Congratulations, whispering hands! Awesome!whispering hands said:I set a new record today too! I added a bit of jogging into my mile in the Garden today, and I ended up doing my
Mile in 25 minutes! That was amazing! I have not run like that since I was a kid!!There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

Yes! I think I might add some jogging in my routine. I just have to be really careful, because of not being able to feel my feet. But I can run on the road part of the trail.. plus, there are paved walkways at the side of the road all the way through GOG.. so I think I can add it in there!!0

You need to branch out more! GOG is the most overrated natural feature in Colorado, it pales in comparison to the Indian Peaks Wilderness, the Uncompahgre, or any of the high country.
I understand it is close to you so obviously it makes sense that it's your go-to, would be mine too, but I was severely disappointed with GoG, features like that are dime a dozen along the Front Range and not worth a penny a dozen in Arizona or Utah.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
Yes, I plan on it. My transmission is going out. Once I have that fixed, school paid for, and my own place, I plan on roaming about. Priorities. Until then, I can walk here.rgambs said:

In the meantime, I bet you could find a hiking group to join that would carpool you to trail heads and keep you company, hiking is a big deal out there.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
If you're running in The Springs this should be your goal. .....whispering hands said:

Up the Incline..4 times now.. i can't feel my feet. Running up that would be stupid for me. Climbing Pike's Peak is my next big goal. But yeah.. last time I did the Incline, I got passed up by an elderly man RUNNING up it!!
My sister runs up that thing.. crazy..0 -

Chest and leg day. After being a slacker for a while, my max bench press dropped to 185 from 215. Got it back up over 200 today. Woo! Did 617 on the leg press. New personal record. I can already tell I will be sore tomorrow.0

Started my run pretty rough this morning, felt low energy and sore, still stiff from the weighted stairs yesterday. Almost jumped off the old Pac Man machine a couple times in the first 15 minutes, but I stuck it out...Reduced my speed from 6 to 5 , then even a little lower...Stopped and stretched for 30 seconds 2 times and stuck it out. When I hit 35 or 40 minutes I started feeling strong, so I worked my way up to 6.5 and held it there for thd final 15 minutes. Sweat was pouring, knees were pumping, ended up being a great workout...60 minutes, 4.75 miles, 750 calories
Glad I stuck it out when it felt like a bag of dicks, it feels good to push through a shit workout and transform it into one that feels good...maybe I can afford myself a lunch today lolPost edited by rgambs onMonkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
When I started on the treadmill I could only sustain 4.5mph for 20minutes, then I upped the speed and alternated taking it down to 3.8 for rest periods now I can do 5.5 for 40 minutes on a weak day and an hour if I'm feeling strong. Usually I alternate from 7 down to 4.5 throughout an hour. I have pretty short legs so 7 is a sprint for me, I see women and some guys doing 7 and they look like they are barely jogging lol I am next to them looking like the Fred Flintstone just beatin' feet.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0

This image made me laugh. I know what you mean!

Long legs, is a marathon runner etc.. and I have these stubby little legs! When we hike together, it looks like a Tennessee Walker next to a Paso Fino! Lol or at least that's how it feels
I guess ya'll should google those horses.. it's not as funny if you don't understand the the difference in gait.0 -
Haha I don't know those breeds, but I am picturing an Arabian next to a wild pony lol. My wife is just an inch shorter than me, if that, and her hip is almost at my navel, so when she walks fast I have to get my jog on. I'm all torso, it makes me a solid wrestler, but locomotion isn't my strong suit!whispering hands said:
