Hit 10,000 feet of coax pulled in a single week last month

I've been doing this for 15 years now and I never counted until my foreman dared me to keep track last month. Got curious one Tuesday morning and started logging every drop. By Friday afternoon I was at 9,400 feet and I pushed hard to crack 10,000 before clocking out. That's almost 2 miles of cable in 5 days. My shoulders felt it the whole weekend. Back when I started we were lucky to pull 2,000 feet a week with all the daisy-chaining and splitters. Now with direct runs and new construction it's just nonstop. Anyone else ever tally up their weekly pull just to see where you're at?

I used to be the guy who thought tracking your pulls was a waste of time, just another excuse to stare at a spreadsheet instead of working. But then I tried it one rainy week when we were doing a big office complex reno, and I hit 8,500 feet by Thursday. Changed my whole view on pacing myself. Now I keep a little tally in my notebook and it actually helps me plan my lunch breaks better so I don't burn out by Friday.
