The most coveted middle school award (I was too cool to care once high school came around).
Relive your most agonizing childhood memories by taking...The Presidential Fitness Test...for Adults.
I think I found the link to this in the NY Times, but I can't find it now. Anyway, it really was Luis who inspired me to post it. Ever since he took it, his been lifting up his shirt, looking in the mirror, asking me "Do I look obese?" According to the Presidential Fitness Standards, Luis is "overweight. at increased risk for disease." Those of you who know Luis can attest to this being ridiculous. So if you decide to do the test, take your results with a grain of salt. And be glad you are not being made to do it in front of your entire gym class then made to line up in order of results (damn you Mrs. Gelman).

For the record, I earned two presidental fitness awards when I was in elementary school and have the patches to prove it. There was no skipping involved.
