I still remember realizing that the Presidential Physical Fitness Award testing would be happening at my grade school. I wouldn't put it past myself that I faked sickness to try & miss those dreaded days. The humiliation of trying to do pull-ups in front of my peers still gives me the willies.

I thought about looking up the requirements and posting them here, but then realized that I still probably couldn't do the pull-ups required of an eight-year-old, so I decided against it.
