Same here Mike, the snow is about as high as I can pile it.

Yep, the glutes are going to hell. I can't move very fast so the women are swarming and having a field day fondling the glutes, they are covered with welts and hickies. Amazing at your age to have come back so quickly. You are a master in faking a limp and letting them catch you. And here I thought you were little more than a supreme Elk finding machine.

Well, I bit the bullet and bought a fat bike. Borealis Flume (Colorado company, did that just to help with Smoke's recovery.) I rode a friend's bike for a while Saturday, stewed on it Sunday, and then purchased Monday. Did about 10 miles and only got kicked off of one trail. Below zero temps are not kind to the cell phone, so not really sure how far I ended up going. Now I just need another $500 worth of crap (frame bag, lights, pogies) and she'll be good to go.

70-80 lbs sandbag work. Alternated various exercises and stair climbs. Between each set of exercises I kept it on my shoulders, or bear hugged it and carried it around with me while I sucked in some much need O2. Never set it down for 35 minutes. Felt like I could float when I did. Caught my breath and knocked out a few sets of dead hang pull-ups. Resting today and making food for my weekend at work meals.

29 mile ride. Embarked from my buddy's place and did a route we hadn't done in a while because we'd had a nasty dog interaction a couple years ago way up this rural Coast Range road. Anyway-killer route, super steep. And 61F and sunny.

Did upper body cardio today, 25 minutes of intervals on the arm bike and then 25 on the ski erg machine. Then three sets of four different leg lifts. I'll have to remember to wear long pants next time, there was a near riot as all the women were jostling for position to look up my shorts while I was doing the leg lifts. Good thing I wasn't commando, no telling what would've happened.

Sunny today and in the mid-40's here. I sat on the back porch (south-facing) with my shirt off for a while, vitamin D being important in bone generation and healing.
It was nice until I saw the two neighbor ladies ogling with binoculars, I had to go inside, I felt so cheap.
