You are on the right path then!

You two need to come to the Burg and have a Mineos pizza or Primanti sandwich....You can run a marathon on either....your choice of protein combos on both and you can run them thru the garden, if extra veges are your thing....

Im not sure if Smoke can handle a Mineos without going into testosterone rage....

well now I'm really hungry!

You wouldn’t leave the same. 😀👍

told you I was hungry

Well ahhh, yes you did!!!!

Weight/cardio sequence: 23minutes: 10x55lb Correction to dumbbell squats into 10 pushups into 10x50pound overhead barbell press, Rest 1minute and repeat x 10.
Flat spots on chart are when the watch doesn't record for some reason.




Treadmill hill intervals: 20minutes

Yeah nothing like feeling like, or rather flat out EXPERIENCING, that you can't breathe. I had a couple episodes that were kinda scary actually. It was legit to panic a bit............ which only makes it worse. Fun times.

In celebration of the permit, pulled off a 6.3 mile hike w/ 1150' vert this evening. Got back to the car just at dusk. Only took Chloe- we have retired Nicky (aka the Albino Wolf) from trail duty on vet's orders, due to him loosing control of his hindquarters a bit from old age. I'm like, I lose control of my hindquarters a bit! Sheesh. Retire a guy for that?! But it's time. Bummer. He was a super athletic little dude his prime.

Usually the light is all wrong for a pic but not bad today. The coast range literally goes north to Canada (and keeps going) and south to somewhere in California.... From Oregon north through Washington is basically a, I dunno, 30 to 60 mile wide strip of virtually uninhabited timberland. Usually BLM checkerboarded with private timber company. Goes on as far as the eye can see obviously.

Carb loading at its finest

You guys knock it off!! Reminds me of the pizza joint we stop at after every elk hunt. They have a pizza with about six kinds of meat on it, including bacon.

I'm bache'ing it for a week while my wife is away, so it's anything goes now

8 mile loop with Tiny E, about a 1000' gain- still can't push the pace much, but it'll come back soon

Why am I in the mood for pizza?

Anyway, 1.5hour woods walk with Merlot. I took it slow, however Merlot has been cooped up for a few days and ripped it for the most part.



He/she thought thought it was hiding, but if you took a line off Merlots nose that wasn't the case. Turned out there were four.
And some wonder way some of us prefer low power scopes. Around 30 yards....

I agree.... I can see why a 30-30 is issued to kids at birth in PA!

The form factor was a bit much in the end, but in every other way the 1.8-5.5x Conquest I had on my .358 M7 was perfecto. Many deer killed closer than 30.... before that was a Leup 2.5-8 that lived on 2.5.

The guy I sold the Conquest to was putting it on a slug gun. I bet he loved it on that.

I did a few miles with the pack in the snow yesterday. I had forgotten how much it sucks to walk through heavy wet snow with a pack and also, how much packed trails suck without spikes. Gave the legs a good workout though.

a nice snowshoe outing yesterday with Tiny Elvis in the Elkhorn Mountains, nine miles and close to 2000' of gain- was able to push the pace a bit today, felt good

to the gym this morning

squats & bench 5/5/5 @ 75% of 1RM with a 2 second pause at the bottom- what a difference that makes!!!!!
pullups 3x12
dips 3x30
core

I need to start posting here again.

This morning was rushed so only the following:
Circuit - no rest between exercises, 1 min rest between rounds - several warm up rounds then 3 working rounds with real weight:

Hang Cleans - 5x
Land Mine Squats - 10x
DB Bench - 10x
DB Row - 10x
Rev Hypers - 12x

6 miles on the trails w/ Tiny E this afternoon; we got caught in quite a sudden squall- luckily short lived!

Dude, you're making my knees hurt, please stop.....

just trying to catch up to you guys!

Hiked 7+ miles (forgot to start Strava) @ approx 1500' ele gain
