Holy hades. I should've used the heart rate monitor.

I'm considering the http://attackpoint.org/eventdetail.jsp/event_9520 Kahtoola Mountain run, which is either 4k or 8k of running on a ski hill with 300m of climb per 4k. Winning pace last year was around 10:00/mile, so I thought I would try 10% grade @ 6 mph.

I thought I might die after 1/3rd of a mile.

So I did repeats of 0.3 @ 6 mph & 10%, followed by a ~3/4 mile rest of 4 mph, 1%.

So that kinda rules out the 8k since it's in five weeks or so.

Sleepy walk out at the four seasons nature preserve near Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. It kind of has a random boardwalk out to a spot in the swamp where they got tired of building a boardwalk, and then build an observation tower. We would've walked more, but I'm not much for laps and we about covered it with the mile. Nice weather for it.

Nice walk of a glacial conservation area near Richmond, IL. http://dnr.state.il.us/inpc/directory/sitefiles/ar... Some hills made it sort of a work out. If I lived here, I would jog the snot out of this place. Great views abound.

Drove to Wisconsin.

Big rapids to in laws place east of Morley. Mostly on roads; forgot to ask how to get on White Pine trail, so I was only on that for a couple miles near rhe end. Nice day; bit of a head wind.

1 mile run, half mile walk, 1.25 run, half mile walk, quarter mile run. dark country roads were a little creepy; highest heartrate was probably while walking as a large dog followed me a bit while barking loudly. For many meters glances back showed two eyes reflecting my headlamp.
