Under the gun

[Uuaww]

I have just been notified that I am in the running for a job. This job requires me to be in top physical condition.
The low down:
I am 23, 5'11" 175lbs.
Decent shape
Run 1.5 miles in approx. 14 minutes, maybe less.
Can do 1 pull up
Can do 20 pushups

What I need:
1.5 miles in approx 12 minutes
10 pull ups
35 pushups

How long would I need to acheive these goals? I am very driven, but I can't beat physics. I figure I need to diet, lose 10 lbs to make the pullups easier.

Don't sell yourself short, but instead, work at least a few days each week on those specific skills, and I bet within a few weeks you'll be good to go.
