Pack Test!

Not much more to update about except the Pack Test that I took yesterday!

Drumroll please..........

I completed the test in 38:15, so 7 minutes under the allotted time! AND I was the fastest girl, and 5th person to finish overall! I Was so proud of myself, but my body is feeling it today. It was on a square cement "track" at the YMCA that was partially in the shade but mostly in the sun. We wore 45 lb. weighted vests over our clothes, that after wearing for a few minutes you really started to feel. It was not as hard as I imagined, but today my hips, ankles and shins are in a lot of pain. The weights in the vest also continuously hit the front of my hipbones, so I have pretty bad bruises on them. I'm really happy that I did it, and proud that I did really well...but it is NOT something that I would want to do on a daily basis.

So, they will announce our permanent teams on Wednesday after dinner, so I will update this as soon as I find out!

Time to enjoy my lovely day off.

  2. Glad to hear things are going so well, and I really wouldn't expect anything other than how you did with the pack test. We all miss you here at Emerson and wish you the best.
