6 miles for Tiny Elvis and I; kind of freak squall near the end- you could see the sun still behind the clouds, but it snowed like the dickens for about 20 minutes

Tiny Elvis and I got 8 crisp miles on the trails this morning, trails are snow packed and icy- spikes a must!

hit the gym this evening

deadlifts 5/5/5
overhead press 5/5/5
lunges 3x30 yds
chinups 3x13

7 miles this morning with Tiny Elvis; we saw a Pileated Woodpecker which is the first one I've seen around, pretty big fella

a nice 4 miles on the trails with my wife and Tiny Elvis; 34 miles for the week and still in the running for completing 2020 for the year

77,998 steps over the past four days looking for elk. Score, Elk- 1, Me-0. Despite no deer, the real winner was me for several days of great strength and aerobic training in the mountains!

Congrats!

well my trail buddy is on the injured reserve list (something in his left shoulder) so going to give him a few days and see how's he doing; sooooo I decided to do something I've done very little this year- run

7 miles on a nice loop with about equal distance of climb, descent and rolling terrain; think I'm going to be a little sore tomorrow, but it actually went much better than I expected

6 miles on the trails with my wife; Tiny Elvis not happy about not going, but it appears he's healing up- probably give it another day or two though

feeling a little energetic this afternoon so.... to the gym


squats 3/3/3+/10 @ 70/80/90/70% of 1RM
bench 3/3/3+/10 @ 70/80/90/70% of 1RM
pullups 3x13

4 chilly miles on the trails, but Tiny Elvis is back in the saddle

good news.

My hiking buddy had a major set back. In rehab the past moth

^ that's too bad

I wouldn't say TE is out of the woods completely yet, going to give him the day off tomorrow and then try again Thursday (barring any limping tomorrow). I have cut out his morning ball throwing regime, probably for a while. Really is no warmup and he sprints as fast he as can, stopping on a dime, turning sharp, etc- not the kind of thing you want to be doing with an injury, but man he loves it!

got a text form my wife today (she worked from home today) and said Tiny Elvis was still favoring a leg, so it's back to square one; going to make an appointment with the vet and he's on light duty until we got this resolved- not going to be a happy camper

gym this evening

a chilly 7 mile run on the trails, mostly in the dark- the days are getting really short!

6 mile run this evening, still might make 2020 miles this year- should be close
