15 miles (gave Tiny E the day off) on a gorgeous morning- upper 50's and overcast; gives me a 40 mile week (and Tiny E 25 :))

Really setting the pace there mtwarden. Good stuff.

Tiny E's legs aren't nearly as long...

He's working extra hard just to keep up!

Did 23 miles on the road bike day before yesterday. Nice ride with two FASTER riders. Dang, competition is brutal!

thaks- always seems hunting season is a long ways off and then all of sudden- it's here!


that's why he got the day off today

I used to occasionally run with a couple of folks who were faster, I was always sore after running with them

AMRAP 5 minutes Box Jumps

Lost count and puked!

Took another hike with the pack this morning early.. Felt good but would've felt even better if not for those damn Belgian monks.

They make a helluva beer.

Ya, okay I had wheels... How do those guys run so far, so fast? Goodness.

Are you a body builder?

Got back in the gym today for a lower body workout. I've been hitting the trail with a loaded pack, and that seems to have improved almost everything I do in the gym, as far as the weights I can comfortably lift with the lower body.

SP, that's great that the ankle is "functional enuff"...

Took my little boat several miles out onto the big pond after salmon yesterday. First time going out so far... so brave, so very very brave.... lol.... Started calm then got quite rough. As always for me, a very sufficient core workout- can feel it today fo sho. Boated 3 salmon.

Walked 2.5 miles in the flats today, only notable because it was Cyn's first time hoofing it since she FUBAR'd her ankle. In theory, she starts a major section hike in 2 weeks. Tryin' hard... we'll see.

Did feel good (for me I mean) to walk a bit. Just been grindin' and fishin'. Nether involves walkin'.

Back at it again. Got 3 workouts on dreadmill in so far this week. Expect another tomorrow and may go on a group hike on Saturday. Weather is supposed to be good and I need some woods therapy.

two day, one night trip into the Big Belts with my wife and Tiny Elvis- 16 miles w/ a lot of the "up stuff"

That trout would make awesome ling cod bait.

Upped it to 3.5 miles walking today; her cankle was sore last night but didn't do anything obnoxious after the first walk so we will ramp up the miles in the flats a few more days, then get back to hiking trails around here. Her main concern is going uphiill; it doesn't want to bend that way at all. She's re-assessing her plan for the big section; prior plan she had to average ~17 miles a day for a month. That may be unrealistic now, she's just gonna have to see how it responds... but that's a big daily AVERAGE on healthy feet. Anyway new plan seems to be more like 10 miles a day plus the resupply logistics are WAY easier. I'm going to join her for a big chunk in the middle of it, hopefully a couple weeks, which is one reason I'm grinding hard now, to free up a big block of time.

Anyway.... 3.5 ain't much but that's all I gots. That and the daily h/a jungle gym stuff.

Most of the ling cod you catch would make awesome ling cod bait...
