There are always reasons to NOT do something.

Seth has a great post about this today. Any post that mentions chicken entrails is a must-read in my book!

Aren't there about 3 things you've been sitting on that would really, truly make things better for your neighborhood, town, city, county, state, country, world, if you simply made them happen? If now is not a good time for you, when would be better?

Setting a new goal September 26, 2008

First, let’s start with the good stuff: I am very, very happy with the overall results from the changes I’ve made in eating and in shifting my workouts to something more challenging. It’s been about 18 months now, and I can honestly say that it feels like I’m cheating the Grim Reaper.

There are a couple of nits, though. For instance, I’ve not yet been able to do a kipping pull-up. This is starting to drag me down because this movement gives one a big advantage in doing continuous pull-ups. On a good day, I can do 16 standard overhand pull-ups without stopping. When people figure out how to do the kipping pull-up, they see at least a 33% improvement in their continuous count. So, this would put me in the neighborhood of 21 or 22 without stopping.

This is important because when we do a series for time, say any of the ‘named’ workouts, like Helen, their are a couple of keys things that get your time. They are to always stay moving, and to reduce your rest time.
Which brings us to today’s workout….
