I AM NOT ROGER BANNISTER

It is good when a child, wife or parent say nice things about their father, husband or child. Just a few weeks ago my Mom was bragging about my achievements as she was telling her brother that I walk at a speed of a 4 minute mile. That would be quite an achievement. On May 6, 1954 Roger Bannister became the first person to break the four minute mile. My achievements are not quite as noteworthy. I do tell people that my walking speed is usually a bit faster than 4MPH, which is not quite the same thing as a four minute mile. Yesterday, I did achieve something notable, which was that I was able to maintain a walking speed of 5MPH for two full hours (1:59:39).  I noticed that the calorie burn from walking that fast was higher than normal. Once I finished this 10 mile, 2 hour hike I returned home ostensibly to take a bike ride with my daughter as we had originally planned. My daughter preferred to take a walk to Toys R Us to purchase a $3.00 toy.  I was all for it. That afternoon walk was eleven miles by the time we returned home. After dinner, the walking bug struck again and we took a 4 mile walk around town. When the day was over, I had walked/hiked 25 miles.

Roger Bannister shocked the world in 1954 by becoming the first human to break the four minute mile (3:59.4)

I have been photographing my daughter in this tree since she was a three years old.

It was very lame of me to fall to reach 50,000 step milestone yesterday.... Really, I came up  364 steps short?  All I would have had to have done was walk for another few minutes!
