    Default LE physical testing



    On Thursday the 31st I will be attempting to pass the physical agility testing for Colorado Parks and Wildlife's armed Park Ranger series. Nothing too hard. 300m sprint, 1.5 mi run, push ups and sit ups. Only issue is, two weeks ago I tore a ligament in my foot. Awesome huh? So in short, I am about to re tare a ligament in my foot. Wish me luck all! Lots of ice is in my near future.....................So freaking nervous.

    oof - good luck with it!

    Do you know if you're pushing it too much (discomfort) or does all seem to be good until the tare happens?

    Dr says I SHOULD be ok. LOL. No one ever accused me of being smart. It just gets sore after I run. It is what it is, and this has been a life long dream. Good news is if I fail, I can always re test next time a position is open. Lots of life changes happening here, I think for the better.

    Dr also laughed when I requested a note saying I should wear my cast boot thing. I am going to look so awesome!

    Good luck with it! "Playing through" any injury is tough. Yet another thing tying to keep ya down. Fight through it as you know you can, and you will be fine!

    How did your foot hold up? Dont let it get you down bud like you said you have 364 days of training and hopefully you wont have a bum foot again. Most of all good job you tried.

    foot did pretty well. Smoked my previous time on the 300m by 12 sec. Ripped a stitch out during push ups. Failed the sit ups. supposed to hit 28 in 1 min. got to 18, with 30 sec left, did two more, and had nothing left. I am told as an adult crying in the closet is not allowed, so I am trying to think positive. Really down on myself right now. They do not have hiring classes every year, so who knows.
