1/2 day firewood. Finish line is in sight. Strong like ox <g>. As far as yearly obligations go, spending a couple weeks outside doing hard manual labor in the sweet Oregon springtime, does not suck one bit.

Going fishin tomorrow, but we'll likely stay inside the jetties so probably won't be much workout happening.

6 miles on the trails w/ Tiny E- saw my first crocus of the year, better late than never

3-mile walk for me, once I get my feet in shape I'll add a pack.

Cardio at the gym for me today, an hour of intervals.

4 miles and just shy of 2000' gain this evening with Tiny E

gym this morning

deadlifts and overhead press 3/3/3+/10 @ 70/80/90/70% of 1RM
lunges 3x40 yds
chin-ups 3x12
core

5 miles on the trails w/ Tiny E- gorgeous day and tomorrow brings snow

Full day workin' firewood. Split white oak rounds to start, sectioned the unsplitable ones with a chain saw next, then brought two truckloads (last ones!) out of the woods, cut a bunch up, stacked in the shed. I'd say another solid half-day and I'll be done.

By "done" do you mean "done" making this bullschit up every day?

Or just "done" pretending to split wood?

21 mile hike/run w/ a buddy today (he's doing the Bob Marshall Open as well); challenging conditions- upper 20's w/ snow and a brutal wind, steady 15-20 mph w/ gusts near 40- brrrrrrr!

Well I foresaw a solid half-day and it was all of that, but 2020 firewood is in da HOUSE! Errr, shed.

5+ hours haul, cut, split, stack.

Someone send this guy a medal.

Easy.......remember this is his safe space!

Cardio in the gym for me yesterday, an hour of intervals on the stair machine and bike. Took some friends to Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Sunday, walked the stairs from the parking lot to the top a few times, and then saw some guys doing jumps up the bench seats. Kind of like box jumps if you could stack about a hundred boxes up, staggered like a giant staircase. So I did some too. Friggin' 20-somethings. I'm gonna have to do that again though.

Upper body in the gym for me today. No dog accompanied me.

Confession time,

last 2 days, nada.....nothing......Other than that job thingy. (the equivalent of climbing 50/75 flights of stairs).

No dog either. No woodpile. Just that damn boring furnace.

On a related note, you should see my buddies brand new bestest 7 week old Black Lab-pup, YHGTBFKM.

Dude. You need to get yourself a boat.

5 miles on the trail w/ Tiny E, he found something f^cking nasty- thinking a paunch from a dead deer and summarily rolled thoroughly in it- that's my buddy

in that regard, Saturday will be like an Olympic triathlon event,,,,

I fully intend to move 5000 lbs great distances over 50 miles ah hour.

I kid you not.

LOL, if he didn't do stuff like that he wouldn't be a real dog, right?
