20:00. I timed out. Not a fun workout...

Other than whatever aerobic stimuli I got by being at 7500-9000 feet for 2 weeks and doing SOME tromping around, my damn foot and the weather have shut down my cardio stuff for the time being. Read this and it about made me puke. Keep it up guys, this is important life work!

little late to the party :), but am an avid trail runner (it hurts too much to run on pavement!)

good week for me, with 46 miles (9/0/9/4/0/18/6)- this is about 10-ish more miles than I usually see

I usually strength train twice a week (this week only once)- pretty low key and basic- bench, squat, overhead presses, dips, pullups and core work

one of my "runs" (read mostly hiking on the way up) this week was to the top of Elkhorn Peak- I have a large bag of little flags just for these occasions

Ran into an old friend hunting. Damn good athlete in his younger years and few could keep up with him thru his middle years while he mainly did cardio. Then he pretty much quit entirely. Successful individual, lived the good life. Now while not grossly overweight, soft and pudgy. Waist is probably pushing 40 inches at around 5'11".

Blew out a knee years ago, which didn't help and a heart valve went south a couple years ago. Drank too much, which may have been a contributing factor. Has the time to at least do something on a regular basis, but apparently doesn't or it's too late.

Don't quit guys, there is nothing to be gained from it.

warden- Very well done! I'm fat and therefore don't like to run, but admire those that do it in country like that!

this is far from my favorite workout, but I try and get one in a week ( which I did last night)- hill repeats

Failures were due to form failing. Though 185 is a new 3 rep PR. I should have had 195. Failed on the 3rd rep when the bar got too far forward.

Skipped the gym this morning and took Hank for a jog and some leash/command work. Covered about 2mi in 27mins. He's faster at the sprint repeats than I. Need to see if I can jog while toting a heeling stick...

had a pretty good week- 28 miles trail running (with 4-ish of those hill repeats- sore for 3 days ). 11ish miles yesterday elk hunting with close to 3000' gain; sadly no elk, but a great day out

I can definitely feel it today

That's badass, mtwarden!


27 mile ride, my cardio route. Was pleasantly surprised to find I hadn't backslid too much.


Guys: what's a good, yet mild hamstring strengthening exercise I can do with tools I probably have laying around the house?

if you have a band you can do standing hamstring curls; if you have a SO they can hold your ankles as you lean forward on your knees and pull back with your hams
