I climbed my hill last night 3 mi. 75 push ups instead of 50 at the top. I am loading up some weight 65-70lbs and going for a "walk" Saturday... Looking forward to it.

Ended up with 13.5 miles last night and 2 mile interval run this morning which was slow. Legs were mush. Also 40 pushups before run.

Workout: Bench Press 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 245#-265#(f)-255#(f)-245#-245#-245#-255#
I was a bit dissappointed as I was hoping for a bit more. That said, I very rarely due bench press anymore.

Did the three miles as planned. Instead of using the Paradox, I loaded up another pack that I'd used last summer and fall with around 45#. The Paradox compares favorably as far as carrying in comfort, I really like the pack.

Been away for a bit Turkey hunting and learning some stuff that to me anyway is important. No luck so far with the Turkeys, so to the important. Probably nothing most don't know, but lifting and carrying heavy stuff has the potential to make us stronger. I know I'm a genius. Appreciate the thought. Ok, here is the important tidbit. Flexibility. Whatever it takes work at it just as hard. Probably no big deal for the young and middle age group, but the over 50 crowd had better start thinking about it. Squats, a loooot of rowing, running, hiking-with and without a pack-accomplished something other than keeping me going past when many friends have quit. It also gave me some really tight quads. Tight quads gave me back pain, probably contributed to me tearing a glut and made my knees hurt. After a week of some serious quad stretching done 5 or 6 times per day. Back pain pretty much gone, knees still hurt a little but much better, hip pain getting better by the day. As they say: FWIW, but I'm going to start paying a lot more attention to flexibility. What the hell these massive 14inch guns are big enough.

In the past I've heard about that book, but forgot about it. Thanks for the heads up.

Don't forget to stretch your hamstrings and heel cords. Tight hamstrings can cause knee pain (Patella tendon) and lower back pain.

Phil,
You are correct. The hamstrings are what have been giving me problems and not so much the quads.

Man there is a lot of stuff there to "relearn" It all seems to make sense. You gotta feel better if you have been following for a while. I am going to find his book. Thanks
Bought the 'Supple as a Leopard" book I can't wait to get into it. Thanks
