Training was a little light this week, thanks to travel and meetings in Philadelphia. I endured several treadmill runs plus one muscular endurance workout and one high intensity AeT run.
I rounded out the week with back-to-back double hikes up the cable line trail on Tiger mountain with a 33 pound pack. The cable line trail is steep, rocky, but thankfully short, gaining 2,022 feet in 1.5 miles. It's one of those trails visited mostly by people training for something. We're all heaving and sweating under heavy packs, carefully manuvering in heavy montaineering boots on loose rock. Those of us completing the hike multiple times just nod and grunt at one another with as our ear buds blast motivational tunes.

In May - actually five months ago to the day - I hiked up the cable line trail without any weight in 53 minutes, this weekend my fastest time was 1:06. Even though it was tough, I feel like my aerobic fitness has definitely improved!
I've also spent some quality time this weekend with the Hypoxico tent. I feel like I haven't spent as much time sleeping in the hypocic tent or doing hypoxic training. So, twice this weekend, I turned the tent into my office. Murray, of course joined me. He just can't stay out of that thing!
