Let's see 5/8-14 43 miles w/ 3 days bear hunting, no bears sighted despite a lot of leg and glass work- that's the way it goes sometimes

5/15- 5/21 34 miles (809 miles for the year). Still on track to hit my goal of 2023 miles, God willing I'm preparing for my 9th Bob Marshall Wilderness Open this coming weekend, route appears to be just over 100 miles. Our snowpack is depleting quickly so may be one of the rare years I'm not on snowshoes much. While we always deal with high water at the end of May, looks like even more than normal this year. With three major rivers to ford (one has a stock bridge, the other two- no bridges whatsoever) it's a crap shoot if we'll be able to finish. The two years I didn't finish were due to high water- fingers crossed!

I've continued lifting twice a week- same 5x5 @ 70% of 1RM routine, so far so good- hamstring hasn't squawked.
