The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "Stop beating yourself up. You are a work in progress; which means you get there a little at a time, not all at once." — Unknown Author

I am definitely a work in progress! Good morning everyone and Happy Thursday! COL Mikel J. Burroughs, now that I'm in a new age bracket for how PT gets scored for me, I need to keep pushing myself to stay motivated. Lots of days I am motivated but there are a few that I'm not. WOrking, PTing or free time, I try and make the most of it!

TSgt Joe C.
Maj Marty Hogan - I do sprints and a leg, core and arm circuit workout twice a week now. 200-300 meter sprints followed by an exercise from each group and I repeat it until I've reached my goal of 1.5 miles. Takes about 70-90 minutes depending on how many repetitions I need to do. Yesterday was 300 meters and I timed my laps at around 62 seconds on average. It's what I did in Korea to help me out and it cut my run time down from 13 mins to 11 mins and waist down by 3 inches.

TSgt Joe C. - perfect bro. You got this- This is most likely going to be my last PT test in June. We have a command change this year and maybe that will change my long term, but as it stands 2019 might be my last and won't be required to test. I will test just because I am a runner- I will try for a 100 this year- missed it by 20 seconds running injured last year. Not bad for an old guy. Your plan is excellent and keep me posted here or on FB.

Maj Marty Hogan
Push ups n sit ups are easy. My problem is I am a distamce runner and look for an over all pace over miles. Mile and a half is short and almost a sprint. I think my 100 is a 10:26. I know I can push 11 all day. It will be that 30 second brush off i have to conquer.

Great quotations on achievement and progress Colonel! The military demands excellence from each of us so we can meet our goals as a team. That is why I have always liked this quote from President Truman.
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”
― Harry Truman

Work in progress- how I approach my fitness goals and most everything I work on. Small steps over time- it is a marathon not a sprint. When you stop improving- that is when you should worry you are in the wrong place.... great Thursday thoughts COL Mikel J. Burroughs
