Jogged on the treadmill yesterday. Still don't like it, but I'm getting better at it. Great lift today. Squats, Dips, Dead lifts and overhead press. Strong lifts in a timely manor. Nothing outrageously heavy, but good solid form lifts leaving just enough gas in the tank to finish without any cheating or jerking.

No word from the gunshop on my new rifle. New rifle? Now you're talking. What'd you get, I must have missed it? Ruger Hawkeye M77 FTW in 7 mm Rem Mag. Haven't had it to the range yet. Lapped the rings and hopefully my next weekend off I'll get to mount a scope on it and put some rounds down range.

Absolutely gorgeous morning here. I worked last night, but with THE WIFE out of town, my dogs felt I had slept long enough and that we should be walking on such a fine day. We headed out and put in a brisk two hour walk hitting every hill we could. The light North breeze and sunny 50* temp made for a perfect MN shorts and T-shirt kinda' walk.
Looks like all the regulars on this thread are really kicking butt and making great gains. Only 5-6 more months to go before it'll be time to put all this sweat equity earned in off-season to the test. Come on October!

I didn't hit the gym yesterday but mowed the grass (push mower, of course) helped my son move, shot the bow, and tried to keep up with the dog for three miles. We were hearing roosters everywhere, and had the first "escort you out of our territory" run-in with a few coyotes, meaning it's time for the pups to make their appearance soon.

Just an easy run today: 10km, 45 mins.
Very casual pace on the rolling trails, no major climbs or anything. Just focused on relaxing and breathing. Legs felt great.
Been reading a lot about the Alaskan wilderness classic. That would be pretty epic and something that could stage me out of retirement. it definitely sounds like a dandy; something that would get in your blood I'm sure it's on my bucket list Yeah I like the idea of finding your own way, unsupported and using whatever fear you choose.

congrats on the new bow got a really nice 5-ish mile recovery run on the trails; my legs were definitely fatigued and sore from yesterday's outing, but have learned that an easy run often helps with the soreness- legs feel better

Got a new bow. Its a dandy. What did you get??? I'm in the market for a new now myself and planning to really splurge on this one and buy a nice bow, Hoyt, Matthews, pse.

Today's workout: Kettlebell: 32kg -10x15 one hand swings -10 Turkish get ups -6 minute squat test -pull-ups -push-ups -dips 10 sets of 6 in circuits Jumprope ~ 12 minutes, part of a 30 day challenge, used a 1 lb rope.

Freight at SW.
8 Green Mountain JB Wifi pellet bbq stoves (189lbs) stacked them up so lots of leverage lifting.
probably about 30 tons (15 pallets of stuff) moved. Firman generators, honda 3000s, traegers pellet stoves, bradley digital smokers, and other stuff.
The bow is a recurve, a Jack Howard Supergamemaster Jet The last edition circa. 1992. 52lbs. I am bought it from the original owner and its in perfect condition. It meets my standards in a recurve and I am one picky dude.I have enough compound bows and enough recurves but sometimes something comes my direction.

Nice bow. I've heard good things about those but have never shot one.
Missed all my lifts yesterday. Thinking limited/poor sleep over the past 2+ months finally caught up to me. I think I'll take this week to recuperate then jump into more cardio stuff next week. Lifting will only be 2x a week and start mixing in r/b/s stuff.

I had PT for my hip yesterday, massage, stretches, and strengthening exercises. Then went and did lower body/core. The hip felt good.

Took the dogs for our morning patrol. Loaded a pack up with 25 lbs plate for the stroll. They're beat, and flopped out in their favorite cool spots panting and sleeping. My shirts well sweated, so all and all I feel it was a fine morning for us all.
Tonight I'll do a warm up mile on the treadmill then hit the weights. Heavy squats, weighted dips and pull-ups. Finish with volume dead-lifts. Close the work out by walking the stairs for as many rounds as I can in 20 minutes.
Diet and exercise has been going well. Pants are loose and my belt is needing a new hole punched in it. However; my Wife told me that we are expected at a couple of social functions this weekend. Read that as huge amounts of empty calories hospitably placed before me. For me to not accept these offers would be seen as rude or ungrateful to the hosts. Going to be a battle of social grace and willpower for me.
