Hello all! Just saw this thread and decided to post. Unsure of how to add a Google map of the trail I'm taking (it's called the Homestead Trail, and it goes through open space on the top of a series of Bluffs on the eastern side of Colorado Springs). I will try to put the map in a later post, once I figure that out. Otherwise, looks like I've made the grade. I'm trying to get into shape to climb what are called 14'ers here in Colorado--mountain peaks above 14,000 feet. My big goal is to walk up to the top of Pikes Peak here in Colorado Springs sometime in July--that's 24 miles round trip (though you can catch a train up/down if you like) and 7,000' elevation increase. The stats below show my improvements for the month of March. If I'm feeling up to it on Wednesday or Thursday, I'll bump my daily hike up to 9 or 10 miles per day. Here's the stats:

127.00 miles to date!

P.S. There is a discrepancy on the 6.51 and similar 6-mile walks due to the HRM/Pedometer I was using. I started using My Track on Android, which accounts for altitude gain/loss and uses GPS--it claimed the 6.+ track was actually 7 miles. Go figure. The 3, 4, and 5-mile hikes were different (and easier) routes.

Did 5 miles today!
5 + 69 = 74 miles

5 miles on the elliptical. Almost done. Only 4.25 to go.

3 lovely miles
