Army Strong! :)

Today was an amazing day. I finally announced I was joining the Reserves and everyone took it really well. I did my distance running today; the 2.6 mile waterfront loop. My first goal is to run the whole thing in 30 minutes. Right now I'm doing about 70/30 running/walking and it takes 38 minutes, so I feel like 30 minutes is a doable goal. But I only have 12 weeks left before basic training and it doesn't seem like enough time!! I think with the jog/sprint intervals 3x a week and boot camp class, I should be able to improve on my time/distance run pretty fast. Next week I'll start meeting with my personal trainer twice a week. My schedule is jam packed with exercise and I feel great about it. Today my knees were sore and one calf muscle was sore, but I did my run anyway and had no knee pain during the run at all. The calf muscle was still sore but I can push through that type of pain. I ended the day with 1120 calories/22g fat/108g of protein so my diet is right on track. Today I weighed 161.5!! That's 7.5 lbs down since Thanksgiving. When I get to 160 I'll check on my body fat again.
