Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting 2020 Fitness-Workout thread

I'm bringing my wife. Actually it was her idea, her mom was from Scotland and she's always wanted to make the trip. This year we're doing it, finally.

I'll just have to humor her. And do a little fishing and whiskey sampling.

Lucky you!!!
Take some pics and post them up. Should be a great trip. You run into any O’Neills, another story for another time, tell them I said hi.

smoke- sounds like a great trip! the only way it would be better is if you were going to Ireland

5 miles on the trails with Tiny E; am now packing for take 2 of my backcountry ski trip that got kiboshed two weeks ago when I got sick

Hiked 6.2 miles, the usual basic loop we do with about 1400 ft vertical gain.

Rode my "climb route" for the first time in a while! My buddy hates a short section of highway you have to ride to get to it from my house, and he's right, so we barged the bikes a couple miles across the flats then rode from there. So it shortened the mileage to 23+ but total climbing stayed the same at almost 2400'.

Got back at it this week - 3x 60min endurance rides, 2x yoga, 5x stretching and pushups

20 miles of some tough skiing, but a great trip still!

1:45 with the pack today. No IPAs until just now.

Thursday night dinner at the cabin- top left, well worth a couple of lbs in the pack

Looks good!

Hit the gym yesterday. First time in almost a year. Squats, Bench, Power Cleans = slightly sore but kept weight low so I can hit it again this week.

^ good deal

in my experience, slightly sore the day after usually means very sore the day after that

yep the second day is always worse, especially when we age
