23 mile ride

Warden, pointer, thanks. Pretty sure I have a muscle imbalance in my left leg, between the quads on the one side and the hamstrings on the other with the knee as the pivot point. My quads get hammered pretty hard cycling but the hamstring doesn't, etc....Funny feeling.

I'm a bit skeeved about hamstring exercises as I've had my share of cramps.

Haven't posted in a while. Working dumbbells at home daily but not seeing much of the gym. I may get a kettlebell.

I bought a kettlebell.Just did my kettlebell swings. Man what a workout that is!

I ate 1/3 of a carton of ice cream last night!

with that 22 mile run it shouldn't matter

I'm there too (slight imbalance). I'm adding deadlifts. Since I don't like them I rarely do them but need to. As a last resort I may go to leg curls, but deads are better for you.

Took Hank for an almost 2mi jog this morning so I could get my vote in and to work in a reasonable amount of time. He was less tired than I was.

Went for a short hike this morning then did some shooting in celebration of Hillary losing.

135-155-1751-185-195-205(f)-205(f). I got through 2 at 205, but felt a twinge where I shouldn't so dropped it. grrrr... Still a new pr.

Any PR is a good day! Congrats.

agreed- nice work

30-mile ride with a buddy. It wasn't a brutal route but had some good climbs (good = very stimulating aerobically).

I just got back from a 13-ish hour, 14-ish mile elk hunt- gain was close to 3000'- I'm thoroughly beaten down AND never saw a elk (the weather isn't helping- sunny and temps into the 50's)

still beats the [bleep] of out of work any day
