well, i am back. i will give you a very short run down of a very long weekend. friday night left for big south fork, got there and stayed up to 5am talking. slept til 8am, got up, hiked 17 miles with 30-40# backpack, saw some black bears, slept about 8 hours, got up and hiked about 7 miles with pack, .4 miles of which was straight uphill (finished hike early after nearly stepping on copperhead, really about 6 inches from him (the snake is not the reason we finished early)), grilled out, slept 5.5 hours, drove 4 hours home, cleaned up camping stuff, ate a little, went to sam's, ate a little more, shot my bow, ran 4 miles.
my run this afternoon was pretty hard, i guess from the good leg workout over the weekend. here are my times:
1m: 8:54 (pretty good)
1.5m: 13:18 (4:24)
2m: 18:10 (4:51) (pretty slow)
2.5m: 22:59 (4:48)(pretty slow)
3m: 27:19 (4:19)
4m: 37:09 (9:50)(slow, but good for this stretch)
so that gives an overall pace of about 9:17 min/mile. that is not too bad especially after the weekend workout i had.
the quote of the day is from Zeke. he made the comment and then utterly ignored his own advice. "If you pass water and you need water, get water." about 30 min after telling someone this 2 of the people in our group walked past 3 different streams without getting any water. funny thing is, neither had any water with them. so, because of this mistake, we had to walk an extra 4-5 miles on saturday afternoon. so here is my take on the situation: if you NEED something and someone puts it in front of your face offering it to you, take it. forget your pride, if someone wants to help you, let them. (do not take it without their permission and don't take it if they want you to do something that is against your morals, etc).
