Today, I did four pull-ups.
Somewhere, people...well...men...are reading this and shrugging. My male readers are surely thinking of the number of pull-ups they can do, a number which is probably higher than four. Perhaps they are wondering what is keeping me from doing five pull-ups - am I encumbered by Oompa Loompas hanging from my legs?
Somewhere people...other people...female non-aerialist people are slack-jawed with wonder. I have lifted my own body weight using only the power of my arms! Then, when I didn't die or explode, I did it again. Of course, then I had to do another one, just to make sure that the first two weren't a fluke. By that time, my legs were kicking a bit, so I decided that I would do one more and then declare myself a superhero. I am a superhero. My super power is upper body strength.
Tomorrow, I may try to do more of these "pull-ups." I may go as high as five.
aerials,
rock climbing,
yay,
fitness,
new powers,
using my powers for good
