headed out right after work, see you next week

I've been hitting the gym for weights. They implemented a mask policy and I can't do cardio with a mask on so it's the wife's peloton for that, and walking hills with the pack on, that's up for today.

The peloton is a pretty good workout, it says I burn 530 calories and go 15 miles in 45 minutes.

Yesterday: Treadmill 45 min easy....15min intervals, not easy....easy weight circuit

Today: 4 rolling hill miles with Merlot...90F, gave Merlot a couple shade breaks to cool down.

Hiked up whitefish Mountain ski area and back down. about 7 miles RT. Picked a bunch of Huckle berries. I bushwacked a few times going down and cliffed out and had to to hike back up lol.

Thighs a bit sore today even though only 2000 elevation gain. Have to start pushing myself more

Sounds like a good workout and huckleberries to boot.

Great berry crop this year . Seeing lots of bear crap in the berries. As soon as temps drop to reasonable level start bear hunting.

When does the season start?

August 30 here in N Idaho. August 15th in WA

5miles today with Merlot in 74F seemed like a vacation compared to yesterdays 4miles at 88F...

Good week at the gym plus a nice bike ride on Friday. Yesterday's hike was 7 miles with 2300+ft climbing with 40lb pack. Tried my stiffer boots and no knee or hip issues. A couple of hot spots but not bad, could've been the socks too.. While the Salomons are nice to hike in, once the weight gets to 40lb the stiffer La Sportiva's seem better. Harder to walk quiet though.

Hiking in 88 humid degrees? That doesn't sound like fun!!

got out yesterday afternoon; have been on a non-stop feeding frenzy that will likely last a few days

a little over 100 miles in 4.5 days, probably 25,000'+ of gain- it was doozy!

will post a few pics after I go through them

a little sampling

today- all I did was eat and lots!

Odd, but that was the first time the heat ever really got to me bad...Drank water, but my legs felt like two lead pipes...Humidity that day was 75...A couple days prior it was just as hot with 85 humidity and I didn't fell as bad....

Chinese Wall????

Chinese Wall ala Bob Marshall Wilderness

oh and 4 miles this morning with Tiny Elvis- surprisingly legs felt pretty damn good
