close to D.C. for 6 months is highly attractive to me.  Highly attractive!  After going there with Cassie, I found that I really like the city and all the history thats there.  And since I’m such a bitch, it’s a major selling point that it’s like 2 hours from home.  My folks could easily come visit me should I get libo in OCS and weekend trips would be very viable during TBS.  Cassie could come live with me and it would be lots of fun!  I shouldn’t be looking that far ahead, though, haha, there’s still the whole rating the title thing that needs to be done first.
