Smoky, Calvin: props.

25 minute spin on the trainer. Boring.

well the plan was for a long run today, but we didn't make it out the single digits until close to noon; soooo.. got 6.5 miles in this afternoon (warmed to near 20)

plan on a long run tomorrow, we'll see if the weather cooperates

It's been a tough winter for outside exercise here... however... there's a really nice patch of weather arriving Tuesday and it'll be GAME ON!

I'm gonna be suffering on my tough hill climbs but that's ok. My riding buddy has some sort of auto-immune bursal sac attack thing going on in his body so it's my job to rally his sorry ass out of the "I can't do it" funk he's in and get him out there suffering with me <g>.

Looks like we are joining the local gym so I'll be lifting soon. Will be pretty pathetic at first I suspect, but, I saw how much it helped my elk huntin buddy Jerry in his 60's when he was lifting.

Yesterday: 6 hour Grouse hunt. Dogs did good, we didn't.

I hate the guy sneaking around with the reaper.

Jeez Harry, you're hunting with him now?

It's worse than I thought.

We walked a few miles yesterday, Toby put up 8 pheasants in 90 minutes, it was a good day.

Yea, he isn't much for conversation.

Pretty grim, eh? You didn't pass any graveyards, by chance?

was hoping to get 16 miles in today, just warmed too slowly- I did manage to get 12 miles in, which I'll take; maybe next weekend



pretty nice view of town

(2) 30-minute spins on the trainer.

While watching football. And eating pizza.

Warmup:

Treadmill: 10min
Bike: 20min

3x5:

Incline BP, Back Squats, Deadlift

Chinups, Calf raise, Dips, Weighted Sit-ups

Additional: Curls, Bands, Leg lifts,


Elliptical: 20min

went to the gym and found out my shoulder still has a ways to go

put 135 on the bench to warm up and could feel it my shoulder- more so racking and unracking vs pressing; deadlifts were a no go, didn't even try overhead presses

I could use the Hammer Strength chest machine, I could do pullups w/ grips facing and chinups- regular pullups were a no go

I could do all of my core stuff and surprisingly I could do dips

I'm just going to have to pick and choose for awhile

5.4 miles in the snow, even though it's mostly packed- you definitely get more of a workout in the snow, also really good at strengthening ankles (and also possibly breaking one :D)

Cardio:

Elliptical: 30min
Treadmill: 30min

24 mile ride. Weather window continues thru Sunday so I'm hoping for at least 2 more.

Elliptical: 20min

3x5

Incline BP, Deadlift, Back squats, Straight leg deadlifts, Calf raises.

Bands and stretches.


Bike: 25min

I feel your pain. Just the other day I had to shorten a planned 20-mile run to a 3-mile walk. But I was willing to make that sacrifice.

got a very chilly 5.5 miles in this evening, we're supposed to warm up this weekend

Slacker. I did the whole 9 yards.

I would too if I had the guy with the hoody and scythe following me around everywhere...

No response from Harry? I sure hope the guy in the hoodie didn't finally catch up with him......

Did cardio last night, 845 cals in 60 minutes, stairs, then bike

Did lower body/core today. Box jumps, goblet squats, hamstring curls, glute kick-backs, calf raises, 3 kinds of leg lifts, BOSU ball balance stuff, and back squat machine.
