Got in a quick hike before coming in to the office, got a little over an hour in on some steep trails, and the UA map my hike seems to be spot on.

4 mile recovery walk with Tiny Elvis




oh and there was that little 100 mile jaunt across the Bob Marshall

5 mile loop with Tiny E, legs are slowly, but surely getting back to normal

The heat is kicking my azz as usual at this time of year. 108* in town 86* in the shade at 7600'. My annual acclimation seems tougher every year. Did 7 miles yesterday up and back on a decent FS road W/ 1600' of elevation gain w/ 24 lbs in my pack. Dumped 16 lbs of water ballast at the top and gimped/shuffled back to the truck. It was ugly, I am going to try it in the earlier hours if I can get to sleep before midnight. I hate summer

I'm a summer hater too, but our summers would probably feel good to you

Hiked 4.5 miles yesterday with a 40 pound pack before spending the afternoon replacing the shocks and struts on my F150. Can I count that as a workout? LOL

only if you replace mine on my Tacoma

Depending on what kind of wrenches you used, it could count but only as an upper body workout.

That'll be a hard no, was a good reminder of why I chose a different career path after I retired from the Army!

I started out with manual tools, and then remembered that I have perfectly good air tools in the garage!

5 mile loop with Tiny E, good month with 214 miles

I have noticed that if I do a variable pace run (like a Fartlek) that the app doesn’t keep up as well and the mile markers happen a little farther along a route than a steady pace run. Other than that though I really like it.

I used the under armor app 4 times last week. It appears to have lost track of me for 2-5 minutes on 3 of those, which is a little disappointing. Overall though, not a big deal.

I had to sign up for an account, which annoyed me, so I put my name as F#$% You. That got several laughs from me later, when the app showed me personalized messages.

"F#$%, you just ran 4 miles!", "F#$%, you just completed your first activity"

Also, not sure why but it shows elevation gain as 0 for everything I've done. Which is true in a net sense, but that's not normally how that gets reported. I don't know if that's a bug or if they want me to pay for that feature or what.

5 miles on the trails with Tiny E; might actually hit the gym tomorrow- it's back open

Another 4.5 mile run today, 600 feet of elevation.

I didn't do $hit today; went to the gym that I have to drive by daily- there hasn't been more than 2-3 cars the last two weeks, today I decide to go- f^ck#@ng park lot is full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you might have earned a day off.

I'm in a little better mood now Just frustrating getting psyched to get back to the gym and finally decide on a day and it's a no go, BUT I have today off so will hit the gym and hit the trails
