Rural cross-training day... I'll spare details. Was quite tired by end.

I start in on the 2018 firewood for real here in the very near future. 3-4 cords. There's a workout with some juice to it! Right now it's still too wet to get my truck in there but I can drop the trees and buck them up.

picked a flatish loop for a little speedier 5.5 miles

Continued the rebuild of the interior of my woodshed... pretty damn whipped... stop here if you don't want a long boring read.....


















So, had to move about a cord of wood to get to this next quarter of the shed (3/4 are done now).... totally all-body whipped. I'd been using pallets for the last 20+ years both to get the wood up off the ground, and for vertical supports between the quarters... over the decades I'd replace this rotted pallet, that one, fix this broken whatever.... but always with a bunch of wood still in there so it was kind of piecemeal catch-as-can type of repairs... it had evolved into something pretty damn hillbilly.... so anyways now that's all gone. Now there's treated wood 4x4 "skids" with 2x3 (just ripped 2x6's in half) nailed across them. Like a heavy duty futon frame sorta. Then 2 new posts set on big pier blocks in the interior so I could put up stem-walls (again kinda like HD futon frames) to act as supports so I have 4 discrete quarters, that each hold a cord.... I burn a number of different woods and I like to keep things organized by category when possible. Hot and fast, night burners, the crappy stuff for fall and spring when it's not too cold.... the cream of the crop for those really cold nights where a perfectly sized 10-lb chunk of White Oak on a nice bed of coals, all damped down, and you wake up to a warm house...

Anyway that was my workout. Hoping to ride tomorrow.

First time in just over a year with "Cindy", I think she missed me more that I missed her.

5 pullups
10 pushups
15 bodyweight squats

As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes. I made it just over 22 this time.

That looks a whole lot like hard work.

Another morning another walk with the dogs. Added 5 more lbs to the pack. Off tomorrow. Going to hit it good and hard with a walk in the morning, 1.5 mile warm up jog, weights and finish with some hill joggy sprinty sorta' things.

Nice, I like recurves, my Fred Bear super kodiak is still one of my favorite pieces of gear, I took an elk with it about 5 years ago but havnt used it much since,

More of the same training for me, Got some NEw Balance Leadville shoes, been running a bit more, did 8 miles the other day.

other than that, still on the jumprope/bodyweight workout thing and lots of kettlebell.

This weekend Ill load my pack up with ~60lbs and try to hike at least 10 miles.

Wheww! Hands are still shaking from my workout. Shaved a bit of time off my 1.5 mile warm up jog. Went into dead lifts and overhead presses. A couple of warm up sets and then heavy 3 sets of 3 reps in each. They all felt good. After my last set I dropped off some weight and closed out with 5 sets of 10 in OHP and 5 sets of 5 in dead lifts. A bit chilly outside so instead of hill runs I hit the treadmill again and jogged another 1.5. I'm feeling worked, but like I've still got a bit more fuel to burn. Good thing too because I promised a buddy I'd help him move some stuff in about an hour.

Hope Y'all have a good weekend and get some good training in.

24-mile ride

wife declared date night soooooo just a quick bodyweight round robin 4 sets of 40 situps, 40 pushups and 10 pullups

nice crisp morning, abut 38 degrees start- mid 40's when I was done; about 11.5 miles w/ almost 3000' of gain- the first 7-ish miles of today's run follows the 20 mile race I'm doing in a couple of weeks (it's about as brutal as a 20 miler can get)

SW is working me more right now. However, I hit all major lifts.
Bench 8 sets of 305lbsX 4 Reps
Deadlifts 6 Sets of 375lbs X 6 reps
Squats 7 Sets X 365lbs X 5 Reps

Inclines 95lbs X 5 sets X 10 reps
Lat Pulldown X 5 sets X 10 reps X 260lbs
Incline control alternate curls X 65lbs X 10 repsX 5 sets
tricep pulldowns X 5 sets X 10 Reps X (200lbs?)

30 minutes of stair stepper.

No Interval work or kettlebells. but it took a long time to do majors.

Cleans sets of 6 at 185, 205 and set of 4 at 225
Squats 2 sets of 10 at 275

Last night: warm up jog on the treadmill. A little farther and a little faster than I did before. Squats, weighted dips and pull up's. A little heavier and less rest between sets than the last time. Finished out by stair walking with a Power thrust then a pull up in between each climb for as many as I could, and as fast as I could, in twenty minutes.

Raining this morning so didn't go to far on the early morning poop patrol with the dogs. Tonight I'll jog for distance on the treadmill.

Whatever this is.

^ nice

weight training this evening- a little progress on both the bench and overhead press

squats 3x5, bench 3x5, overhead press 3x5, dips 3x30, pullups 3x12, core

Also dropped & bucked up 3 more medium sized firs like the one in the truck there... it's a unique workout in that the footing in my woods is so uneven that the whole lower-legs area and hips get a good workout... and then there's serious juice to dropping big trees (amongst other trees especially) so your body tends to just git 'er done, and do what's necessary to not get squished or cut by the saw or whatever....I get beat by the end, and then I pay the price later.

Hey, this is why what you guys are doing is so much better: its more controlled, and specifally designed to NOT [bleep] up your back! My back is killing me tonight.

But goldang it, I got a workout today, and I'm claiming it!

I was a sawyer for five years in NW Montana back in the late 70's- falling/limbing/bucking trees and going up and down mountain sides every day (carrying a chain saw, gas/oil and 10-15 #'s of stuff on a belt/harness) made elk hunting on the weekends in the fall easy
