Cascade sorry for your lost, them dogs break our hearts for sure. Looks like you have slimmed down a bit. Way to keep at it.

I did this but at 1/2 the reps on Monday and didn't time it. First time doing anything but running in a long time. Legs are s o r e... It's a good workout.

looks like a few us 60+ still kicking around!

pointer- agreed, it’s a tough workout; I’d throw in some half and then 3/4 workouts prior to doing the whole workout- definitely helps having the body somewhat conditioned to those exercises

Closer to 62 than 61 for me.
Started running in my mid 20's. Started running ultras in my mid 30's.
Haven't run an ultra event in 14 years but have done a few solo ultras since then. Hike a lot more than run these days, just prefer it.
No significant injury's from all the mileage. Shoulders are shot from 30 years in construction, doing lots of things by myself that I should have had help with.

Ah, live and learn. The next 40+ years, I will take better care of myself

With the addition of Tiny E two years ago, my hiking now far exceeds my running as well. What I find surprising is that when do decide to go for a run, it's not overly hard- as you might think it would be cutting back so much. It just might be that hiking (albeit fast and on rougher terrain) in lieu of running, doesn't negatively impact your running a lot.

I've yet to meet the hike I can't complete, I know it'll happen someday... however the pace is what it is. Nobody would accuse me of running.

Cyn sprained the [bleep] out of her ankle, all swole up and turning colors. Ugh. We were plotting a short backpacking trip for late this week, plus we want to climb South Sister (mountain in the Cascades), plus plus plus... and then she plans to attempt all of the washington PCT in August, which she'll need to average over 15 miles/day, so in a sense the rest of the summer is lead-up and training for that. She says she felt a grating sensation when it happened (mowing brush).... I'm really worried she bruised bones. Guess time will tell. Injuries SUCK ASS.

Old age and injuries have reduced my abilities somewhat, but I still enjoy the effort required to be able to move on foot in the mountains. As long as I have this to look forward to my life will be complete. The hot hours in the home gym are improved by watching You Tube vids of mountain athletes in amazing places. I can watch pretty girls run Ultras and climb ice for hours.

Just short of 5 mile hike this morning. Rained pretty good. Got out of the hills just as the thunder and serious rain started.

Was a good hike though.

I've been icing/stretching/rolling multiple times per day and my foot felt a lot better today, good enough I decided to hit the trails and see what happens- actually didn't hurt much and was able to get 4 miles in with Tiny E, slowed the pace and picked a little easier loop- can't tell you how good it felt to get back on the trails!

Part of my "gym"

I like this old bike, got it somewhere around 15-20 years ago. Just an old American made Trek hardtail mountain bike. I still love the heck out of pedaling it either around town or up in the hills. We've had some grand adventures, and wow, what a workout that whole mountain-biking thing can be. Photo taken Tuesday on a 16 - 17 mile ride above town. Good workout!



My son and his buddies built that table about ten years ago, then dis-assembled it, hiked it into the location overlooking our valley, and put it back together. It needs to be sanded, stained and to have all the bolts tightened. Sounds like another good workout, hiking the tools & stain in there.
