I won't be at the gym tomorrow so I did my final pullups today. I did 13, so I improved by 8. That may sound good, but it is a bit dissappointing since after about 2 weeks of the competition I was up to 12 and over the last few weeks have only gotten 1 more and I did work on it 3 times a week the whole time..

After some mild weight training I did 30 mins on the Arc Trainer. I think I will do some jumping and maybe some core work tonight.

I did about 40 mins of jumping and core exercises.

Sweet job there Rhett. 13 is really quite a huge improvement. Is the contest coming to a close soon?? I got to get on it more.:)

13 pullups?!!! Dang, I can't even get one. Way to go!!!

From rhett on Tue, Jan 06, 2009 at 13:54:11

I think tomorrow is supposed to be the final day.

Oh Rhett I almost beat you with my .3 pull-up (I can't even use the plural pull-ups)! I bet that is why you worked so hard... you thought I might beat you.

Seriously though 13 pull-ups is dang good! I noticed that my running form is better when I work on my back have you noticed a change?

From rhett on Tue, Jan 06, 2009 at 14:11:16

I agree that doing any core resistance training really helps maintain better running form, especially as I begin to tire at the end of a long hard run.

Umm, I googled pullups (to see if there's any trick or proper form in doing it.) I got "Huggies" (as in baby diapers). LOL!!! I am so OVER that or may be TOO OLD for both (the contest and the baby pullups thing).

Kathie,

I think I can do 0.4 pull up. Tomorrow is the final day. Are you scared?

From Kathie on Tue, Jan 06, 2009 at 20:14:17

Oh smooth I don't care if I have to work all night I will turn my .3 into a .45 just to beat you! :0

Stud on the pull ups.

Rhett,

You are the pullup maestro!! That is AWESOME!! Okay, tell me again, what is your goal for Painters?

From rhett on Wed, Jan 07, 2009 at 17:33:14

I am hoping to get under 1:26 if I'm having a good day. If I'm not having a good day, I'd like to get under 1:28. That is what I ran the 2nd half of SGM in and is my current 1/2 PR.
