sounds like she's going to make it one way or another 8 miles on the trails with Tiny Elvis; we should have hit the trails about three hours earlier!

Yeah.... just hope she hasn't been limping on it the last month. That's a great way to screw up your knees and hips at our advanced age <g>. She does have trekking poles to help keep her walking mechanics true.
Well.... she was obsessed. Yvonne Choinard has a great quote about how to become an elite mountaineer: you've got to get obsessed, and stay obsessed.

strict Cindy 20 minutes as many rounds as possible of 5 pullups 10 pushups 15 air squats well I was able to go 10 rounds unbroken and probably about 8 minutes, I had visions of getting 20 rounds-maybe more! the vision became blurry and then blurrier yet, oh well- 17 solid rounds

10-mile mountain bike ride with my buddy. Got my full attention. Nothing technical, but a lot of steep climbing. He had a route planned out on logging roads basically. It was only my third ride on the bike I bought like 6 months ago so I'm still figuring the dang thing out. A 29'er with suspension is a really different bike than a carbon road bike running ultegra. I love the traction and disc brakes on downhills; it reminds me of the dirt bikes I had growing up. Uphills are getting better. The problem is, can't stand up to pedal in steep dirt; the rear wheel loses traction and there's only so far you can shift your weight back.... I was able to coordinate my [bleep] enough to foresee the slightly flatter spots in climbs where I COULD upshift 4-5 gears and stand up for a while, then, downshift those same 4-5 gears as I was sitting down because it was getting too steep again, without losing momentum or spinning out. Being able to stand up even briefly really helps me in a long hard climb so this is good. Have a good weekend guys.

With hunting season just around the corner I'm ready though I will be switching from the Kelty pack to the Eberlestock F1 mainframe with batwings

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

Sounds good-thanks Our plan is a full traverse of the Cabinets from north to south, appears roughly a 1/4 of it on trail, 3/4+ off trail; the guy I'm supposed to go with has been working on this route for a couple of years. I'm sure it will be similar to our traverse of the Chinese Wall- plenty of surprises!

Sounds like it will be a super cool trip 😎 You know there's gold in those mountains so hopefully you guys will find out exactly where its all coming from 😁 Best wishes to you on your trip.
