3.5 miles with my wife and Tiny E- beautiful evening

TNation: Squats, BP, Arm rows, Good mornings

Rower: 20min

Mike- Cyn and I hit Backcountry Outfitters today and snagged her a Western Mountaineering 10F bag. Seems sweet! She looked at the WM 20F bag, and also quilts, but she sleeps cold and this is hopefully "the bag" for the next couple decades so I convinced her to go with the 10F bag even though it's several ounces heavier. Anyway, thanks for your advice.

9 miles on trails this evening with 1500’ of elevation gain. Only a few patches of snow left,

3 miles with 40 lbs yesterday before work, PNWild mountain hunter workout Day 2 on Wednesday and day 3 this morning. Spending this evening and all day tomorrow hanging out with my boys while they go through Hunter's safety course! Tomorrow starts off at 630 with the shooting portion.

I think that’s a great choice; Marmot made (maybe still does) women specific bags within the same model line- their women’ bags were obviously a little shorter, BUT they had more ounces of fill than the larger men’s bag. Bottom line, women tend to sleep a little cooler than men and should be taken into consideration.

Easy 8 mile ride last night and an easy (or at least slow) nautical mile of swimming today.

4 miles and 800’ with Tiny E this evening

Bunch of other stuff....

Nooooooooooooo

Enough already, It's been around 5 days..I and the three others are running out of patience.

8.25 miles on our local 12k course; race is next weekend- normally run the 30k, but it’s too close to the Bob Open this year, so will run the 12k instead- it’s a challenging course with a lot of climbing

2x23 Roll-outs

50min Dog hike.

8.5 miles on trails today.

Core workout in the form of 6 hours on a choppier-than-forecast Pacific ocean in my little boat.

Got our limits of ling cod. Biggest was 29". You certainly know you did something at the end of a day getting tossed around.

Went fishing this weekend. Lots of walking but the only time the heart rate got elevated was when I caught that big brown......

I did a 1.5 mile hike yesterday with 25lb pack. According to the Garmin, 1000ft of elevation. Kicked my butt.
Aside from the plague I was fighting, it turns out my vocal cords are not opening, probably nerve damage from the radiation treatments. Doc says I'm operating at 1/5th of normal airway opening. Was at Cleveland Clinic last week and have appt in Phlly on the 14th.

While frustrating, at least I'm still on the right side of the grass. On a positive note, I was able to get a MT surplus elk combo tag.

20 miles snowshoeing on Sunday. Scouting our starting route for the Bob Marshall Open in three weeks. With record snow fall this winter and a very late spring, it’s likely to prove the most challenging Open to date. We could only make up the road so far and had to snowshoe 3 miles just to get to the trailhead. The North Fork of the Blackfoot was raging, as were it’s tribs. I think the numerous fords will prove even more troublesome than the snow.
