Yeah, pretty happy about this, on friday, I ran the full 1.5 miles under an 8 minute mile... admittedly not by much, made mile 1 at 7:58 then 1.5 at 11:58. so barely beat 8 minutes on mile one and maintained an 8 minute pace for another 4 minutes... still not bad... then completed my second mile and a half without stopping, at 24:52, which means the second 1.5 was in 12:56 seconds (I always add on some cumulative seconds assuming I hit the stop button early or late, better long than short) so that means I officially passed the required 1.5 mile run time for FLETC graduation twice over without stopping and without winding myself (though I've felt better after running than I did that night)

Currently also up to 25 standard push ups in a minute, and 35 sit ups, so I feel like I'm in a good place...

..so here is the really interesting question, if I can do all that, with 30 seconds of rest time in between, right, and not be winded, why can't I laugh heartily without coughing?

Lifes freakin' mysteries..
