The boys and I rode our bikes – with much fit throwing by my youngest – to the middle school and took the Presidential Fitness Challenge as promised.
Here’s the results for all of us:
| Event | Ron (40) | Elijah (13) | Micah (12) |
| Curl Ups (sit ups) | 23 | 12 | 9 |
| Shuttle Run | 11 sec (approx) | 14.1 sec | 15.34 sec |
| Push ups | 18 | 8 (knee) | 10 (knee) |
| One Mile Run | 15 min 49 secs | 17 min 21 secs | 20 min 5 secs |
One of the boys was timing my shuttle run and messed up stopping so that is approximate.
Micah says he could have done full push-ups and well have him do them again at a later date. They are done 1 every 3 seconds which is a little weird.
I was pretty exhausted by the time we got to the run/walk. Shouldn’t have ridden out bikes the half mile or so to the test. And I was still recovering from being ill. Still I know I’m out of shape.
