Push ups and Pull up are doable for me. However, running 3 miles at an average pace of 6 minutes is a tough order unless you are built to run and not like a marine. lol Most runners try to break the 20 minute mark in a 5k...

The USMC PFT hasn't changed for over 40 years; You can earn 100 pts. in each part for a max score of 300. The max for sit-ups is 80 in 2 minutes; pull-ups - 20; and 18 minutes for the 3 mile run. I could always do the sit-ups, but quit for a while until the standard allowed for crossing the arms in front instead of behind the head to put less strain on your back and neck. The pull-ups took more work, but I am up to 22 now (not bad for a 64 year old). The 18 minute run was always a bitch for me, and I would just have to suck it up and run my ass off to get the time down. I know that my cardio is lacking, but still manage to get to the top of the mountain in my own time.

Dug out a 18" diameter stump in my yard by hand tonight. Took 2 and half hours, and not a single knuckle busted!

Ran 9.5 mi Wednesday night. Getting the longer distance times quicker, but don't know if I'll have enough time to improve before the running of the toughest 1/2 marathon in the Country in 5 1/2 weeks.

Gotta love the singletrack! I made my old hardtail into a single speed. Now that thing is workout!. I have a long run scheduled for Saturday and if my legs feel up to it I'll head out on the one of the mountain bikes Sunday for a nice ride

Still struggling from this 4 week illness. Got in two workouts despite it. Got a couple miles in on tread and did some chest along with rowing intervals. 640 watts and did 200 m in 30 seconds to finish the workout, not my best but I'll take it with walking pneumonia! If you guys haven't done the rower, I highly suggest it!

Ran 4 miles today. Middle 2 miles were done in 2 minute intervals alternating between running at tempo and running easy pace
