Biggest 2025 goal is my first 100 miler.

Good luck dude! Where at?

With hunting season largely in the rear view for the year at this point, it’s back to the pool. The first few swims are always a bit of a grind getting back into it, but always feel nice after.

I am getting significant pressure to sign up for a masters meet from my daughter. Pretty sure she just wants the opportunity to laugh at me… One of these days I’m going to have to bite the bullet and give it a rip.

I’m stationed down in CA. Race is from Tahoe to Auburn, called the UTMB Canyons 100.

That is an awesome area, sounds like a cool spot for a race.

HARD No

but I guess good luck... may the hallucinations be an enjoyable distraction.

Day 75 of daily workouts, avg 90 mins/day. I’ve lost 19 lbs since August. Did not bring a pack hunting today. Tossed the 70 lb game bag on my shoulder and hiked the mile out like it was nothing.

Plan for ‘25 is maintenance mode. MT spring bear dates are on the calendar, 7-day pack-in. Much more fun when my body is up for the task.

It's holiday season. I do my stretches every morning but other than that I'm gaining weight. The struggle is real.

I've recently cut sugar out of my diet. I've been reducing it for the past year but I've finally got rid of the rest of the lingering stuff over the past two months. Still do homemade bread, homemade pasta, etc., but not too much. Ultra processed food is down to zero. Again, never did much of that stuff but now everything is homemade. No juice or soda. Just water and milk. Adding kombucha to the mix. I just need the starter to show up and I can make my own.

It took a bit to kill the cravings but the end result has been positive. Never been fat, about 170 pounds at 6 feet tall. The weird thing is that my weight stayed the same but waist went from a 32 to a 30. Will lift weights this winter so I don't lose muscle mass. I'm creeping to that age when it can go fast. The big 58 in a month.

Broken lower leg in July led to a lot of Civilization V and healing. PT in September started slow just working on the ankle mobility. After a few sessions, I could tell the mobility was going to come back on its own, but my back, core, hips, and legs were massively unbalanced. And since the ortho PT was only going to focus on the affected area, I needed another option to feel normal again. So I went to this 'athlete' style gym for the last few months. The kind of place where they have you pushing sleds and doing all kinds of weird human tricks, but holy smokes is it effective. My core, balance, and flexibility is better than it probably ever has been.

I don't know what to write down or 2025 yet. Lot of life changes going on and milestones to grow through. Glad to be entering on a good foot though.
