Fit as a Fourth Grader

I gave a talk at a culture camp in Baxter, MN for adoptive parents. The camp was located at an elementary school. In between talks, I wandered the school hallways, including a stop at the gymnasium. I noticed the top scores on the physical fitness tests. For 4th grade boys, the most pull-ups last year was 13 (12 for girls). For 5th grade boys, the most pull-ups last year was 14 (12 or 13 for girls). The all-time school records for boys in 4th and 5th grade were 19 and 24 pull-ups, respectively! Dang. A few months ago, we had a pull-up contest (which I won) but I was only able to do 12-13 pull-ups. Hm... guess I am as fit as a 4th grader. Hrmph. Maybe I need to add this exercise challenge to my fitness goal.
