Comment by Troy French on October 11, 2011 at 3:15pm: Did the Incline in 25:35 first time and been in the area for only 3 weeks from NH.

Comment by Jill Suarez on October 6, 2011 at 7:33pm: I have seen this chatty group of coal miners ... Nice group and a good social challenge ...Better than playing beer pong !

Comment by Jeff Gallup on October 6, 2011 at 7:18am: Great job David and group! that's an awesome time.. I finally managed to set a new best time for myself, but at 47:12 :-). And yes.. it was WINDY this AM.

Comment by David Mulligan on October 6, 2011 at 7:02am: Group Incline Oct 6, 2011 at 4:50am

LeAnne, Susie, Warren, Kyle, and Dave

26:17 from frist tie. Beautiful morning up the Incline and then got hit with a 50 mph wind at the top! Of course Susie was chatting the whole way which we were okay with because at least the rest of us had a chance of keeping up. Thanks gang!

Comment by Michael Capshaw on September 27, 2011 at 7:24pm: Dan that's awesome. Hopefully I'll see up there sometime.

Comment by Jill Suarez on September 27, 2011 at 4:58pm: It's a time worthy healthy addiction ... Asked my dr if it was a " problem" said he wished he had more patients with this type of problem ... Keep plugging away on those ties ... I'm not stopping anytime soon..

Comment by Jeff Gallup on September 27, 2011 at 4:43pm: Dan.. I probably ran into you this morning... I usually start at 5 or so..

Comment by Dan Kurschner on September 27, 2011 at 4:39pm: 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.

Comment by Michael Capshaw on September 27, 2011 at 4:30pm: 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.

Comment by Tim Bergsten on September 27, 2011 at 3:57pm: Michael, you are a sick, sick man..... kidding. But admitting you have a problem is half the battle. Keep on keeping on!
