185 Reps. Burpees still suck. Seems like this week is interval week for me...

Oh, I've been there all right. Complained to the doc, and then he assured me he enjoyed it less than I did. It was only then that I knew it was safe to book another appointment.

That's what they all say. It's called bedside manners.

Kettle Bells: Did 6 sets back to back with minute rest between sets.

Single arm press: 15 reps per arm--30lbs
Single arm row: 12 reps per arm--50lbs
Kettle bell swing: 30 reps--50lbs
Goblet squat: 10 reps--50lbs

Planks: 2minutes then Farmers walk with 2x45lbs for one minute, then repeat.

14 miles on Spinner.

Once again I will yield to your vast experience in these matters. Do they at least maintain the pretense and tell you it's only their finger, and send flowers after?

Did lower body and core this evening.

There are some areas that even with my advanced years I have no experience with.

However, the ability to read sign-I especially pay attention to sign -may have been a major contributing factor in my being able to avoid unpleasant circumstances.

Sooooo, the only advice I can give you is one hunting men have passed back and forth for centuries. "Watch your top knot"�.

post time.


19:09. I could have went quite a bit heavier on the strength deadlifts, but I knew I had many more to do and am taking tomorrow off. I didn't want to be too sore to chase turkeys for 3 days!

Post a niceTurkey pic. Good luck!!!!

Did upper body today. Going to take the hound for a 3-mile walk with a moderate load in the new pack this evening.

Weights: Legs and arms
Concept2: 30 minutes.

Pack felt better than last time, that's progress.

Hard to beat a pack for an all around workout. Legs, lungs, the stabilizing muscles get a chance to do their thing, balance and core. Keep it up.

That's the plan. Any time you want to come out here and tramp up & down some hills, let me know. Maybe some trout up there.

You ain't gettin' any younger.......

Ahhhh!!!! Thanks, perhaps.

Fishing? I know next to nothing about the art-all right, nothing is closer-but that doesn't mean I don't like to fish. Just never had much opportunity. Years ago did a horse back fly fishing trip into the Bob Marshall and fished for a week. N or S Fork of the Flathead. Can't remember which. A Monkey could have done well there. Came home to Pa all fired up: Didn't catch a Trout in about 8 tries. Haaa!!!!

Did a trip out to Crested Butte with a gal back in the late 80's when I still could get a good head of steam up jogging. Sooo, one day I took off for a little R&R jog. The altitude sucked the oxygen right out of me. Went from around 7min here at home to over 11 there. However, was quicker than ever back at home�.for about a week then back to normal.

Thanks, I really do appreciate the offer. Perhaps when I finally decide to quit the work thing completely. Next year???? It's a mental thing with me.

�.That and some of the older nurses still have that nurse thing going on.

Ah, so that's why you went into medicine.

It is a plus, but the truth is it was a stroke of blessing and luck.

Anyway, thinking about the Bob Marshall trip slammed something home with regards exercising and living. There were 5 of us. Two are dead from cancer, one has had an infection that pretty much as of now has taken out his legs for the last couple years, one was a big time college football player and his body took a beating that has taken it toll with arthritis. Again, I'm the blessed and lucky one, but I think sensible continuous exercise has played a big part.


A fellow was pulling on the iron machines the other day at the Y. Obviously older and I complimented him at keeping at it. Turns out he is 86. I would have guessed early 70s. I said you are doing great and grabbed his shoulder as I left. He was damn solid.

Had a PM from a fellow Fire member the other day and he threw a couple Shakespeare lines at me and they were good ones. I replied with the one that always stuck with me; "We know what we are, but not what we may be."

Now is the time, get at it.

Fishing in the mountain lakes and streams can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be. Sometimes if all I want is fish for dinner, I'll just bring an ultralight spinning rig, a few hooks, split shot, and worms, they are deadly in small streams.



Did cardio today, legs felt good even after carrying the pack yesterday evening. IMHO, that is one of the biggest benefits of working out regularly--I still get fatigued from carrying loads uphill, but it's a whole lot easier to bounce back the next day without sore muscles.

Pretty soon it'll be time for some tune-up weekend excursions, after ice-out.

Just flat out cool!!!!

Was going to take Toby and the pack for a hike today, but it drizzled all day and since I just cleaned the car and truck insides didn't feel like muddying either up.

Did some of those everyday activities and cleaned a couple rooms. Haircut at 6 and will hit the gym tonight. Have a shotgun weekend coming up. Hope the rain takes a break.

Enjoy those days of not being sore.

Got a kinda pack hike in. The gym has a 30 pound weighted vest, so spent an hour on the treadmill. Boring, but got it in.

The 15 degree incline will get the heart rate up.

I tried Pointer's 36# KB workout awhile ago.
21 turkish getups R-hand
50 swings
21 getups L-hand
50 swings
21 getups R
50 swings
21 getups L

I only got through one round of getups, I didn't have the shoulder strength to stabilize the KB. It crushed my azz. I'll try it with a lighter (26#) KB next time
