5-ish miles on the trails, relatively easy pace, but got some good climbing in

Just got back into the gym Sunday after having a bad head cold for about a week. Kicked my butt, and it's still sore.

got another 5-ish in on the trails- same scenario, big climb (1400' in the first mile) than a gradual downhill out; will be the last run before this weekend's event

Back from Wedding. I had three crowns put in today. Temps until 5/8. I am going with 5x5 major lifts. 1.2.3 until I get my bearings again. Bench Press 5 Sets of 5 reps at 325lbs. db rows 5 sets X 10 reps at 105lbs. 5 Sets of 50 reps of Jailhouse Reps. Hammer Strength Curls X 5 Sets X 90lbs X 20 Reps. Lat Pulldowns X 5 sets X 10 reps X 180lbs?


2000 M of C2 Intervals.

That's it. I have got to work freight tomorrow but I am hoping to get some lifting in at the end.

just found out that I got in the Bridger Ridge Run (lottery system)! it's a really (really) tough 20 mile race- most of it along almost non-existent mountain goat trail

Yeah, that looks a lot like where I do my warm-up trail runs.....

Congrats Warden, but try to keep that ugly dude from photobombing your race pics.

No kidding! That looks like where mountain goats go to DIE.

Cool morning so I "finished" the firewood. 4 cords cut, hauled, split as necessary, stacked... my usual spring workout. Don't know how to quantify it but I'm a baaad man swinging a maul right now.

Mike,

You will enjoy the Bridger Ridge Run! One year when I was running it it snowed....a lot. Ended up breaking one finger, spraining two others and tore up my rotator cuff. Still had a blast!!!

27 mile hill ride.

Ed
that might have been the same year my buddy ran it- he said there were a lot of folks in shorts and singlets with no beanie, no gloves, no jacket when it started snowing- ouch!

Mike

Mike,

It has always amazed me at the number of people running trail ultras with no jacket, gloves etc. Or then you have those that carry a hefty bag as their rain gear???
Have fun in the Bob this weekend and be safe!

Ed- thanks!

You may have heard, but we had a gal that got caught out for a night in the Elkhorns the year before on one of the HURL long runs. Not dressed very well and nothing for a possible night out. Kind of scary, she was OK the next day, but probably better prepared the next outing

Mike,

That same thing happened a while back during the Elkhorn 100k. A runner took a wrong turn at Clear Creek, got totally lost and ended up at Eagle Ranger Station where he spent the night. It's always good to be prepared to spend a night out if necessary.

My God in Heaven mtwarden that sounds like something a man should only do if he's got a war party chasing him! Even then I'd take my chances by turning into them and fighting.

Walked the dogs into the ground this morning. Just lifted weights and now I'm waiting on The Wife to get home from work to go on another walk. Pants are getting looser. Belt is getting longer.

Back from the Wedding and a hiatus. Three major lifts today. BP 5X5 @ 325, DL 5X5 @455, SQT 5X5 @ 375 I think I went light on SQTs but that is ok. 2000 MC2 and 20 min of bike slow.

I'm alive! got out yesterday afternoon after a 115 miles of plenty of steep ascents/descents, swollen creeks/rivers, snow covered passes, massive amounts of blowdown and lots and lots of beautiful country!
