^ for 2020; I've got a goal of 2020 miles- I think (God willing) I'll be pretty close
I've got a three backpacking trips planned that are all in the 100 mile range and with our five week elk season I rack up quite a few miles as well, so if I can keep my "normal" weeks in the 30-35 mile range it's doable

That is fantastic, I am humbled. I can do 100 mile months, but after a few months my left knee gets unhappy. My body feels happy with somewhere around 70 miles a month and 10,000 feet elevation or so. I like to focus as much on the eleveation as distance, as most elk hunting requires both.

definitely want to pay attention to what your body is communicating, sounds like you are yes- have to have ascent/descent in one's workout if getting around in the mountains is your goal; fortunate here as even my shortest workouts have at least a couple of hundred feet of gain/descent

Last night done 1.55 miles on treadmill at 5.5% incline and 3.5 mph, heartrate 118-122 range, felt really nice, still like smokepoles opinion of getting a good workout without having to run, have roughly 10 more degrees of elevation on the machine, and can walk a bit over 4.5 mph without having to break into a trot, so plenty of room left for max cardio.
Went to old church lady's place and push mowed her grass today, Wife mowed it for her once when I couldn't make it, she has some sort of app" on her phone, it's 3.8 miles total to cut the grass, I ate a can of mixed nuts and drank two 20 ounce coke zeros on the way over, [I know, coke zero is the devil ; ]] had the older lady put my gallon of water in her freezer while I mowed, I drank on it and ate the two bananas I brought with me on the trip home, whewww, what a good HOT workout today.

Had a two week follow up Doc appointment yesterday morning before going to cut grass, was happy to see I've lost 11 pounds in two weeks, 260 down to 248 and change, light exercise and clean nutrition is a hell of a nice thing. For the last two weeks I've about lived on steel cut oats with a teaspoon of cinnamon and scoop or two of Rule 1 whey protein for breakfast, and either outside grilled or inside George Foreman grilled venison patties and piles of homemade coleslaw from Wife's garden, this isn't tough at all!

I understand.👍 Long ago in a far away time my Mother and Stepfather lived part time in Chandler, Ariz.-you could easily miss the town back then, doubt it is the same now-but had to be there sometimes in the summer. I would go visit and was hooked on running, so out I went. Yes, few know hot like Arizona hot in July.
