Steve Oliphant’s Musings

I used to be in lots better physical shape then I currently am. I could do 20+ pullups, 120 situps in less then 2 minutes, and run 3 miles in 19:40. I also weighed less than 180lbs and was 18 years younger.

Currently, I can do 3-4 pullups, no idea on the situps, but probably around 30, and I can walk 2 miles in about 30 minutes. I weigh over 220 lbs.

I am getting back to where I used to be, and plan to be even better.

Today I took action. There is a 1/2 mile paved jogging trail near where I work that also has pullup bars by it. I walked 4 laps (2 miles) and between each lap I did 2 pullups. I also did 20 pushups (I could have and should have done more.)

It took me about 35 minutes total. I got to enjoy the sunshine and the feel of my body moving.

Tomorrow I will repeat what I did today.

What is your objective? Is it measurable? Is it actionable?

What did you do today to move towards it?

What will you do tomorrow to move towards it?
