Or some other type of failure.

"what could go wrong"....

Back again SP? No elk?

Not yet. First hunt was hot and they weren't bugling. Got within arrow range but no shot. Going back for four days at the end of the week, looks to be much better weather.

four miles snowshoeing; that's not a typo :)- I had planned a 12-ish mile trip w/ the possibility of some snow shoeing; at the trailhead there was 12-14" of snow, a mile or so up 2 feet! sadly it was crusted over and I was postholing every single step and I knew it was going to get better, so bagged it about 2 miles in

Tiny E took advantage of a gorgeous afternoon (sunny and 50's) and got 4 miles in; the snow line is at about 5500'

Tiny Elvis and I got a nice 3-ish miles on a gorgeous fall evening

Still listening to you heathens. Doing the gym thing and 3mile hikes with a 35pound back. Went to the gym this evening and they had their first stepper. Did 110 floors in 31minutes. I like it.

At my old gym we had one of the older (maybe still made????) stair machines that worked like an escalator - I fondly called it the stairs of death; there was maybe three people (one being me) that used this machine- this was a great workout that I would often combine with the treadmill, going back and forth between the two. I wish my current gym had one.

Sounds like the same thing, a 5 step escalator.

Stepper would be the wrong nomenclature. It would be this one, aka stair master gauntlet.

^ that's it! stairs of death- great machine

took the day off from work and met some friends who were traveling to Portland from Pennsylvania and got in a nice 14 miles

Quick weight work and then 31min on the stair master. Made 103 floors.That is a machine built for hunters.

^ agreed- its a dandy- would love to have one in my garage (or at least my gym!)

Tiny Elvis and I got 4 miles in this evening, we dodged a rain, but got to enjoy the mid 40's temps it ushered in

My scenery wasn't nearly as nice as mtwarden's.

I stayed indoors & did 45 minutes of elliptical broken into 90 second intervals with 10 rounds each of wall ball, kb swings & pushups between. Heart was chugging right along.

Wendler week 2 - bench and squats; w/ 6x10 chin-ups, 6x20 dips, core

Stair steps to heaven--30minutes. (Watched a guy start on the machine. He lasted 3-4minutes and then hit the stop button. One gal tho, and she was pushing hefty, stayed on for 30minutes. She hung in.)

Weights: arms and back.

You let her get on top? Isn't that risky for a guy your age??

Na, it's good to sometimes let them drive.


Elk? Like maybe you could send me a steak or two. Well, three or four would be better. It's kinda hard to come by over here.

None yet. Maybe rifle season.

this morning 200 meters of lunges unbroken- doesn't seem to be getting any easier

this evening Tiny E and I got 4-ihs miles in a fresh snow
