My 19 year old son and I scaled over 800 feet in 28 minutes to get to the top, 1137 feet, of Mt Tom this past Sunday. I had to stop a few times to check my heart rate and kept each stop to less than 2 minutes once I determined my heart rate was at 70 percent intensity for my age. My legs and butt are sore. This is another accomplishment exactly two weeks since my half marathon. This event was unplanned for us. My son was telling me about the prior weekend where he did climbed it with his buddies and it took them 2.5 hours to go up and a little over 2 hours to go down. There are 22 miles of trails at this Mountain. We just happened to take the most direct path to get up. Getting leaner, stronger, and faster. In a good place right now.

I don't think I would want to do that by myself in case of an emergency.

You should be proud and pleased! Good for you to be claiming your right to be strong and healthy! Is this Mt. Tom in Western MA? I live nearby.

Ches, I live across the river in Hadley and can see Mt Tom from my dining room window! It's funny to realize a geographical connection to a cyber buddy! It was pretty hot on Sunday for climbing mountains!

I couldn't walk today during lunch because I didn't want to come back drenched in sweat with a temp of 93 with a feel like of 100 degrees. I can't wait to get home, change into some workout clothes and get outside sweat it out. I can do this, you can do this, LET's ALL GET IT DONE!!!!
