I leave for basic in 8 days and I have the feeling the all my fretting is probably just cold feet but...

My recruiter has made it sound like there's almost no running at boot camp to prep for the prt. I run three times a week, and I have been for months, but I'm just not that fast. I have plenty of stamina... I can keep going for miles, but I've never been speedy. At best my 1.5 mile run is between 15:30 and 16 and as a 24 year old female I need to be down to 14 minutes or less. Am I going to be able to work and shave any time off at all during boot? I've never been super athletic, I just run because I enjoy it. I'll talk to my recruiter at our next meeting tomorrow, but does anyone here have any advice?
