The local high school allows the public to use the track field on weekends; I ought to see what I can do sometime. The stamina I'm not so much worried about, but I don't think I could get the speed without building up to it over a few weeks of practice. To do 7 in 2 hours would going around the whole track once every 5 minutes on average.

Keep a steady pace, but I'm always seeing people who walk for a routine walkout blowing my doors off on the bridge.William S.

Would that something like 3-3 1/2 hours at an even pace with no breaks? <br /> <br />If I had detention in high school, I had to walk home, which was in the next town over, about 2 miles away, and that was 45 minutes to an hour. Of course, shorter in rural PA to cut through the woods, but then you might get lucky and get a ride from someone who recognized you if you walked the main road.<br /><br />I used to be able to keep weight off just because I didn't have drive and would walk all over town all day long. Now it has to be 30 minutes of calisthenics every day. Beatles Comment Guynoreply@blogger.com
