I was doing pull-ups when the first bead of sweat dripped down my face. By the third round the sweat was running in rivulets along my spine. My muscles ached and begged for mercy, but I ignored them. All I could think of getting my chin above that bar one more time…and then one more.
I fought and gasped and struggled for just one more rep.
Until at last I lay on the floor gasping for breath.
Triumphant.
