Running log - daily reminder

Recall is everything in reading !

The Federal Govt got involved in hiring Women, yes REAL women in the 80's, because only ONE woman, she's long retired, was able to pass the then 50 + years physical requirements.

The Run was changed to 40 minutes for 5 miles, you no longer had to be in step, you could use sneakers and a water bottle !

Other changes were headgear and bigger gloves for boxing and physical size was emphasized for opponents.
Matches were filmed to prove someone quit or stopped boxing.

No longer pull up minimums, lady's push ups were allowed. You could drop out of conditioning runs pre final test.

The firearms requirements were changed, ie use of .12 gauge shotguns, .223 AR firing.

It’ll be 6 min/mile in another few weeks.

I accept that you are a decent jogger.

Why can't you realize that I was just a superior multi-sport athlete ?

Lettered 12 times in high school and 6 times as a 2 year PG. Captain 11 times in the 3 sports. (Foots, Hoops, Bases.)
Manlius was the # 1 non college football school in the USA, we didn't just play college freshman teams, we beat them in ALL 3 sports !

The events I give to the thread ALL happened back in the day or even yesterday.

Like the Pitt Football Head Coach, driving up to Manlius in the typical "Lake effect" snow storm (18 inches or more.).
Football team meets with him. "Raise your hands IF you played on the first 2 squads ! Anyone with your hand up gets a full NCAA scholarship to Pitt ! Step forward, I have the forms here !"

One guy stepped forward. He wound up as a # 1 NFL Draft Choice for Redskins after his Pitt career !

Asked by the Head Coaches in Hoops, Bases, Lacrosse and Wrestling at Syracuse to join their teams after they saw me at the various sports fooling around.

Drafted first 100 players, NFL Draft.

The NJSP is STILL a superior Law Enforcement Organization that REQUIRES certain performances, even today, like boxing (If you retreat in the ring, you are GAWN !)

The "run" was a requirement and still is, although the time has been moved from 5 miles at a 7 minute (35 minutes total) pace, to an 8 minute pace (40 minute total) , that physically fit Women can complete !

“Decent jogger” Types backhanded compliment, then asks for affirmation. Blowhard.

We’re listing out our high school varsity letters now? LOL. I had 11, so you got me there. How many do you think TJ had? Do they give varsity letters for running your mouth on the sideline?

NJSP doesn’t even require the 5 mile run anymore. I’d believe you if you hadn’t just told us 40 minutes a few weeks ago.

 

[BigWill]

You wanted facts, I gave them.

I don't ask for affirmation from joggers.

The Spring Lake 5, is held on Memorial Day used to get 3-5,000 joggers. I was late because of no parking, and as I arrived in Spring Lake saw the Fire Truck way in front of me ! The Fire Truck was behind the last runner ! I had to sprint about 1/4 mile to catch up with the older folk that were the walkers. Friends of mine watching were howling with laughs and tossing cups of water on me !

I didn’t ask for anything. I don’t care about your made up stories. This is an off-topic thread for semi-elite hiking athletes to document their training.

This you begging for affirmation?

I have checked with NJSP and EVERYTHING, I have posted is correct.

To be considered to attempt to become a Trooper, you must.
1. Meet the age, education minimums and work minimums and the PT minimums of push ups, sit ups and a 1 1/2 mile timed run.
2. Background Investigation, Medical/Psych Review, Command Interview, etc.
3. Height and weight minimums were abolished. 5' 10", 150 pounds used to be the minimums.

During the Academy you have daily RUNS that start at 1 1/2 mile run and increase 10 % per week.

Culminating in the mandatory 5 mile run in 40 minutes.
Which as I said was lowered from 5 miles in 35 minutes after the Federal Consent Order in the 80"s, to help women compete.

Boxing is taught ( they have some PC term these days.) and filmed to protect from law suits, (One person died in the ring many years ago !) and to prove cowardice in the ring for dismissal for cause !

When I became a NJSP the drop out rate was 2 dropped out for every 1 graduate, my Class 88 had 150 + on day # 1 and 54 on graduation day. (1 committed suicide with his pistol a week after graduation.)
Now the rate has been reversed, 1 drop out, for every 2 Graduates.

