Which Goofy are you?

My attitude about health is simple. Don’t be a goofball.

Mountain lungs and legs

Social media screen shot
October 4’s six-hour, global Face Book shutdown brought out the folks who are sick of social media, particularly Face Book. Photo: LinkedIn update screen shot from 35k’. 

What if folks got sick of a sedentary lifestyle and committed to “pausing the sloth” and activated their “play” button?

In both cases, it’s a safe bet to know that old habits die hard. 

Neither pause will last. 

No crystal ball is needed. 

This is the great human challenge. 

To find the discipline to move, eat, and rest like life depended on it. 

Congrats on disciplining yourself to do the right (obvious) things for the right (obvious) reasons. Be a bright light for others. 

Ps. Looking forward to hiking at “sea level” in an hour. Will enjoy the mountain lungs and legs while they last.

23 Oberlin

50-second video:

This Summer, summited 8,200’ Oberlin five times the first week i arrived in July. First trip up was 100 minutes. 

Previous best time, without trying to make it feel like a race – just moving at a strong, steady clip – is 58 minutes, in 2020 (last year). 

Yesterday’s 50-minute ascent destroyed what i thought was the limit, 58 mins. 

Nope. 

Maybe after 22 previous ascents, time spent way-finding is close to zero.

Obsessed?

Great song.

Glacier.

Already ready to go?

Yes and no.

Yes for family. No for hiking.

Reynolds Catwalk

  • Yesterday’s hike took us past Hidden Lake, and far off Hidden Lake trail’s well-worn wooden boardwalk. 
  • Ten miles. Six hours. Zero people but us out on the catwalk. 
  • View as we head back towards Mt Reynolds. 
Glacier National Park 2021.

If you could hike 10 miles in Glacier National Park near the Continental Divide, would you do it? Could you do it?

And if the elevation averaged 7,000’, still doable?

And if the wind was constantly blowing at either side of 30+ mph?

My answers: yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Yesterday’s 10-miler behind Mt Reynolds, in the hard-blowing cold, high-elevation wind was extraordinary. 

Live like you mean it!
