well that isn't good do you use a roller for your calves? when I first started running, I was having achilles issues and soon learned that tight calves are often the culprit, started using a foam roller on my calves (it's not a pleasant endeavor) and haven't had achille issues since (knock on wood!) also found out that ibuprofen isn't all that effective with tendons I finally got my Kimber Hunter (.308) setup and dialed in, so using it- very svelte at 5.5 lbs (w/ rings and scope :)) hit the gym this morning squats 3/3/3+/10 @ 70/80/90/70% of 1RM bench 3/3/3+/10 @ 70/80/90/70% of 1RM pullups 3x11 dips 3x30 core

I've only used a roller on my IT bands. This particular Achilles issue is an injury; I was crossing a creek and thought I'd get cute and put the edge of my left boot on a little ledge of a boulder... "just like rock climbing when I was young!".... as I was attempting the step across the boot slipped and I landed hard on my left foot in the creek. Didn't hurt at the time but as the day progressed it got worse. I hiked about 4 miles in it afterwards that day which was probably not wise but, y'know, it's ELK season! I stretched the whole leg, my whole body actually, aggressively last night and at least got the rest of the leg functioning correctly again. Everything was going to poop from limping on it. I think I need to acknowledge that I've crossed a body threshold and start acting accordingly. A LOT more proactive stretching and to your point, rolling, and then I just need to be smarter out in the field. This is now officially a pattern, starting with IT pain on a mulie backpack hunt, then the PF issue, then the thing on the back of my knee, now this. It's my karma for saying I'd never met a hike I couldn't do. True when I said it... now maybe not so much. I pissed off the hiking gods. D'oh.

Haha maybe! ^^ I did drag this guy out of the woods yesterday, Achilles notwithstanding.... It was more an assassination than a hunt, but I did make a nifty shot. That's my reworked .358.... I'll be sticking with the 200 NAB too, liking what I saw on this buck plus the one I "spined" a few weeks ago.

Tiny Elvis is a stud. It's too bad his owner doesn't take him out more though.

well now you made me feel guilty 6 miles with Tiny E, scouting an area that encompasses a popular trail close to town (less popular now through early spring however) and that I frequently see elk sign. Saw enough sign I'm going to give it a whirl in the morning.

Mtwarden. Are you an actual warden. We have a game warden here that would pass for your brother. Nothing bad meant. He is a good guy.

Do you work with Bart Smith?
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.
