Guess you haven't seen our ground squirrels in action. Scared of their shadow but will stand up if you wait long enough. Shotguns are preferred but every now and then you have to boost your heart rate when you find one stupid enough to forget where the hole was.
Oh yeah, who needs a lawnmower when the grass has been dead for a month?

Drink one for me!
I’ve gotta white knuckle myself through one more day of sobriety before the race.
And there’s a brewery right around the corner from the Airbnb...

I just caught a ground squirrel by hand. But it was in my rattlesnakes cage. I should have taken a video.
I took an unplanned full week off- had a great run last week Friday, then helped run a three day swim meet. I spent close to 30 hours over the weekend on my feet and took the week off to catch up on work stuff, home stuff, and honestly just recover a bit.
I got out today, and was pleasantly surprised. This is a weak run compared to some of the animals on here, but for where I am fitness-wise it’s pretty decent all things considered. It was time for a little break anyway and I’m glad I wound up taking it.
One thing to add: drawing a tag is always a nice bit of extra motivation to get up and out of the house.

Ha I know right? I’m not sure that’s real accurate, but it’s obviously pretty flat.
Ironic part is I ran literally right along the biggest “hill” within probably 50 miles (Niagara Escarpment, it’s what makes the Niagara Falls).
I did look at it, but my watch did not record that

No fancy apps or tracking. But I feel stronger than ever. Fencing, setting posts and installing solar wells and stock tanks all week and I can feel the difference. Mostly in that my shoulders don’t get tired from digging post holes and tamping 
Still enjoying the weights and the results coming from adding those to my routine.
I’m also pleased to find there is no end to free at-home workout routines posted on Instagram. Everything from no equipment, kettlebells, dumbbells, resistance bands…you name it, it’s in there. That is super helpful for someone who gets bored easily. I can mix new ones in with my favorites every day and never run out of new things to try.

I just got back from a week in Maui. Ate whatever I wanted and had a few drinks. Gained 3lbs. Now back to work.
Man my whole spring plans went to heck in a hand basket
Started training abt March for this September Elk hunt and the last few Months went nuts complete man power issues with work went through 16 guys in less than 90 days got so far behind in work . I will never understand how 30 yr olds dont want to work any more . I have a small Construction business and was doing 12 hour days 7 days a week
Have things under control much better and started doing a mile 2 times a day on a stiff incline to get back at it, being 60 I dont know if I will be where I want to be for Sept but will hit it as hard as I can till then

Sorry if I intimidated anyone with this post.
Yesterday after I made the post, the race director and her husband (the guy who beat me)(active and influential members of Peoria mtb association) came over to stroke me for my performance and after they’d finished, I was able to have a pretty good discussion with them about back country squirrel hunting and the new trails they’re trying to build in the hunting area at Kickapoo.
I doubt they really listened or cared, but they pretended to.
Hope everyone had a fun and productive weekend!!!
Decided that from now till October I need to smoke my legs two days a week in the weight room. Today I did dead lifts, reverse lunges, and Romanian dead lifts.
Mission accomplished.
Wednesday will be back squats, kettle bell swings, and sumo goblet squats.
