PRT

58 situps
47 pushups
11:48.01 1.5 mile run

If I'd been pressed, I could've pumped out about 80 situps or more, and pushed out at least 70 pushups.  But the run was the hardest part due to my legs hurting.  It turns out my neighborhood's roads are all cambered to prevent water from pooling in the center of the road.  Curving them helps the water run off and down into the drains, but it's a killer on my legs.  Running around the 'hood forces me to have my ankles at an angle, which means the major muscles in my tibia don't take most of the shock.  Instead that smallish muscle that runs the length of the tibia (tibial anterior? Tibial anteriorus? Do those sound remotely Latin?) takes up the slack.  But at least I figured out what was causing me pain in my runs and I know the weakest part of my PRT and can now work on it.