The higher ups claim it's because they get better candidates, Troopers BEFORE the Consent Decree say it's just easier !

I have the internet too. The 5 mile run is not a mandatory requirement.

I’m sure you did yours uphill both ways too.

 

[BigWill]

You really should understand how to work the Internet and be able to READ what is there.
Or you can call the NJSP at Sea Girt Academy !
Or you can just swallow that I know of what I post !

Sea Girt Academy is right on the ocean and the site is entirely flat, except the built up sand berms for the back drop from the firing range.
They have tall poles at the North and South ends of the firing range and they run up huge red flags when the range is in use.
That means that NO boat traffic is allowed just off shore !

Back in my day I ran 5 miles in 20 minutes uphill both ways at Sea Girt Academy!

Joggers should be more humble.

Sarcasm doesn't remove your ill-informed posting.

This runner is exceptionally humble. I’ve never once posted about my running accolades until the motor mouths on this board started denigrating me and my health.

We’ve heard plenty of big fish tales about you though haven’t we!

*Back to the running log:
Just been running every other day and doing rehab work on my hammy. Did a fast 2 miles yesterday to test it out. Felt great. TJ definitely missed his window.

Just doing a shake out run today. Team has a 5k tomorrow in a heat advisory. Was glad I was able to rehab quickly. They’d be disappointed if I didn’t run it with them.

Join the Adirondack 46'ers.

A club of 16,000 members that have climbed all 46 of the high peaks in the Adirondacks! They are above 4,000 feet !

Less than a thousand have done them in winter !

I am NOT a member, but you and TJ may have an interest ?

So you ask about fish ? I have some, of course. Remember you asked !

My friend had a 46 foot Jim Smith (look it up) and would go out from Manasquan Inlet to the Hudson Canyon (about 80 miles) to fish.
One day we caught 2 White Marlin in 30 minutes ! One 70 pounds one 90 ! (Which are decent size for the Whites !) Jack told me to mention the feat to any real fisherman !
Another was a Tiger shark over 700 pounds and I had its jaw/teeth mounted, cost $ 900.

He loved fishing so much that he bought 2 homes (one for the boat Captain) in Hatteras, a King Air Plane, a home in NJ for the plane Pilot, joined the Hatteras Marlin Club, all because the Gulfstream is 1/2 hour off Hatteras !

Watching internet tough guy TJ squirm is pretty satisfying. Just so there’s no confusion:

TJ has told me I am going to die from a vaccine related heart issue for about 4 years now. I told him I run regularly and have no worries. He proceeded to mock my running ability so I directly challenged him to race 5 miles and post GPS results any time. I put up $1k. He declined and has come up with a litany of excuses.

I’ll post here and make it as clear as possible.

I challenge the hiking hero, TJFleck to race 5 miles and will put up $5k that I absolutely smoke him. Any day. Any time. Post your GPS results.

If you don’t want to do it and want me to stop posting about it, just stop running your mouth about me. Pretty simple.

 

[Semi-elite R2R athlete]

Our resident professional elite athlete Big Will isn’t impressed by a R2R hike. Maybe TJ was out of line calling himself semi-elite? If he can hike the Grand Canyon at a slightly above average pace, then surely he can run 5 miles against a vaccine damaged heart. Let’s do it TJ!

Cold front moving in. We’re getting some hill work in today after being forced inside past few days due to heat advisory. Hill repeats are no Grand Canyon, but they’re still pretty tough.

 

[BigWill]

Like what a mule versus a donkey is I have no knowledge.

An " R2R hike ", I am equally clueless ?

Hiking downhill into the Grand Canyon would be fun, as long as a mule/donkey was there for escaping the gorge.

GSP is the NJSP abbreviation for the Garden State Parkway, the Principal North/South roadway in NJ.

A mule is half donkey.

R2R is rim to rim. A reverse mountain hike. Down into the canyon then back out. TJ completed it in a slightly above average pace and proclaimed himself an elite athlete.

We did 4 miles of hill repeats this morning and now I have to do another set for the afternoon practice. Not sure if I’d be able to hike at an elite level though.

 

[BigWill]

The only thing, we as a group, do at an Elite level these days is POST !
