Some pics from our trip into the Gearhart Wilderness for you, Mike. :

The geology was cool. The first mile or so from the trailhead had these "wattles" they called the Pinnacles. The rock had horizontal straitions. Would've made for some great bouldering.





Mt. Gearhart is a scarp face. We camped near the meadow. It was 6.5 miles in.





I love things like this. This was way too big or I'd have taken it out with me!





I'm getting the hang of imgur but I like PB much better!

Jeff- neat looking country! Can't say that I've ever seen rock formations like that; looks like the dogs are enjoying themselves

Mike

Bench, Quads(doing Hacksquats and extensions-sheep hunting directed), curls, heavy rows-

Then I had to move a 400 lb wood cooking stove that has been in our family for nearly 100 years from my parents house to our shop. Those old time guys didn't have to do crossfit.

4 miles on the trails early this morning, headlamp about half of the way

Cardio yesterday, legs/core today. September 3rd, D-day!

5.5 mile fast walk

Superhuman.




Dave

An impostor!!

Tiny E and I hit the big hill early- it gains 1000' in 3/4 of mile, then loop around the back side of the mountain for 3 miles total

a nice 5.5 miles on the trails early

two sets of 100 meter lunges, unbroken, but unweighted

Upper body yesterday, cardio today. Ramping up a little for the target date of September 3rd.

Ankle any better?

Thanks for asking but no, it's not going to get any better. Except when I take 800-1000 mg. of Ibuprofen. And get a steroid shot in a couple of weeks.

You need to visit battue's Dr. Feelgood.

Don't overlook the "green" options available. I've seen great things as a general inflammation suppressor. Can't speak to if it'd help in an acute situation, but... any port in a storm and all that, and once you open the door to powerful drugs with side affects....

I've tried most of 'em, almost eliminated wheat, cut way back on saturated fats, eat lots of omega 3's, berries, leafy greens, tart cherry juice, Curcumin, and so on and so forth There's only so much that can be done with good old fashioned bone-on-bone arthritis.

Battue had an injection of Kenalog, that's what I got two years ago, and am getting again here soon.

5 mile hike into some falls (no trail) with wife, grandson and Tiny E

set the alarm for 3:30, at the trailhead at a little after 4:00- back at the truck before 7:30 with 17 miles

little smoky here; I guess that's to be expected with 400,000 acres and counting burned

My buddy w/RA is doing many of those things... the most egregious being no alcohol due to the methatraxate he's taking.

I meant literally green. I'd suggest high-CBD edibles. I get remarkable results from edibles that aren't even high-CBD... and a nice alcohol-esque relaxation effect. Just a thought. But bone on bone is what is... keep truckin', I know you will.

no alcohol doesn't include IPA's right?

strength trained this evening

warmup
squats, deads, bench 3x5
pullups 3x11
dips 3x30
core

Cardio for me today. I think. I tried Jeff_O's suggestion and I forgot. Could've been upper body? Or maybe I just sat and watched the MILFs?
