Mainly because Take_a_knee told me I'd never do another pull-up, and I was a geezer, etc. That guy is a brilliant motivator Don't I know it. Congrats on the milestone. This week was a light/recovery week with more stretching and less running & weights.

Yesterday:
3 mile easy trail pack hike with 48 lbs. Later in the evening tried to keep up with Granddaughter, which may have been the harder of the two.
Day off today.

Any doing supplements? Thoughts?
Don't know if they help any, but Whey Protein and L-Glutamine pretty much daily here.

I was using the same, 40 grams whey protein with L-Glutamine, post workout. Mixed with OJ to provide some sugar to help recovery.
With the arthritic ankle though, I've been reading up on the anti-inflammatory diet, and foods that cause inflammation. Casein apparently causes inflammation and is a component of whey protein, so starting a week ago I've laid off for a while, and just eat some protein post workout like a can of sardines or a few boiled eggs.
Not sure if it's helping yet.
PS, it's sunny here so I'll be taking a hike with the pack, first day it hasn't rained in a while.

Chevy, Ford, Yugo, whatever. Anybody who can lug a pack around owes it to himself to come on out and do some elk huntin'.....

Would be great and appreciate the offer.
Then there is working some, shooting tournaments, a planned Grouse hunting trip, perhaps another to NM for Deer and Antelope, looking for a new Pup, Grandkids.
However, time is catching up to me fast, and faster with each day. If we could ever put it together, I would be happy to just tag along and watch. Along with hopefully helping to bring yours back down.

Did a short training hike today, carried 50# up some steep grassy slopes, about 1K vertical. Did some good side-hilling too, to get the ankles in shape. View from the top: The best part of the hike was, the whole time I was up there these were in the smoker: And this (elk shanks with finger potatoes and portabellos) was in the crock pot:
