Ok I'll get serious, but I just paid all the monthly bills and not sure if I have much more serious left for now, but I'll try.

Will finish off the night with 30 minutes of moderate rowing.

I was just messin' around. No grief intended. The banter between you and Smokepole is good stuff though I sometimes wonder...

Anyway:
2 mile run this morning. Actually have my first run interval up to .85 miles before my first walk. Won't be too long until I can do a continuous mile then build from there.
Good swim workout tonight too.
Taking the next two day off from workouts or maybe just something light. Gonna try to do a sprint tri on Saturday knowing the run will be slow but just finishing will do for now.

Smoke is good people with an excellent wit.

And yes perhaps we go on too long sometimes, but there certainly are no hard feelings on this end and I doubt if there are any on his.

Jaggin is a Burg tradition-as you may know-and Smoke could hang with the best.

Good luck with your event!!!!

Jaggin?? I'm dead serious here.

Took the day off today. Except the part where I helped my son move some furniture. I'm glad I don't do that for a living, I'm too old for that stuff. He did buy dinner though, I'll never be too old for that.,

I wasn't really serious about y'all needing to be serious.

I'm dead serious. Did lower body/core today. For some reason there was a plethora of good-lookin' women at the gym, but they weren't ogling me.

And I even did as Battue suggested and put a potato in my pants?

Remember to put it in the front next time.

You didn't even say thank you for the set-up.

Set-up? Heck I don't know how many I've told to do that, but you definitely are the first to actually do it. Sweeeeet!!!! WICHBT�.

Annnewaaay, arms at work and off with a grin to do some evening cardio. Hooooot!!!!

Now, I'm feeing soooo guilty.















Ahh, OK I'm over it. Life goes on�.

Had a slight setback last evening. I was hiking with the dog and pack on my back, and pulled a muscle in my calf. I felt something pop, with a sharp pain. Iced it, elevated it, and took ibuprofen.

I'm going to see a trainer today.

Still hurting today when you go up on your toes or while walking?




Stepper for 30 minutes, then a little bit of everything circuit with weights along with rollers on legs.

Yup. Not really bad pain but I wouldn't want to be carrying a pack or anything strenuous.

Well that's good for now. Don't have to tell you, but go slow and have someone look at it that knows their stuff if it lingers.

Wishing you the best, you have worked hard to get to this point.

And if the Motrin seems to be helping and the stomach tolerates it, give it at least three or four days of every 4 to 6 hour dosing. Probably best to avoid alcohol while on Motrin.

You tube "the stick" for messaging the leg muscles. Better than a roller in my opinion and fairly easy to stuff one in a pack if one will be doing an overnight.

What shoes are you wearing? I got into low-heeled stuff several years ago and my lower legs have never been stronger. I won't buy anything that has more than 4mm drop from the heel to the ball of the foot. I can do a five-mile run in such shoes today, that would cripple most heel-strikers if you took their foam running shoes away from them

A new pair of Lowa Renegades, with a custom-molded foot bed for arch support. The renegades have a fairly low heel, I don't like anything with much heel to it, like Kenetreks. They already feel broken in too, I don't think the shoes were the problem.

I think the problem was, my calves were fatigued. I did a pretty hard lower body workout with a lot of lower leg stuff yesterday including some things I don't normally do to work the calves. I almost left the pack at home, my legs were feeling toasty.

Then I heard a little voice in my head say "don't be a pu**y, hunting season is just around the corner."

I should've ignored it.

What, are you a pharmacist or something?
