Took my official Army Physical Training Test, 2nd test in about 7 weeks as I am in a newly formed unit with te majority of our Soldiers over 40 yrs old and they needed some motivation to get back in shape. Training a bit for the test has taken away from my 400 training goals. My next test is about 7 months away so I have time to refocus my efforts.
