A 295# C&J is no joke! WOW.
If the numbers in your 'name' are your zip code, we're nearly neighbors... They are; i've seen some of your posts, do you go to a local Gym? I visit 3Kings Crossfit and Crossfit Zionsville. I do. Crossfit Dog Fight at 82nd and I69. I live just east of 37 in Noblesville at 191st. street. 46032 here (just moved from 46236) Wifey got me hooked on Orangetheory workouts, doing 3/week and dropped 15 lbs in 3 months. Scenery is nice there too!

I hiked a couple steel plates into my new long range spot... Actually, first I hiked in and retrieved one from my old spot... anyway "several" miles of up and down hiking with a heavy pack (sometimes) did occur.

Spent the weekend up doing some scouting for bear, did my last workout before the elk hunt today, cardio. I'll be humping in gear on Thursday, up to around 10,500. And hopefully packing out meat shortly thereafter.

You don't want me - I live about 4' above sea level. Get me above 8000' and I assume Pat McManus' glacial pace.

Hell, at age 51 I still believe I can go almost anywhere..... just not necessarily quickly.
Slow and steady gets 'er done.

Yep, the thing is though, deterioration of physical fitness is not linear with age, it starts to noticeably accelerate some time after 50. Gradually at first, and it takes more effort to maintain. Unless you're an ageless wonder like Battue.
Moral: Smoke 'em while you can.

I'm certainly hitting the half-century wall. Just staying fit takes a LOT of work, much less trying to make big gains.
My riding buddy and I sometimes talk about if we could relive our 20's... we agree that enjoying the athleticism and capability of that young body, to an even greater extent than we did, would be the priority.
Screw college... I'd be a ski bum in the winter, and tromp all over creation the rest of the time. Which isn't SO far from what I actually did, but, i'd do more of it.
We also agree that we'd be irredeemable horndogs.... again, even more so than we were.
Good luck on your hunt! I've got 3 weeks to get my foot right before mine. Yikes.

Moral: Smoke 'em while you can. Ha!!!! Well, come in from the gym and hear my name ringing out. Smoke nailed it, well only part unfortunately. Around 55 the accelerator started to kick in and the change was more than noticable. Especially these last couple years. I.E.70-72. Not only physically, but the blood test numbers are slipping. BP is still good at 105/115 over 70/75 on average. Glucose numbers good. Then you get into creatinine clearance or kidney function and you can see the decline from really good to nothing to brag about. Cholesterol numbers have always been borderline high, but with excellent HDL numbers, I don't fret it all that much and the Doc agrees. Tried statins and they killed my quads and calfs. Doc is a friend and he said it was in my head. Then he eventually went on them. Guess what? I told him it surely must be in his head. In fact, for the last couple weeks I have been cutting down on the protein re: kidneys because of it, along with drinking more water. Will be interesting to see if it has any benefits. As mentioned previously, the injuries don't heal up as quick or never return completely. Knees are not what I would like along with some hip weakness. Not all that thrilled about the changes, but then I look at some old Buds who let themselves slide and it is worth the effort. Some of our posters really hit it extremely hard and it's a thin plank from excellent functional strength to abuse.I hope they don't live to regret it. Have fun guys, stick with it, but remember for the most part you only get one of each. 10,500 would kick my azz. In some of my better days, I was running a 7:15 to 30 easy jog. Went out to Crested Butte for a vaca and did a little running. 11:15 to 30. Burned it when I got back home, but eventually, the red blood cells came home also. Addition: Good luck and stay safe. Addition 2: One of my best buds is a 47 YO gal and she is starting to refer to herself as old. She soon will be if she keeps thinking it.

Daughter took a ground level pic of my Cardio pump from yesterday with her and Grandkids. 90 feet up and doing about 50. When it was over, asked the lady next to me if she had fun. She replied-and laughed at the same time-I was until you hit me in the nose. I think I interrupted her prayers.
