You may have noticed that I've focused on pull ups more than ever. Instead of the the 30 every other day, I've managed to pull out a hundred plus every day to meet the pull up challenge I've currently joined. So far I've done over 2000 in a few weeks. My goal is 10,000 by the time the contest ends.

I'm also doing a lot of weight bearing exercises as the passed few races that I've competed in now demand. Where in years past, the obstacles were mere speed bumps to slow down fast runners, lately they've required Herculean strength and Homerian effort.

I'm still taking a running break for the next week. After that, I'm going to add a few more miles to my already 20 mile week.

Walk 1 mile
10 pull ups x 10 using various grips
2 x 10 Romanian deadlifts
2 x overhead dumbbell presses
2 x dumbbell curls

5 x 20 second grip holds

Walk 1 mile with 2 25-30 pound sand bags. Carry them any way you can and for as long as you can.
