Goals Before Heading Off to Ranger School

So I know I posted a list of my next APFT goals in my first post, but I feel that I owe it to everyone to post a list of all my goals, both short term and long term, that way I can be held accountable for my progress, as well as have a means of measure- especially since I have no desire to take the P90X or Insanity preworkout fitness test. As I said before, I will measure my progress based on the APFT, as well as the requirements and prerequisites for Ranger School.

Short Term Goals (Between now and April 30, 2010)

Run the Salt Lake City Marathon as my debut marathon- finish the race! (April 17, 2010)
Get overall weight below 180lbs (April 17, 2010)
Get my body fat percentage below 12 percent (April 30, 2010- though maybe I should put this in the long term goal section)
Max out my APFT test scores- 300 points total, 77 push ups in 2 min, 83 sit ups in 2 min, and a sub 13 min 2 mile (April 07, 2010)

Long Term Goals (no time limit on these, ideally within the next five years)

Pass Ranger School - with a dropout rate of 52+ percent, I figure this is a damn good goal to put up here
Run an ultra marathon 50 miles
Run an ultra marathon 100 miles
Qualify for the Boston Marathon

Ranger School Goals

90+ push ups in 2 min
90+ sit ups in 2 min
sub 13 min 2 mile
sub 40 min 5 mile
sub 3 hour 12 mile ruck march with 65 lbs
20+ 'good form' pull ups

So again, here are my goals that I can be measured up against. It is these goals that motivate me to continue with my workouts and to push through soreness and discomfort. I appreciate the questions, concerns, and comments so feel free to hit the comment button below and post away.
