I understand the addiction - have been doing the Incline twice a week - Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 5:30 for 3 years. Posted a 28:15 in July at age 50. Once in awhile will only do half and once a great while will do breakfast instead. Otherwise it's up to the top.

Thanks Tim! My problem is turning me into quite the endurance athlete so I guess I'll just keep on keeping on as long as I'm able.

Michael, you are a sick, sick man..... kidding. But admitting you have a problem is half the battle. Keep on keeping on!

I also have to admit that after getting done I was excited to get home and post this on here. Since I've had a shower and time to clear my delirious head I realized that admission is not the word I was trying to say and I also have to admit that admition is not a word either, but when you've been up and down that much I think you have an excuse to say just about what ever you want. I'll probably be back up on Friday if anyone wants to join me.

I have an admission to make. I am an addict. I've been addicted for 6 months. I can't get enough no matter how much I do it. It is the Incline. Today, 9-27-11 I did a Triple. I did 29:58, 38:09, and 39:55. Altogether ups and downs and breaks to get the rocks out etc it took about 3 hours and twenty minutes. Stupid or crazy? Addict.

Jeff, I've done it when it was 13 below, just to see if I could do it. I could, and I was the only one out there ..... go figure.

Lol Tim... Rob, the winter pics are great! I have a feeling I'll be up there all winter too, so I'll look into some traction devices..
