Went for a high speed hike up and around the Big Bluestem to South Shanahan Ridge Loop today. I cranked through it just over an hour and a half, which is good considering my poor conditioning and the fact that it is a long steady climb in the clockwise rotation. 5.5 miles, including side trips. Hopefully this week I can make up some miles–right now I seem to have slipped to about 60% of goal, despite the improving weather.

In 2007 I am challenging myself to hike 1000 miles in a year.
That’s almost 20 miles a week, or about 2.75 miles every day.
Whenever I’ve mentioned this goal to friends, the reaction has
ranged “Wow, that’s a lot!” to “No problem! That
should be easy!” to “What, exactly, counts as a hike?
How long?” to “Cool, but you should give yourself extra
mileage for elevation gained” to “Does
jogging/walking/biking count?”...
