1000 miles on my Commuter Bike

I thought I'd hit 1000 miles earlier this month but I let my odometer sit at 970 then took vacation and got sick.  So, after an afternoon of riding, I finally hit 1000 while riding around the tidal basin.

Goal 4: Complete One Unassisted Pullup

I realize that pullups are second nature to many people, but I've generally just treated pullup bars as a fun place to play.  Despite having one in my kitchen, I still am unable to complete a full pullup unassisted.  So, my newest goal is to complete one full unassisted pullup (any grip) by my next birthday.  Definitely an attainable goal, but I need to stop simply hanging from the bar and start trying to lift myself up :-)

Stairclimbing Season has Started!

After my company discontinued the popular stair climbing competition around Christmas this year, several coworkers and I started up our own office contest.

Week one is done and I have not climbed as much as I should have (and eaten way more than I should have).

I'm using this to train for the Hustle Up the Hancock on 26 February. I need to get training...
