PSA: Hit 5000 feet of coax pulled in one week and my knees are still mad at me

Last month I had a big commercial job downtown that needed all new drops for a building remodel. I figured 5000 feet in five days was doable but man, crawling through attics and under raised floors that many times really adds up. By Thursday I was using a dolly to move spools because bending over hurt that bad. Anyone else track total footage and get surprised by how hard the physical side hits?

Are you sure it's not just your body telling you that you're getting older and maybe you need to slow down? I've been doing this work for twenty plus years and I stopped counting footage ages ago because it only made me feel sorry for myself. Some jobs are just going to hurt no matter what you do.

@xena_williams Respectfully, I'd argue that tracking footage keeps you humble and makes you plan smarter.
