Monday, yuck! I made it this morning despite the dog waking me up at 0330. A pretty good back and legs day today. A short treadmill warmup then 3 warmup sets of lat pull-downs and leg extensions then three working supersets. Fairly heavy weight concentrating on volume and time under tension so a pretty slow movement.

V-bar row/seated calf raise toes straight
Hack squat/v-bar pull-down/seated calf raise toes in
Straight bar inverse grip row/prone leg curl
Incline lawnmowers/leg extension
Body weight ring pullups/cable rotations/ball crunches

Did a solo ocean fishing trip out of Depoe today; in sum total it certainly feels like I "did something" today. Ocean works my core.

Taking a customer of mine out tomorrow; didn't even unhook the boat from the truck or flush the motors. Just hosed out most of the blood. Oh yeah, I slayed major fish today. Hope/expect to tomorrow as well. <Sam Kinnison scream> FISH WHERE THE FISH ARE!!! AAAAGGGHHH! Haha

12 miles with 6 of the 7 the goats this weekend on their first overnighter. Couldn’t get past 10,200 feet in north facing timber to make our one way trail connector due to snow. So back tracked, put up camp and came out the same way. Pictures to come once I pay the photobucket ransom

Lower body/core in the gym for me yesterday, upper body on tap today.

Short, seven mile mountain bike ride this morning with about 1,500' of climbing. I have to admit to pushing the bike up some of the bigger, tougher hills.

What a ride back down!

Should have brought the fly rod, fish were rising...



The 15+ year old Trek hardtail. I still like that danged thing, all these years later.

Nice!!

Decided I didn't want to run Old Main today so I grabbed a pack and added a few (9) lead ingots. It weighed right at 50 lbs and I made 17 trips up the hill with it. The Polar rated the workout as "mild" however, my feet, butt and shoulders feel differently.

No doubt!

nice 6 mile loop with Tiny E, got in half the loop dry- second half- not so much

Cascade- you need a little Tenkara rod, super compact/light- extend it out and you can slay trout with it all day long!

Sat my fat a_s on a plane today.

Cascade- there's no shame in pushing a MTB up steep stuff. I HAD to last time I rode; if I stood up the rear tire would spin out and the climbs were too long and steep to do the whole thing sitting.

Day 2 ocean fishin yesterday. My customer is a trooper and she will be invited back. We got 4 ling cod (limit) plus a few we released; 2 Cabezon (limit) and threw back another that was bigger than one we'd already killed, oh well, and got 7/10 of the rockfish we could keep. If I had the boat/gonads to go further offshore, guys were slaying coho 2-3,miles out. It was bathtub-calm but I'm still whipped.

Wishing everyone a great 4th!

fish... it's what's for supper

4 miles on the trails for Tiny E and I, timed it perfectly between rain events!

Death by Deads

275lb 16 rounds. Almost had 17 rounds missed it by three seconds.

4 miles on the trails with Tiny Elvis this morning- ab absolutely glorious morning- sun shining and in the low 50's- doesn't get much better!

two a days, just like in high school

squats 5/5/5+, bench 5/5/5+, pull-ups 3x10, dips 3x30, core

Took a hike with the pack, felt good.

another morning in paradise- low 60's, partly sunny-perfect! 8 miles on the trails for Tiny E and I

Tiny Elvis and I got our hill workout in this morning while it was still cool (upper 50's)- 4 mile loop that gains ~ 1600' in 1.5 miles, tiptoe steep for 30 minutes straight, the next 2.5 miles is a nice gradual downhill
