You've been out running/hiking for roughly 28 hours now. Otherwise, I'd have already been put in my place by now.
 
Are you trying to incite a post of pics/proof of half naked dime pieces that have kept him off the board for the past day?

Nope. I am still out here. Just saw a fvcking diamondback, which has ruined my jog.

In the meantime, why don't you go back to the post I made about the topic a day or two ago, learn how to fvcking read, follow that simple instruction, and then I will respond:

What part of that do you have to hike?

Hike:
1) a long walk, especially in the country or wilderness.
2) to walk a long distance especially for pleasure or exercise : to go on a hike. : to suddenly increase the cost, amount, or level of (something) : to pull or lift (something, such as yourself or part of your clothing) with a quick movement.
3) A hike is a long walk in the country, especially one that you go on for pleasure. ... His economic plan, with its tax hikes and spending cuts, will slow the economy. 4. verb. To hike prices, rates, taxes, or quantities means to increase them suddenly or by a large amount.

That picture shows not even 10% of the fourteen miles of hiking/biking/jogging trails.

I guess I should have consulted a dictionary. I've always considered a hike as something that isn't runnable.

So on your "run/hike," how did you decide when to run and when to leisurely stroll through the wilderness?

If 14 miles has taken him nearly a day and a half, I’d say it’s all been a leisurely stroll.

Or you could have just asked me. I am just as reliable.

Everything is runnable. You may not be able to go very fast with certain terrains, but you can still run it. There are a handful of climbs on those trails that I run but am probably going slower than I am on a normal walk. They are ass-kickers.

I take into account a few factors. First, my goal is to always run 1.75 miles before walking. If I don't finish the 1.75 miles, I have to double the amount that is left after my first walk. For instance, say I only do 1.50 miles at first. That means I have to do twice the amount left (.25 x 2).

I purposely do less than 1.75 knowing that I will end up doing more for penalizing myself. Then, I do the same thing on the trails back.

Another factor, at least of which trails I take when I come to options, is the sun. Currently, my back is darker than my front, so I time the trails with my run distance that allows me to walk when the sun is in my face (more sun time on the front).

If it has taken you more than a day and a half to bump the post in question, I'd say you realized your post was absurd and don't really want me to respond to it.
 
I don't need to bump anything. You know which thread it was, and you know I'm right. That's why you're still avoiding me.

You should stop being a pussy and run it all. There are some trails in Putnam County that I've been running for the past 5 weekends that I love. About 20 miles of trails, all runnable, with about 2000 feet of elevation gain if you run the entire 20 miles. I love trail running; it's so much more fun than road running. I have to run 18 tomorrow morning on the road and I'm dreading it.
 
In my opinion, running is for fools. Only time I run is if the law is after me, and I'm trying to protect my bag of chronic.

That's something worth running for. To run just because the sun is shining? To hell with that.

Where are these trails Rox? I don’t run because I struggle with my back, but my wife and I are talking about possibly doing some trails. We try to walk 5 to 6 miles a day and would love to do some trail stuff with some moderate elevation as a diversion this summer. One of my video lottery locations is in Putnam county so I go that way quite a bit.
 
And a diamondback rifle? No thanks to that. I’ve grown up without a lot of fear of things, but snakes aren’t one of them. I hate snakes.

Eleanor Park. Very easy to get to, and the trailhead is only about a half mile from the main road, which makes it very convenient getting in and out. All the trails are hard marked (there's a 5k loop, a 25k loop and a 20 mile loop) and everything is walkable/runnable. They are in my opinion the best trails in the area. You could also hike the trails, depending on how much scenery you wanted to take in. It all depends on how pleasurable you want the outing to be.

I don't know what thread it was. It was last week. I also want you to bump it so that we call can see your exact wording and not be able to change what you said in another thread.

There is a reason why you avoided the thread after I asked if you really wanted me to show you who stupid your attempt at the analogy was.

I don't think it's the case of being a pussy. I have no desire to run 14 miles a day. I'd like to stay above 210 lbs., and if I run 14 miles a day in 80+ degree weather, I will quickly be at 190 lbs.

On the beach, I would routinely spend 3 hours daily doing a mix of running/walking 15 miles. That was worthwhile because you get to see dolphins, the beach, and plenty of bikinis. Running for 3 hours in the woods isn't quite as enjoyable.

And a diamondback rifle? No thanks to that. I’ve grown up without a lot of fear of things, but snakes aren’t one of them. I hate snakes.

I thought it was a diamondback based on the markings. I showed a local the picture/videos and he assured me that it was a baby rattler. I also despise snakes.

All the trails are hard marked and everything is walkable/runnable . . . You could also hike the trails, depending on how much scenery you wanted to take in.

Wait: all of the trails are runnable, but you can also hike them? I thought hiking only applied to things that aren't runnable?
 
Since riflearm is still deflecting, I bumped the other thread to prove that what I said happened is exactly what happened.
