 Attempted graze first attempt of the year. This is a 14,000 foot mountain here in Colorado It's about 45 minutes from my 50 minutes from my house. So it's nice and close I can just drive here zip up zip down as best I can however the snow might be an issue a Reigned in Denver yesterday. So we might be bad a little bit icy conditions up there. I'm trying to decide which Solomon shoes I Should wear these guys cuz they've got the nice gator or just my regular speed cross-fours. These are the XA Alpine shoes Anyway, onward we go. It's a beautiful morning beautiful drive up here and Let's roll It's snowing It's snowing See community verse 14 or 2018 Graze peak probably get up this mountain about 12 times this summer. What is a 14er? Whoa What is a 14er? It's a 14,000 foot peak here in Colorado? We have 54 that go over 14,000 feet of elevation so bottom line we're very blessed for high altitude training and That's my secret sauce for the running Formula although it's getting a little chilly. I gotta get off Solid run solid run first time up a 14er in 2018. That was hot I've been counting down for months now. When can I get up graze and Tories and today was the day? I just I just did graze today and So total was 237 so it's 12 miles six miles up six miles down with I think it's about 4,000 feet of vertical so you know quite a bit So usually I run about 220 now listen this year. I was there this today I was fighting ice and snow along the way So, you know that probably added five to eight minutes I wasn't you know, it was maybe 15% of the run was on ice and snow So it definitely slowed me down, but I Was an hour Dang was an hour 33 to the top and last year my best time to the top was an hour 17 so you know about 15 minutes about 15 minutes little over 15 minutes maybe to the Top slower, which is fine because this is the first time going up this year and your body isn't it incredible the design Of our bodies like we can adapt and use our free will as human beings to make decisions to say I want to get faster at my Half marathon time. I want to make a better brownie This week so I'm gonna practice three times this week at making a better brownie I want to be a better portrait photographer all these different ways that I'm sure out there You are thinking what is my talent? How am I gonna get better? How often do I have to practice to get better? It's just crazy like in our bodies adapt our lung capacity like our lungs As runners adapt to the altitude over the course of the summer So I just want to mark down it was an hour 33 to the top I hope this year that you know in the next two to three months to blow that time out of the well out of the Water probably go for like 115 if I could hit 115 to the top. Whoa, that'd be amazing so anyway question the day What? talent do you Want to get better at in the next three months? It could be sewing. It could be driving your car. It could be Making lunch for your kids. It could be It could be making a campfire it could be Cleaning your windows. I don't know. I don't know what do you want to get better at? What's your talent that you want to work on it could be truly be anything Like I'm watching a gentleman across the parking lot here pick up trash. God love his heart and It's like that might be something he wants to Do and give back and get better at it. So anyway Filming with a phone cuz we're tired and we're hungry.
