Gonna start getting hikes in with a loaded pack, anyone have reservations about using their good pack frames for training? I was simply going to strap a 35lb dumbell to my loaded up pack. I know they’re built for that but I dont wanna put undue wear & tear on my straps etc.

I have a cheap vibratory one from Cabela’s, came with media and polish for like $89?? I run it overnight and it works great.

Finally back to running this morning, most aches have finally subsided haha

Thats awesome, pretty bear! Looks plenty big to me, Congrats to you!

Condolences sir.

Well crap...I’ll be on my way home on the 18th. This truly is a speedy trip, I’ll get 1 full day and few hours Friday afternoon/evening.

Yep. Exactly what I’ll be doing. When you travel 1800 miles 1-way and find your roads to be inaccessible, even with a plan B, C & D its a bummer.

Thanks everyone!!! During the sandbag carry on a 60% slope I was just thinking “man i hope this 75lbs on my back turns into an elk quarter in 3 months” 😂

The wife and I will soon (August 16th), be en route to Wyoming for a speedy 3 day sightseeing & camping locations weekend. Maybe I can even get in a few hikes and glassing. Very excited to get shoes on the turf before I make the trip to hunt!!!

2019 Spartan Palmerton in the books, 8 miles, 87 degrees, 3350’ of vertical gain. Was a tough one, back held up well until the bucket brigade about mile 7, was hurting after that but finished strong. 2019 Trifecta complete, Aroo!!

Thanks Marcus! Nice work! Spent 8:30-7 on the garage again today with a lil help from some Motrin and not feeling horrible, 16k + steps up ladders & on concrete.....maybe I’ll make it for Saturday 🙏

Awful back spasm yesterday lifting a plate tamper (as the Kubota sits nearby) so I’m out of commission until further notice. Damn garage addition is eating me up lately. :mad: Supposed to complete my Spartan Trifecta for the year next Saturday, now that’s likely going to be pushed back. Thats...

Not sure what kind of space you have at home or your budget, but I have a very simple yet effective home gym setup with dumbells and free weights for about $1500. Buy once, own forever that way. I can list the equipment if you’re interested.

Good 5 miler in early this morning then worked on building my garage addition til 8:30. Have 29,945 steps in as I type this. Bed time

Upper body giants yesterday Slept in some this morning so just got a quick lil 5k in.

6 mile mix of tempo & long hill climb....damn its humid

10 must be the number for today eh Bill? Haha Makes 35 miles this week counting last Saturday’s Beast...body is feeling it too.

As the post implies, my new set of elk calls from elk101.com arrived today. I will be rifle hunting this October but I figured learning this would help pass some of the 3 months and 29 days I have until I head west. Never having been a turkey hunter or having diaphragm call experience, this is...

6 miles.... 1 mile warm up, 2 miles of speed work, 1.5 mile recovery and ended with a 432ft 1.5 mile climb.

Spartan photos are up. Hope the finish photo doesnt count as a swelfie haha
