You are really enjoying it out there, aren't you. How are the knees liking the hiking on those trails?

Walking on flatland is no problem... (Its all calf-work)

Its the steeps that aggravate them a little.

Let me take that further...
Steep inclines with a loaded pack.

[BigDyl]

Are you on a progressive deloading phase lately?

 

[The Monkey Man]

Are you on a progressive deloading phase lately?

If that means, have I been mastubating more often?.... Then, YES! -

 

[The Monkey Man]

Here is the one 1st pic I took at the trailhead of
Brins Mesa in Sedona over the memorial weekend

I left the flashmem at home and one pic topped out the
cameras internal mem

HIKING

Ran the Corona De Loma trail @ South mountain
from the trailhead at Warpaint to the first
overlook...

2.8 miles, one-way to the top... (where I stppped)
Total elevation increase 960ft...
About 01:45hr up and 00:42min down

I taped my feet to try and avoid blistering
as this is sort of an aggressive climb toward the peak...

This was a bad idea... I now have what feels like bruising
under my arches, I think caused by the thickness of the tape
-

Oh well, it was good training... I was burned 3/4 of the way up the steep
to the peak... Had to stop and catch my breath several times... (good stuff)

Pack was probably about 50 lbs
It was heavy but my legs felt strong, just the feet were weak today...

If you see a big hairy thing that walks on two legs and follows you through the forrest... that's me.

No forest on South Mountain... Only Cacti - (uh-duh!)

 

[The Monkey Man]

No gym today -

Took my bag w/me to work, but after walking
several miles in my dress shoes, my feet were burning
If I could train in slippers that would be nice -

 

[The Monkey Man]

I don't want to go to the gym -

 

[P-funk]

I don't want to go to the gym -

por que?

 

[The Monkey Man]

I just don't want to train anymore -

I have zero motivation

 

[Devlin]

Well if you weren't so damn far away I would offer to provide some motivation

 

[The Monkey Man]

Well if you weren't so damn far away I would offer to provide some motivation

Thank you honey -

 

[BigDyl]

Thank you honey -

I can also give you some motivation.

 

[The Monkey Man]

I need a week or two more to adjust to my work schedule
and then I will be fine -

Maybe I need another week off? -

 

[P-funk]

I just don't want to train anymore -

I have zero motivation

a) sounds like overtraining

b) change the focus of your training and train for somethig different

 

[shiznit2169]

How's this for motivation? Post both pictures in your room and get your ass back in the gym if you want lady #2

Man who does not train gets this



Man who trains gets this



Your choice

After looking this girl over further...
I have decided that I would 'LET' her be my squeeze...
But we would have to get her some new shoes,
wash the crap off her face and hair,
and give her a makeover (hair - clothes)

she has the right stuff though (bod/workout) -



This is all under the condition that she can handle
"NOT" acting or looking like a stripper -

Different approach trail = 2.6 mile one way
Up = 54min... 15-20 faster than last week!
