Wow $62.00 on Amazon, I will have to buy a pair for my growler too or she will steal mine. Still cheaper than a broken hip. Can you trade back and forth w/ your running shoes? I wear a 10 w/ my Salomon Quest GTX boots I am guessing a large size.

You should be fine with your Salomons and trail runners.
Pac boots or something really thick like a Hoka probably would require up sizing.

I wear 11’s in my trail runners and Large works just fine

4 miles on the trails with Tiny Elvis this evening

Been riding the bike on the trainer indoors. Swimming once a week (took a few weeks off to let a grinder injury heal but back at it now).

Need to add some snow shoeing in.

4.5 miles on the trails with Tiny E, pretty steep climb to boot

Good job guys

Have been doing intensive hand/arm workouts the last week. Love this customer; but wow. Got a weather window tomorrow; hope to ride.

9 miles on the Helena Ridge trail last with my wife and Tiny E, so cloudy the full moon couldn’t even make an appearance- still a very nice hike

See lots of critters in the dark like that?

Didn't get a ride, did go for a several mile hike looking for chanterelles (no luck), weird) with lots of up/down.

Looks like you dropped your Milk Duds.....

yup- probably a half dozen groups of mule deer- took pics, none turned out; jumped a small bunch of elk- heard and smelled them, but didn’t see them

smokepole- someone had already dropped them

4.5 miles to the top of Mt Helena Sunday, strength training Monday after work and 3 miles on the trails with my wife and Tiny E this evening. Fresh 6” of snow, Tiny looked like a pine marten running through it

Set the elliptical for 45 minutes. I was going to do wall ball shots every 90 seconds but my workout partner said "let's go every minute" so there were 45 intervals with 10 wall ball shots per. He texted me after and said "Who would have thought that wall ball could kick my butt...I could barely make it up the steps to my office".

I'm pretty certain there'll be some hanging knees to elbows tomorrow and maybe some lat pulls but no squats or deads to whoop my little legs any worse.

got off work early and grabbed Tiny Elvis-we got 7.5 tough miles in, fought a lot of wind drifted snow on top of the ridge; beautiful day though mid 30’s and sunshine

That's really pretty!

Took the new old boat crabbing today on the coast. Got 17 keepers! Gorgeous day, almost 60 degrees and sunny on the water. Buddy spent much time on saltwater as a yute; he's loving it too, the crabby bastid. Workout buddy- have suffered much in his company, haha. But not today.

You shouldn't eat those things, they cause gout. You can ship them in a cardboard box, PM sent!

^ agreed! pm sent to help you get rid of those unhealthy things

I will say, having had two attacks of it......... gout is misery compounded with agony. You do not want to go there. I think my attacks were from too much beer, and general dehydration. When I first started riding, it was giving me such astounding results in mitigating my head injury symptoms, that I got totally obsessed and was riding 50 miles (and not easy ones) every other day, just like clockwork. Then not drinking enough water at night, and too much beer. Did that for months on end then POW.... gout.

Anyway that's my story; and I ain't giving up shellfish unless I absolutely have to.

I've been hitting the gym, just not posting. Just like Harry, I heard he squatted 300 the other day. Unfortunately, the 300 refers to the weight of the woman he was with........

^:D

hit the gym last night 3x5 squats and dead lifts, chins, dips, Core

ran with the local ultra running group this morning- always a humbling experience . about ten folks showed up (despite the 13 degree temp)- for the most part very seasoned runners, most with multiple 100 mile finishes- Hard Rock, Western States, UTMB, etc

13 miles with about 2800’ of gain and 4-6” of snow makes for a challengeing run!

Warden, you need to find a different group to hang with.......
