A bit warm for the two pot lickers this morning. Knew they'd drag ass and not want to walk very far from their cool spots. So, loaded up my pack with two sacks of water softener salt and took them for a walk. Still had to drag them up the hills. They simply don't do well when its over 65*. I did make them suck it up and go at least 3 miles with me. Their spent and I'm feeling charged by it.
Going to hit deadlifts and a couple accessory lifts this afternoon to earn my steak and asparagus tonight. Love me some deadlifts when the bar starts to bow under the weight. A real ego booster.

I was watching vids of Kilian Jornet and Anton Krupicka running up and down the Grand Teton during my workout this morning and remembered what you were doing today for real. Congrats for entering and double for finishing.

thank you Sir! I'm sore today, but not as bad as I have been in past races- going to try and get in a short-ish hike today, always seems like that helps w/ recovery

I need to get better about logging workouts, I always write stuff down on paper but I get lazy with the online stuff.
Anyways,
Ive been doing my normal Kettlebell, Jumprope and calisthenic stuff but Ive been running a lot more and really enjoying myself. In fact, Im thinking Ill do the Angel Creek 50 miler in July.
I havnt run a 50 mile race in ~7 years but things seem to be coming together, i not ore from daily runs and Im getting faster and faster, As of now, My longest run has been 13 but I still have 6-7 weeks to build and then a week to sort of taper off. This race will just be a fun run, Ill go just to enjoy being out and the goal will be finishing strong.

last week of Smolov Jr Bench. I will probably go to a 5X5 for a while. It is one hard sucker. 1 more workout to go in the third week of the program.
3000 m of C2 intervals.
20 min of easy bike.

Akpendude- good luck on the 50 miler- that's a toughy! weight trained yesterday evening, no squats! my legs are sore to the touch, hoping a easy 5-ish on the trails this evening will take a little soreness out

I used to be a very solid 50 mile runner but then I went overseas and had to stop doing that. This first one back will just be for fun.

1st day off after three heavy bench press days. I rototilled the teacher garden for three hours for my potato patch. I have to have my 250 lbs of potatoes.

Too funny. Got some tilling in my near future, though the old rear-tine BCS is actually not so bad. Took a couple days off (firewood kinda whupped up on my shoulders) but did do a very aerobic push-mowing of 2/3 acre the other day. Also plumbed in the vanity I recently built, which was a surprisingly effective core workout... grin... [bleep] plumbing anyway... Good weather inbound so it'll be back on the bike here shortly. Can't wait. Any of you guys process some major mental stuff when working out? I do. Got a backlog. Yay spring!!!

Been walking every morning. Lifting on a regular basis and throwing in some hard conditioning. All that mixed in with Spring cleaning and yard work has me feeling pretty darn good.
Jeff O, I think about hunting a lot while I work out especially when I'm doing cardio. I plan some pretty epic long hunts in places I'll most likely never go, but still love to day dream about.

Last day of smolov Jr. Bench. 10 sets of 355lbs X 3 reps. 4 sets of 225lbs X 10 reps for warm up and cool down. leg extension machine 250? lbs X 25 reps X 5 sets. Hammer bicep Curls X 3 plates X 5 sets X 20 reps. Plate trap lifts X 5 sets X 25 Reps. Jailhouse 25 reps X 5 Sets. I think that this is ok since I started two months ago.
2000 M of C2 Intervals
20 minutes of bike.
Going to Seward for my sister's wedding and will work to come back. Never been to a Cabelas other than the one that I delivered papers to when I was 6 years old before heading North. I used to get christmas cards with gift cards from Dick and Mary Cabelas when I was delivering the Sidney Telegraph to them.
I will probably do a 5/3/1 circuit with one more Smolov Jr. I didn't try a 1 rep max but it has to be about 375lbs to 380lbs. One more cycle and I will get to 400/500/600 and then start work on functional strength. Pullups, hill climbs, packing and other things until Sheep season.

other than a few short runs this coming week, this ends my training for the Bob Marshall Open as it kicks off next Saturday- some record snowpack and high flows will make for a very interesting journey to be sure; training wise I think I'm pretty good to go 13-ish in the Elkhorns this morning
