So I haven’t been around the blogosphere for a while. 12 to 14 hour work days tend to remove much of the motivation to do things like this, though.
Today, I walked a mile. And when I was done, it took about 45 minutes. And I was happy about it. That’s because that mile of 5280 feet included a vertical gain of 2011 feet. That’s an average grade of 41%! Hopefully doing long hikes like I did last week and grueling short hikes like this one will get me in shape for doing 14ers this summer (that’s a Colorado thing of summiting mountain peaks above 14,000 feet, such as Pike’s Peak).
Right now, I’m tired.
