I did four miles up and down Emerald Mountain in Steamboat. Got slowed down on the way down when I rounded a corner and saw a little moose calf (this year's) standing about 40 yards ahead of me. Didn't see the cow right away, but knew she was close by and that was cause for a pucker factor of about 7.5. Made a little detour to give the calf some space, got around it, looked back up the trail and there was momma, watching me as I put some distance between us. That was the youngest calf I've ever seen, cute little bugger. But not a good situation to be that close. I had a really [bleep] deal the other day while out for a walk in town. Got charged by a moose (cow) and managed to dodge her, and she went back in the woods. Kept walking down the road (opposite side of the road from where the moose had gone), and she came back out with a much more serious interest in stomping me. I did everything I could to evade, but I had no where to go and nothing to get between me and her. I ended up shooting her, while running, and from maybe 6 feet. That stopped her but didn't kill her. I got to where I was safe and called the cops. No idea what happened to her, or what the deal was. Never saw a calf, but can't think of another reason for that sort of behavior. Damn, that sucks. Did the hike to upper Fish reek falls. Four miles round trip, 1,500 foot climb. No moose sighted.

Gyms re-opened here yesterday. DId a mix of upper body and lower body. Pleasantly suyrprised that there was not much of a drop-off from the time the gyms were closed.

Good on you! that wasn't my experience unfortunately- I've had to back off about 20-25% of what I was lifting before our closure; chin/pull-ups, dips, lunges are fine, but all of my basic lifts are off the good news is I'm pretty sure in a couple of months they'll be pretty close to what they were

Cleaned up the road bike Saturday, swapped trainer tire for road tire, and went for a short ride Sunday. First road ride in over 2 years. Only 13 miles with some good hills. HR stayed lower than I expected but, man, I was breathing hard for most of the ride. Not as sore today as I thought I'd be.

Got a little knee pain, so have been backing off on the running a bit. I also dusted off the road bike and got in 17 miles and 1900 feet of elevation yesterday.
Saddle sore today, but I bet if I did that 4X/week I'd be ready for sheep season.
Finally found a cheap barbell so doing some lifting for weaklings.
