Don't blame me! Someone else asked. This thread needed to lighten up anyway.
Talked to my nephew today at Christmas dinner. I did 46 pull-ups that day (in a row). He remembered because that was how old I was when we did that crazy Dessert. He did 55--I thought I was watching a gorilla. I didn't remember the exact number because we were going for 100 and 46 was nothing more to me than a way too brief stop that day on the bar of pain to 100. We both left blood on the bar. He tore like 5 callouses off. I was lucky and only lost 3. We superglued them back on the next day and kept working out. He is 1/2 my age. I was bummed I didn't get 50.
After reminiscing of those days--and deciding we needed to get rid of some prime rib--we decided to go for a hike/run today up Rock Canyon trail with my crazy dog. 2 miles up (hike) and two back down (run). Rocky probably did 10 up and 10 down
I measured one of his leaps at 16 feet--uphill! He is the most graceful creature I have ever seen. I love that guy. There was over a foot of fresh snow on the trail. I absolutely love the canyons in the quiet snow.
