It's been hot hot hot here and homey don' set no stinking alarms for 3:30 to go running so I don't have much to report other than 4 miles beach walk yesterday. However I did buy a double IPA @ 9% ABV. That's gotta count for SOMETHING around here.

Cardio today, 817 calories in an hour. Around here, our double IPAs go 10+.

Don't want to jinx myself, but I think I just might have scored a top 20 finish in the Elkhorn 23k (they'l post up the official results sometime today or tomorrow). The weather was unbelievably perfect- 50 degrees to start, 59 degrees when I finished- overcast the entire time. Considering we've just endured 5 straight weeks of 90+ degree weather, I can't tell you what a blessing this was.

got out for a nice 7-ish mile hike with Tiny E and my wife; was only planning on 4-ish, but she wanted to keep going smile I'm a firm believer in active recovery; definitely rest, but I find I recover a lot quicker when I add some movement

28 mile ride, nothing too fierce. Very restorative.

Tiny E and I were up before the sun and got in a nice 3 miles on the trails- smoke has really cleared out nicely and a brisk 51 degrees.

posted up the results- finished 20 out of 70, not bad for an old guy laugh

I did the mtwarden workout this AM and it was exhausting. I did modify it slightly. Got up later, gained less altitude over a shorter distance in more time. Otherwise identical. Congrats mtwarden you are an inspiration to us truly old guys.

Mike, that was hilarious!!!!! Excellent....

Treadmill: 30minutes with up/down incline.

Bench Press 4x15, Pec Dec 4x15, Lat pull down 4x15, Chinups 4x5, Pushups 4x15 then 8x10, one arm rows 4x15.

Isn't as much fun when you thigh goes numb and your knee screams. Ultra Sound Doc on August 20 something. Earlier if they get a cancel.

The Bridger Ridge run has some tough cut off times, that 1000' of up on a scree slope sounds like it could mess w/ your mind. Have fun and good luck.

Thanks- it's definitely a grueller; it may have been surpassed by now, but was considered the toughest 20 mile race for a long time- I've done it twice, my goal is to finish smile

^ definitely smile

Tiny E and I were up early and got 3-ish miles in, took the steepest route to the top of Mt Helena roughly a 1200' gain in a mile- had the help of the moon so didn't need the headlamp

Got 415 BP today. Increase on quads with low squats, hack squats and extensions. Just got to build up quads for carrying. Three good trips up Birch Hill with Pack. All looks good. Hot for us. +80F.

Leave Thursday for antelope chasin'. About my only fitness "booyay!" is that I'm just coming off an intensive stretch of time rassling things and standing on concrete and me feet and lower back are in good shape. I've been stretching a lot and cranking music to keep me moving when I'm stationed in front of a machine, seems to be working.

Setting up a decadent base camp for 'lopes (might even include IPA) but I'm taking my solo backpacking gear as an option. It's going to be HOT. Ironically, not really set up for that. Don't own a light bag. If the nights are dry and aren't too cold I could just bivvy in my clothes with my meat-processing ground tarp to cut wind. I digress, sorry.
