Tested and Pushed

UPDATE:
I called Sarge and we set-up a meeting for a run tomorrow (Thursday) at 2:00pm. He said he marked it down on his calender so he wouldn't forget (he said that it completely slipped his mind that we were suppose to run. He was afraid that I was mad at him and would hate him forever, and I just laughed it off! He checked-up on my progress and he told me that I should work-out Monday-Friday alternating days for running and strength exercising and take weekends off. I told him I felt like I couldn't considering I only have 55 days until I ship for Basic and 30 days until I take the physical fitness test. I told him that my distances were getting lower and lower and that I was bored out of my mind, he told me that I can switch up running for anything else cardio. He told me that I was getting burned out and that I should just take a break for a day. Taking that break would involve doing nothing today and I'm 99.999% sure that that isn't going to happen!!! He made good points and I know I should listen to him but I'm having problems following his advice; I feel like I still have so far to go and hardly anytime but I also know I have made a ton on progress in the short 5 days that I have been working-out. I'll just see how I feel later this afternoon and take it from there!

UPDATE:
So, my Sergeant stood me up!!! We were suppose to meet at Sequiota Park at 1:30pm, I got there early as I always do and I waited until 2:00pm. When he didn't show I decided to head to the gym and get my daily work-out. He called me 45 minutes ago apologizing and asking if I went running and how my training was going, I missed the call since I was still at the gym.
I've gotten really really bored with running so my distances are slowly going lower and lower, I can run for a mile because I did it that first day at the gym I just don't have a running buddy or anything fun to do so I quit because I'm bored and tired. I ran for a little bit just like I always do and then weight lifted a little bit, but I switched it up and went swimming today. I'm getting ready to call Sarge back and see if we can reschedule and find out what his excuse was! I'm making progress and I still have a month until my Physical Fitness Assessment.

ORIGINAL:
After not doing so well last Thursday on my run with Sergeant we set a goal day of today to go out and test myself and push myself a little more.

I've gone to the gym daily; ran, did sprints, weight lifted, and of course push-ups and sit-ups. I've accomplished a lot in four very short days. To make more improvement and to really monitor my progress I need to go running. Sergeant Carroll is taking me out at 1:30pm on another 5K run he's bringing one of his other recruits and he's gonna push me. I'm really looking forward to it since I know I'm much more prepared and have been having problems staying motivated the last couple of days.

I'll let everyone know how I do!
