Just finished traversing Zion from the East Rim trail to West, out Lee Pass. Pretty brutal as I hardly trained.

Will it matter? I think you get used to cars going by. Supposedly. That's way they say, anyway. I'll only road bike very early on Sat or Sun, though.
I lifted 45,000 pounds of weights in the gym today. It took three hours and forty minutes. All barbells, no machines, none of those contraptions called kettle balls and no dumbbells. I avoid burpees. I am not very strong so I have to pace myself. I think I can finally do ten pull ups in a row now.
Going to Yosemite soon. Gotta concentrate on making climbing moves now. I hope I to slither up those cracks. Hopefully God will help me.

As a constant lurker of this thread, I am always amazed at the great feats all of you perform regularly.
So I shall hijack the thread a little bit.
I have a question to those more competent and knowledgable in the ways of becoming an aerobic master.
To set the scene: my aerobic workout nowadays is trail running, usually in the vicinity of 90-120 minutes.
The question: How could I (or should I) lower my pulse? If I slap on a watch, I usually average around 180-185 bpm (including slower descents) and can easily peak at or above 200 bpm. Now I am young (31), so peak is OK, but the average seems high to me. Is it?
If I go lower, I have to basically walk a lot or just feel very slow. The high bpm doesn't bother me in terms of fatigue, pain etc., but it just seems excessive.
Any thoughts?
Apart from Yer gunna die.
Thanks,
Lasti

That average seems pretty high to me, but then again Im not medically trained so take what I say lightly.
Best way to decrease your beats is with a bigger lower state base. Go on runs where you dont hit over 150. It may be hard, actually very hard, but you can view these runs as active recovery almost. I had about 2 months worth of base like this before I really started pushing it.

Took about a five mile walk with my dog the other day . I tore my left quad sprinting a couple months ago and so I've been taking it easy on the legs. The long walk felt good . No problem.

Ran 2:11 last week, and was able to climb hard at the gym afterwards! Very challeging course with rocks, rocks and more rocks. Very evident that I need to build my base mileage with some long runs. Thanks for the encouragement Jaybro.

Last night I thought I'd try to stay in the mosh pit for an entire Primus show. Two full sets plus an encore. It was well beyond a 10k and pushing a half in terms of physical output.
Good stuff.

Jaybro's always doing something like that. Sully that is very impressive marathon speed. Last winter I ran on a treadmill for 30 minutes, my basic speed is 7:30/mi and I was just trying to get comfortable at the 7:00 min pace. (for 4 mi) But that is really pushing it for me. Since the weather got nice I'm running outside, a 7 mile trail run 4 times a week, and I think I'm maintaining the 7:30 pace. A few years ago I would have been at the 9 or 10 min pace trying to run 15 miles, but I found that just injured me. I am still a little weak in the forearms but its bouldering season now too.

^^^^. Yeah Ms Elite Runner....I never got the speed thing, just endurance...the b&w pic looks like one of those old classics where some guy looks like he's going to shove you off the course because women aren't supposed to be running marathons. And the guy next to you looks like the puke factor is kicking in.
Glad the knee is healing up.
Hope to catch up with you soon...

Ha ha Susan! That's what I thought too. My first thought was what's her name in the Boston marathon!
