We were in Hawaii last week. With travel and jet lag and catching up at work, we missed 2 weeks of working out. Been back at it the last few days doing MtnTough 45/70 mixed in with our other strength and mobility work. I don't feel like we lost anything by missing 2 weeks.
Starting next week, we're gonna go back to MtnTough Heavy Pack 2.0 and do it every day 5 days/week, as designed. We'll add a little weight to our packs this go round, and we'll finish the 4 week program the week before we leave for our elk hunt. We'll continue to do some recovery workouts a few days early in the week before we leave on Friday the 16th and start hunting on the 17th. I don't want to push too hard that week though. Don't want to be sore to start the hunt. Week 4 of HP20 will have us a little sore and stiff, so we'll flush it out for a few days before the hunt.
Kauai with our kids was awesome.

Rode the stationary bike for 15 mins last night. PT found a really tense and tight spot in my calf they are working on. The doctor said no surgery but said I should never run again. Do biking and swimming lower impact things. PT said they would work we me on getting back to light runs but nothing like I used to do. Been a week of adjusting my mind set

I'm still behind on my pack training hikes, but only because I have been busting my butt cutting dead trees, hauling brush, and burning same. At the end of the day I feel like I have been beat up and put away wet. But, with a good nights sleep I am mostly recovered and ready to do it all over again. Only 20 days or so before the westward migration.

Running makes my knees hurt too. I bought an Echo bike, and I stand up as I pedal on that. The arm action combined with standing pedaling is pretty similar to running without the impact. Doesn't hurt my knees at all.
After my scouting trip I twisted my ankle. So my workouts have been all about recovery, ice, elevation and rest. The only time it hurts is when I wake up, gym may happen tomorrow for upper body. We will see.
worst case I hit the bike tomorrow for a slow ride just to test it.

This hasn’t been bad, just had to be smart, take a couple weeks off and heal up. Swelling is about 95% gone, bruising as well, only stiff in the morning so I think I won this round.
I broke My other ankle in HS so I had a pretty good gauge for what I did. This was much less, just older now.
