The difference between a hobby and a passion. "I don't love to (insert favorite past time), I have to (insert favorite past time)." I love running, and sometimes it crosses the border into the realm of a vital necessity. Now, I am not that fast and I do not run that far, but, I like to think of myself, as Yogi Bear would say, as "faster than the average bear..." Which led me to the following research on the Google...
Here's the scary news to put things in perspective...
It was calculated that Usain Bolt ran his record setting 100m and 200m at around a 23 mph average. The top speed for a grizzly bear is 34.8 mph. Lean black bears can exceed 30 mph. Can run uphill, downhill, or on level ground. Fat bears in winter coats overheat and tire quickly. There has been approximately 8 deaths by bears in the U.S. in the past 2 years. Here's how you avoid becoming a statistic.
1.) Hang out with fat bears
2.) Hang out with fat friends
3.) Don't text and hang out with bears.
4.) Become roughly 1.5 times faster than Usain Bolt
or
5.) Take up seal clubbing (land speed of a seal < land speed of bear)
"Save a life, don't text and bear."
