I woke up to my fourth decade of life at 6:08 yesterday morning next to a familiar girl still in her 20s. I remember those days. I used to practically jump out of bed, ready to grab the day by the shoulders and bend it over. Instead, it took me 20 minutes to motivate myself to walk 20 feet to the bathroom and brush my teeth. Still in a daze at the gym, I could not complete more than five consecutive pull-ups. OK, I could only do four at a time but would have pushed myself to five without the knowledge of having to finish three full sets. Plus my hands kept slipping because I had applied some Aveeno lotion earlier to soothe a recurrent patch of dry skin on my left index finger. So really, I was doing like six straight pull-ups. I also have extremely long arms, so really it was more like seven straight.
