baseline physical training...

so we just finished our baseline test for our physical training...basically its a way for us to try to improve our fitness over the course of the 10 months...we get timed for a 1.5 mile run which includes hills and then we do as many sit ups and push ups as we can in 1 minute...so here are my results...i did average for the run and i did pretty well in the sit ups and push ups in comparison to everyone else...for the run i ran it in 15:01 which i m pretty satisfied with since there were hills and this is denver which has really thin air...my throat was really burning...and i did 50 sit ups in a minute and 52 pushups in a minute...so yeah...they test us continually throughout the term...so i hope i do better...now i m off to our next workshop which is called "motor stables"...its where we all learn how to check oil, change tires, check the engine, etc for the 12-15 passenger vans we ll be driving...we just changed teams for the 3rd time today and we get our final teams next week...its been fun...its just so different then anything at home...even things here in america make you see how big the world really is...there are people from all walks of life here and its pretty amazing hearing all their different stories...its just that there are people from all over the country here...its hard to get this type of experience on your own...
