snowy, cold AND beautiful 7 miles on snowshoes with Tiny Elvis

Assault treadmill: 30minutes
Stairmaster: 30minutes

-4 for a high today, -20 tonight 7 miles on the dreadmill

-3 for our high today- a warming trend!

6 miles of hills on the dreadmill- worked slowly up to 15 incline and then would go back and forth between 1 (running) for two tenths and 15 (crawling :D) for two tenths of a mile- pretty good hill workout

So yesterday turned into more of a workout than intended, and a very nice day!

Walked 1.5 miles to the gym. Did a pretty serious "total body" weight workout including a lot of leg work: squats, deadlift, straight leg deadlift, leg press, leg extensions, leg curls. Then walked 1.5 miles home, uphill. (no, it wasn't "uphill both ways")

Then two buddies reached out and asked if I'd like to snowshoe with them... Sure! Why not? We hiked 4 miles in the hills.


End of the day, ya, my legs were tired. A good tired.

Work: Quick weights. Romanian deadlifts, curls, hyperextensions.

Just got home and it is has been snowing. Soooo, probably 30minutes with the shovel.

Hiked 7+ miles on that coast trail we like. Tide was way out and the surf perch weren't biting, or else I was too skeered to wade out far enough. With the tide this low, I had to wade ankle/calf deep until I had like 50 yards of water behind me, granted very SHALLOW water but it felt like a setup for a sneaker wave so I stopped and came in. But look at my Strava track! Goes into the ocean, haha.

Strength this AM - squats, bench, BB row, dips, BB curls

Assault treadmill: 45minutes
Stair master: 45minutes
Weights: seated rows, one arm rows, kettlebell swings, renegade rows, inverted rows.

MtWarden: Question....

What footwear have you found good for a trial hike that involves a lot of up and down hill, along with shuffling along on the flats to make up time? It would be a 34mile hike if my name gets chosen. At the gym today I talked with a lady whose friend did it previously. She lost most of her toenails. Something I would like to avoid.

Lots of mud if the weather turns wet.

Cardio in the gym for me, 30 minutes stair machine, 30 on the bike. Got in a little walking this weekend walking around Lake Miramar in San Diego. Fish weren't biting so it was a good day for walking.

Take a peek at the Sportiva Akasha's- they are the heaviest trail runner that La Sportiva makes (but not overly heavy)- they have a good roomy toe box that many La Sportiva models don't, their outsoles are the best- they made their fame in climbing shoes and put together a great sticky compound along with a good aggressive pattern. I've done 3 of the 4 Bob Marshall Opens with the Akasha's (not the same pair :)) and quite a few mountain races as well. I've even worn them a few times in warmer weather elk hunting (with my boots and load pack in my truck)

-25F this morning, got up to a balmy -3 for a high :rolleyes:

7 miles on the dreadmill

Thanks will do so.

They pick around 550 entrants and will find out shortly if we are a go.

This would be it:

hmmm- if you get it figured out, would like to take a peek

@battue looks like a worthy event hope you get in!

-27 this morning, we're supposed to break 0 tomorrow, call me less than optimistic

squats 5/3/1+/10, bench 5/3/1+/10 @ 75/85/95/70% of 1RM
pull-ups 3x11, dips 3x30, core

Changed it up a little yesterday. Instead of upper body one day and lower body the next the trainer I've been using likes to do upper body push and lower body pull exercises one day, and then the opposite the next with core mixed in. So yesterday was upper body push/lower body pull.

Dreadmill last night
Strength this AM - squats, press, DL, LTE

OK, this is my good deed for the day. Now I can get back to serious perving at the gym....
