This is what it looks like there in the area that didn't burn. Old growth Ponderosa. Very parklike. Never saw so much as a poop from a mammal. Guess the deer/elk/bear are way up high in July?

got in a good (600' of gain) 3 miles w/ Tiny E before sunrise- we were the only ones at the trailhead when we arrived- probably a dozen vehicles when we left, 3-4 hours in the morning is all that is tolerable

40 mile ride w/ buddy; big climbs. Best part---- no IT pain! I changed a couple things about my fit on the bike. Fingers crossed.

Been working back from shin splint issues. Set out on a 4.5 mile run with 400' of up. Had to walk at 3.9 when the shins very definitively said "STOP."
Ugh.
But I'm not pushing them. Better to ease up on the cardio than eff up my shins enough to be a problem in October.

It was certainly putting power through the knees a bit differently; I could feel it a bit more under the kneecap (patella?) than before, but it never got painful and they are fine now so that seems to be an ok tradeoff. If it fixes the IT issue I can start banging big miles again; a couple years ago at my peak I was doing 50+ miles every other day like clockwork. That was a bit much doing it so frequently, but rides of that length have an epic quality that's just plain fun. ttd- try a bike for low impact cardio! Find the biggest meanest hills in your AO.... you'll get your fill of cardio!

I did two rides this week on my Specialized....16.5 and 22.5.....indoor on the trainer, but weather was what it was. 16.5 was a straight ride, but the 22.5 miler was an interval workout......left a puddle on the floor from sweating on that one.
Might get on the road this weekend, weather looks good....although I tend to use weekends to get in hikes with a pack.

Went shooting long range this morning & did some steel plate maintenance... about 4 miles of hiking/scrambling off trail.

Must be because its a short action. They're superior, you know?

They are AWESOME for trolling older hunters! I'll have to revisit that thread. I did some reading on short vs. long action stiffness last night... was interesting in an inconclusive sort of way.

18 miles and 1200' on the bike today. Not huge but was a nice way to shake off work and end the day.

Buddy is trying to talk me into an evening mountain bike ride. I'm [bleep] with my ancient Trek MTB..... was a good bike 30 years ago, good components, but the years have not been kind to it. Cannot swap the pedals to save my life! So far Liquid Wrench and a torch have failed. Hmmm.
