Elliptical: 10minutes Stairmaster: 10minutes Weights: 40minutes Apple watch said 6.2miles with Merlot on the trial with one monster 1mile hill. MtWarden: Those LaSportiva trial shoes have some serious stick. Nice toe box and tight enough around the middle to keep your toes from jamming into the front on the downhills. Appreciate the recommendation. If any are interested in them they size out small. I had to go up 1full size. That’s my main issue with LaSportiva. I wear a 13 and in many of their styles they only go to 13.5. And for the ones that go to14+ they are very difficult to find in stock.

I ordered these from Backcountry.com at a great price. However, I think you can order directly from LaSportiva if they don’t have or can’t get what you want.

4 minutes of cardio then 10 burpees for 15 rounds.
Burpees suck.

I just scored a pair for $65 shipped from Sierra Trading Post (w/ an additional 20% coupon)- little less than half price :); lots of sizes but nothing quite as big as you need Ed

1.5 hours on the new MTB! Didn't run Strava so I have no idea the miles. We did a few brutal, brutal climbs. This is gonna be fun!

sounds like fun!
I've been out of the fold for the last couple of days w/ the flu (my wife works at an Elementary School and frequently tests my immune system), feeling slightly better today- the fever is finally down, the flu sucks!!!

I have the same issue; those elementary schools are like viral Ground Zero! Get well. Yes, it was fun! I told my buddy to just rattle my cage and don't mind when I growl at you... haha... I'm stacked busy with deadlines to hit and a spring break road trip looming but I gotta sneak out for things like that ride or what's the point of all this anyway?!

Good grief! An hour after my morning workout my arm, shoulder, back & chest muscles were still twitching!
I did an hour on the exercise bike, then lifted and did pull ups for 30 min. Really cut down on the time between sets, I think that's what worked the muscles so hard, 'cause I didn't bump up the weights or reps any.

Dearly love my old Trek hard tail mountain bike and the workouts that come with it. I've had it a long time and have enjoyed some wonderful rides. I'm not one for doing stunts & such, but dearly love riding on the gated off Forest Service roads where it's legal to do so. The bike allows me to cover so much more ground than I can by hiking! Photos from last year. Snow still covers those roads now: Guy

Strength this morning - squats, press, deads, LTE. Missed reps on the press, just didn't have it today. Might tag along with a new hiking group on a short jaunt tomorrow. Should be interesting being amongst the tree hugger types.

Guy, exactly my plan. Nothing technical, no single-track. I did some gonzo MTB'ing back in the day but none of that nonsense now. Can't risk another bonk on the noggin. We stayed mostly on one main logging road but did climb several spurs off of it. Those climbs kicked my butt. Climbing on a MTB is a whole other thing than on a road bike. On a road bike the power is applied smoothly and predictably. MTB is much choppier. Sure got my quad's attention! On that note, I was very pleased I could not even feel the quad muscle I pulled a couple months ago, unlike last time I rode when it was barking.

Came out of it fine with the exception of the old right hip whatever acted up at the end. Not as bad as in the past, but it is still there.

If you use your imagination..... that is a seriously disturbing photograph. These parts I'm working on are heavy (22 lbs? 25?) and out of balance and need to be CRANKED tight into the chuck before you can spin 'em.... Call it work, workout, or "whatever", but by hands/arms etc got a lot of "whatever" today. I'm whipped.

Your Rorschach test must have given some interesting results.

I'm pretty sure a doc wouldn't be overly approving, but my mental health demanded I get out- 4 miles with Tiny Elvis a view of part of the steep ridge route we do, probably be a bit before I tackle it

6 miles of snowshoeing with Tiny E; probably should have chosen something a little easier- oh well. Tiny Elvis packed this deer leg bone almost a mile before he lost interest
