Canadian Forces PT Award - Level 2!!
Good day, Everyone!I'm happy to report that I achieved my 2nd level wrt the CF Physical Training Award! Some people laugh about it - "oh, that silly old thing!" But I love waking up each day, knowing that I have an opportunity to log some miles - and get a little bit of personal pride out of the effort.
The hard part is recording all of the units that you accomplish - but it seems that once you get a system figured out, then all you have to do is the workout!
The way it works is you let the PSP staff at the Base gym know that you want to start the clock (so to speak) for the PT award. From that day on, you have 2years to accomplish 2000 units. Some units are acquired on a 1 to 1 basis - ex. 1km of running is 1 unit. But there are some sports where you have do do a bit more work for a single unit - ex. 3km of biking (or 7mins) is 1 unit. Once you have attained 2000 units, you let the PSP staff at the Base gym know you have accomplished 2000 units - and that's that. Every time you complete 2000 units, you get a seal. So, it's not a great-big deal to some folk - but like I said - it's for the personal pride in accomplishing something.
I'll be starting the 3rd level tomorrow - and I wonder if I'll be able to get 2000 units before I head to Mount Everest! Let's find out!
Talk to ya'll later!
