You wish that magnificent bastid in the pics was you. They were facetiming me, word gets around.

Later, Smoke would being going underground to roid up if I posted them here....Combined with his age, he may pop a cork....

5 miles on the trails w/ Tiny E- started about 50 degrees and sunny (but windy), about 15 minutes in- light rain, about 30 minutes in- light snow; got back to the truck (~1.5 hours) the temp had dropped to 35

Did a variation of our logging road loop, 6.2 miles, ~ 1500' ele

strength train this morning; full steam ahead on both deadlifts and overhead press- next week will be a reload week and then the following, more weight added

* I did wear light (climbing) gloves to the gym today- actually helps a little with bar grip, but not the reason I wore gloves!

deadlifts 5/3/1+/10 @ 75/85/95/70% of 1RM

overhead press 5/3/1+/10 @ 75/85/95/70% of 1RM

lunges 3x30

chinups 3x13

core

Wuss. Scared of some little virus?! Sheesh.

(I think that was smart)

I'll probably stick with the gloves for a little bit

7 mile loop with Tiny Elvis- 3" of fresh snow and evidently, more on the way

So how do you put on and take off the gloves? Is it a public gym? Well the reality is you are breathing the air in there everyone else is.

a public gym, but never very crowded- I just wore the gloves the whole time, in and out- light climbing gloves

Well I already expressed my thunks on even going in a gym right now, so yeah, glad you are taking at least some precautions.

Mountain bike ride with my buddy, nothing crazy but got a solid workout in up on the good ol' logging roads of the CR.

Yes I realize you wore the gloves the whole time. But you have to touch them to put them on and take them off. My point is not the gloves so much as you are all breathing the same air in the gym. Gloves are not helping that. Anyways you are a healthy guy I doubt highly you need to worry.

a nice 6 mile out and back for Tiny E and I, good climb both ways- went earlier to beat the winter storm bearing down on us- calling for 8-10" of snow in the valley, which is fine, but also calling for below 0 temps tonight- not as fine

Elliptical: 15minutes
Heavy Bag: 3x3minutes
Bench Press: 4x10
HexBar Deadlifts: 4x10
Seated overhead press: 4x10
Front Barbell raises: 4x10
Ball Slams: 20lbs 4x23

we got up to a balmy 5 degrees (and add 10-20 mph winds and snow to that), so went to the gym

Half "Murph"

1/2 mile run
150 air squats
100 pushups
50 pullups
1/2 mile run

Another week of 6 day workouts in but going to have to do what I can at home for the next few weeks, Y is closed due to virus.

still too cold for hitting the trails (but tomorrow we should be close to freezing), so hit the gym- it's my deload week, so:

squats 3x5 @ 75% of 1RM
bench 3x5 @ 75% of 1RM
pullups 3x10
dips 3x30
core

Two hours with the pack today, felt good.

Walked a few miles late today, kept it short b/c Cyn is battling some kind of crud...... also 15 hrs shop work this weekend with the heavy parts. Nice, clean, sterile METAL, man. Never looked so good!

Cyn is feeling notably better today (whew!), just walked 5 flat miles, headed out to the shop again.

4 miles on the trails w/ Tiny Elvis- the mud has been replaced with 8" of snow
