Need encouragement for the Detention Deputy Sheriff academy...?

[jailbreak]

Im going through an 8 week academy at the Sheriff's office. We have a lot of bookwork and physical agility parts. To get in you have to make: in 1 min: 22 pushups and 33 situps. In 13:58 a 1.5 mile run. To graduate the academy at the 8th week we have another and final exam...stats are: in 1 min: 29 pushups and 38 situps. In 12:29 a 1.5 mile run. So far, first week of academy im doing: 1 min: 40 pushups and 40 situps. So im good. The only thing im nervous about is running. I hate running... My last 1.5 mile run was 13:40 which is what got me into academy and what i have to do on thurs...any encouragement please?

I believe in you! You're obviously pretty in shape, and you've got lots of time for this. Try running longer distances like 2 miles, so when you do the real thing, it'll feel like a breeze! Maybe you won't have time to start that before Thursday, but you've already run under 13:58 (why such an odd number? Why not round?) so you've got this! Good luck! :D
