HTer Goals '25 Edition

[WVmike]

Anyone doing MntTough and tried the January challenge the 770? Not 1 single thing fun about that one. 1hr 24min for me and had to basically crawl down the stairs from the gym after it.

I'll have to check that one out.

Have looked at the mountain tough site and I am no where near ready for that. 20 years of neglect and any mile stone for me is a victory. I just did my first mile total on the elliptical in under 20 minutes. Broke it into 2 sessions with body weight resistance exercise in between. Get out there and get after it as there is only 7 months til Antelope in Nevada (If I draw a tag), 11 months til Idaho deer (I have that tag already) and a whole lot of wishin for a couple more tags.

You have to start somewhere. At least you are starting out doing something. I tell my son who is 10 and he doesn't want to do something in his words as "hard". Break it down to one thing at a time. One rep, one movement, etc. You can't eat an elephant all in one bite. I've been doing mtn tough for about a year or so I was in good shape to start but I feel as good as I ever have in regards to physical fitness and mental fitness. I've packed a few pounds on since starting it, but when you do weighted stepups along with over 100 walking lunges, hiking with weight, you are bound to gain some muscle. I can still wear my clothes from high school, the scale just bumped up some.

My big goal is making it to 2026. Anything more is gravy, but along the way, I hope to actually move our permanent residence a few hundred miles due north. We have our work cut out for us.

January was a good start. I won't duplicate this year but good out of the gate. "Red" numbers are what I exceeded from '24 goals. I got a little carried away on pushups at the end of the month (mental issues).

Just finished week 2 of mountain tough body weight on ramp 2.0. Been mixing in, on the off days, 20 min on the treadmill at 3 mph and a 5 to 7 incline for 20min followed by 10 miles on the stationary bike in 23 to 24 min and finish with a mile walk on the flat track. If I can keep my nose out of the feed bag I'll make more progress.

Lucky guy.
