pull-ups

The biggest part of this run was the pull-ups.  I did 18 again; this time not stopping to rest until after the 14th.  My spirit was trashed after 18.  The bar I found was at the elementary school.  It was of a large diameter so I didn’t get a totally comfortable grip.  Just the thought of 18 pull-ups is daunting.  Then to quit after 18 means that a guy MUST be exhausted.  Think of it.  To be at the position of having done 18 pull-ups!  If your goal is 20, you have just 2 more (obviously).  To get back to that position of having done 18 will take huge effort.  I have to continue with the pull-ups; my body is in a superb place right now.  I must maintain this level.  I wonder what I am going to find in Moscow—WAIT!  I will be in Albania for a couple weeks after I leave the US, and I KNOW there are plenty of pull-up places there.
My goal:  21 pull-ups before I arrive in Moscow.
