the lunges are part of an effort to attempt a really tough workout I got emailed to me from Stone Glacier (hunting pack outfit)
they call for a 60# pack, two 20# dumbells in hand and 200 meters straight of lunges- two sets of 100 meters unweighted lunges are brutal, no way I could even attempt theirs at this point
in addition: they first call for 2x400's, 2 x800's and 2x400's (resting between sprints for as long as it took you to run each)
then the lunge torture
then 10 minutes straight (still w/ 60# pack and dumbbells) of stair climbing/descending
and finally three sets of 30 second planks w/ the 60# pack on
I don't know if I'll get it done before hunting season, but maybe by next hunting season- I do know that I'm going to be incrementally working up to the weight, not going to do anything stupid just before hunting season

does seems slightly over the top; funny no warning either- like gradually work up to this- please don't try this as is first (well unless you're a top finisher at the Crossfit Championships :D)

27 mile hill ride; felt aerobically strong. Guess chasing antelope at altitude had benefits! The bastards put chipseal on the road at the core of the ride. Ugh.
The CENTER will hold.

Did lower body/core today. Didn't get to it yesterday, I was busy managing a blind dog triathlon. Our 12 year-old golden retriever went blind on Saturday. He lost one eye to glaucoma two years ago, and his other eye went on Saturday in the matter of two hours. I took him out in the morning and we did our regular 3-mile walk, he was flushing pheasants and chasing deer. Two hours later he was walking into walls. Took him to the vet and the pressure in his eye was off the chart, and the optic nerve was fried.
He loves to swim so I've been taking him to his favorite spot at the lake. Last night he swam for about an hour, probably close to a mile. Then I took him to our neighborhood park because it's flat and grassy with not much to run into. We did a quick half-mile loop and he was enjoying it. We ran into 4-5 people with dogs and he was the only one well-behaved enough to be off-leash. Found his way around pretty good, he's only been blind for a few days. We got back to the truck, I had backed it up to a little slope so the tailgate was only 16-18 inches off the ground. I was getting ready to lift him up and put him in when he sniffed the tailgate, gathered himself, and jumped on in with no help, just like he did when he could see.
Hell of a dog.

our previous dog lost his sight; his was a slower process- we didn't notice it at first, but eventually was completely blind- he still had several good years afterwards and seemed to enjoy life as much as he did pre-blindness
we can learn a lot from dogs

Yep. One of which don't take your vision for granted. Keep up with seeing your eye Doc. You can, Toby didn't have a choice.
