Push yourself to the max!
At 6 a.m. Sept. 23, Lt. Col. Patrick Castle lined up on the James Gym track for his 1 1/2 mile run portion of the Air Force's annual fitness test, having just completed a marathon 11 days previously. Normally this is the time period for athletes to recover and slowly rebuild their muscles, not push them further in a sprint to break their own speed record. But this is exactly what Colonel Castle set out to do. Never mind that he could seemingly easily jog the required 9 minute and 48 second pace needed to get the maximum points for men in his age group; his best time is 8:12. Since testing began under the new Air Force standards in July, the evaluators say his is the fastest time on base ... so far. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Brian Valencia)
