i’ve looked at that hike and the recommended 6 months and wondered why anyone wasn’t in any kind of hurry. i think i could get it in 90 days and feel great about it. 40 seems bonkers.

can I get her number?!?!?! 
Hit heart rate of 184 today. Using the Max HR = 220 - age rule, I am asserting that I am 36.
I was pushing pretty hard, but was not all out, think I could get a year or two younger if I worked at it.

I noticed something similar. I could maintain the 160s for about an hour. If I ventured into the 170s however, I would be toast within a few minutes.
My son had to run a mile in PE. He has not been running much, but he does occasionally run a hard 400 at the end of his band practice. I guess that threw off his perception of pace, as he ran the first lap in 70 seconds. Ended with a 5:45.
He is officially faster than me for the mile. Think a 5K might be close.

I once worked with a guy who had this logic, but about cold showers. As ridiculous as it sounds to me, he was one of the happiest people I’ve known.
I won the shoe lotto last night at the local run store + Mizuno rep sponsored run. I get a free pair of Mizuno shoes.
I do not like running with this store because they are so unorganized and unfriendly. Last night they had a new route and I asked the “leader” how many miles it was. He says “oh about 3”. It was 4.3 miles. Also, when I got back they were already calling off the lotto winning tickets (that you got once you finished running). I grabbed one quick and told them there were still three other runners out there. They proceeded to call off winners for other items. UGH!
