Pull-ups update

Some of you may remember my post about the 100,000 pull-up challenge. Basically, the idea behind this was to do a number of pull-ups on the bar in my studio each day, keeping a tally until I reached a total of 100,000. Unfortunately, the studio was never finished and the building changed hands meaning that we no longer own that room, and I don't have regular access to it (although it is not currently occupied). Still, whenever I've had a spare few minutes I've been venturing down into the dark basement room to continue my pull-up challenge. This has had to fit in around my work, so I'm currently well behind schedule with the task. Today though, I reached the 15,000 mark. Most of my colleagues tend to go to the local pub at lunch time for a beer and a burger. This is always a good opportunity to add a couple of hundred to my pull-up tally. The way I see it, when they're eating and drinking rubbish and making their bodies worse, I'm improving mine. The lunch time sessions don't happen every day, but when they do, it usually takes me half an hour or so to get 200 done. As you can see from this badly lit, out of focus photo, the room has no lighting and so I'm doing this challenge in minimal light. I set the timer on the camera to get this shot. It's the best I could get in the poor lighting conditions, but you get the idea.

Over the coming months, I'll continue to work on this challenge, still with the ultimate goal of reaching a total of 100,000. It will just take me a little longer than I originally envisaged.
