From 0 To 10 Pull-Ups: Day 13

It was nice to read supportive comments of the previous post saying that I will soon reach the halfway. When you are in the middle of the challenge, you don’t see if you are moving at all. But I guess people who are looking from the outside can see this.

Because it can get pretty lonely after just 13 days into this mess, every bit of support is wonderful to get. I know it’s nothing to the dangers people face when sailing around the world but the feeling is a bit similar.

You left the land 13 days ago but you can’t yet see the shore. So the only way forward is to continue the voyage. But you also know that the worst it yet to come… For me it feels like I’m committed to see this challenge through but even the midpoint is nowhere in sight.

So this morning I did 2 reps of 2 pull-ups and 5 reps of 1 pull-up with the rest in between the exercises to pick up fallen apples. To my surprise, those initial 2 reps of 2 pull-ups went smoother than yesterday.

If I don’t hurt myself with this routine, maybe, just maybe I can reach 5 pull-ups in a month or so.
