Yesterday I attempted to pass the employee fitness test. I had to run/walk (run is the operative word here) 1 1/2 miles in 19:30 -- should be easy enough -- yes?
Well, I missed it by 18 lonnng seconds. Geez... What did i learn?
one: I need to run in the afternoons at least once a week. Much hotter and higher humidity than early mornings.
two: hydrate!!! I failed to do this and suffered. I know it is only a mile and a half but I am a beginner and running is hard for me.
three: I need to run the course used in the test a few times ... it has more inclines than my route near the house. (or find a course even more challenging)
The next testing date is in April -- I WILL PASS the next time!!!
