My main riding buddy and I have a tradition... when we are suffering up some death-climb, whoever is in the greater aerobic distress, says to the other one: "tell me a story!" as in, you've got spare oxygen, entertain me! He's semi-retired and typically rides more than I do so it's usually me asking for the story...

I was walking across the Florence Bridge today and a Pickup was about 60 or so yards in front of me and his Cap flew off and landed 3 feet in front of me and slid down the railing. That will get your attention let me tell you!

Death climb up an 7 ft step ladder?


Sounds Terrifying Jeff

Did my local route with the pack yesterday.

Did 30 flights of stairs in our house, up and down,with 45 pounds. I think the down hurt worse than the up! Best part is the wife didn't kill me!

Deck of Death

Complete the Deck For Time
Draw cards from a standard 52-card deck plus 2 Jokers. Each card drawn determines which exercise to do and the number of reps.
Suit determines the exercise:
Hearts = Push-Ups
Diamonds = Pullups
Clubs = Air Squats
Spades = Wallking Lunges
Card value determines the number of reps (face cards = 10, Aces = 11)
everything went pretty well, the pull-ups were a little tough- especially when I hit a 9 and two face cards one after the other

Basement weights:


Dmbbell overhead press
Kettlebell curls
Bentover rows
Dumbbell squats

30minute row:

7 mile walk

9 miles last night with my wife and Tiny E to take in the super moon. The super moon stayed hidden in the clouds for most of our hike, but finally presented itself towards the end. We did get plenty of other good views, including a dozen elk about 150 yards right above us.

406 day yesterday, hit it pretty hard with a 30 miler. Got home at 10:30pm the Moon above the Bitterroot River was pretty nice.

4 miles on the trails with my wife and Tiny E; wife said her legs were sore from yesterday evening's hike- I said I know the best thing for them, let's go for a hike

Yup! But I only did and easy 6 miles today. My feet are sore from yesterday. But such a perfect day out today.

4 miles on a gorgeous afternoon with Tiny E; just two more days and we'll be back to 5" of snow on the ground

"Loredo" this afternoon

Six rounds for time (23:30) of:

24 Squats
24 Push-ups
24 Walking lunge steps
Run 400 meters

Today is a rest day. Yesterday went to the hills w/ my growler and did 5 miles and 900' of up. It was 72* in town, got rained snowed and sleeted on while hiking from 5600' to 6500'. Springtime in the Spring Mts. Summer will soon arrive and we really enjoyed the changing scenery, soon it will be months of bright sunshine, very boring.
