I'm getting into ski mountaineering this winter. Definitely faster than walking down, and only about ten pounds of extra gear.
 
Went to the gym yesterday. Not my normal gym. We hit up 24. So it was kinda a free for all. Was fun actually since I started there way back when and then starting going to my gym. To see the progression in strength when doing some of my old go to machines was fun.

Bench press 95lbs
Leg press 165lbs
Back squat 135lbs
Lat pull 100lbs
Low row pull 100lbs

I have also always been weirdly intimidated by the dip/pull up assist machine.. I decided to do that one last after doing all of my other exercises. I managed to get one chin up using just 45 pounds. Still super close to getting one strict up. Just gotta keep working

Then today was all quads and butt. My legs are already like jello lol

+1 on splitting wood.

When I lived in New England, enjoyed a couple hours of splitting wood, there is something cathartic about it.
 
^ It scratches every cave-man itch I have and it is the thing I miss most about living in New Mexico. Timely too, Thanksgiving was the holiday that my moms folks would have everyone over to split the tri axle of oak for the winter. Buck, Split, Stack, eat thanksgiving dinner. Perfect.



Swam in a pool for the firs time in a while last night. ~2000 yards. I got a little board and stopped counting laps and just went for it towards the end.

I wish I had your guys' discipline for food choices. But im not really trying to lose weight anymore. so eh...

also @lizard :wow looking good!!!
 
Just started a structured training plan for Denali. 24 weeks as of yesterday. First day was an aerobic threshold test, treadmill set at 15% incline and a pace I thought I could hold for an hour. HR started at 157 and steadily increased to 170 over an hour, which was just about as expected. A year ago I would have gone anaerobic at anything sustained over 145bpm, so this is good progress, but I've got a lot of work ahead of me...

Okay the data on the graph is confusing me. The total workout says you went almost 6 miles in one hour. If you can do a 6MPH pace at 15 degrees of incline I am seriously impressed that is hard pace. But on the left side it says .48miles. Was it including elevation in your total distance traveled.

Is that Data from your watch Nick?

Yes. The watch is a Garmin, and the app pulls data from Garmins site as soon as the workout uploads.

The treadmill was set at 3.5mph, the watch recorded more because the incline results in shorter strides and obviously GPS does nothing indoor. The .48 distance is where that vertical line is, about six minutes in where my HR stabilized.
 
My work out for the day. 4 collective hours of shoveling 18-22in worth of snow.

Still pretty impressive. I do a 3.3MPH pace on the treadmill at I think a 10% incline for about 35 or 40 minutes on the days I am not doing running intervals.

I love the mountain pictures that makes me wish for elevation around here. The highest point of land is either mine or my neighbor's house pad that we had to build to get to the federally mandated flood level height to keep flood insurance to a reasonable rate. I think mine is about 7ft above orginal dirt level thinkmy neighbors is maybe 7 or 9 feet.If the water ever gets that high everything south of me will be a lake....

Skipped gym last night because Monday evening tweaked my knee on the treadmill so I didn't want to chance it so instead of skipping Wednesday I will be hitting the gym tonight. For chest and tricep day.

Kids are talking basketball game on thanksgiving day should be fun and will work off some of the turkey day calories.

I really miss our neighborhood football games we used to have on Thanksgiving. We would get the whole block to play and would wind up with about 10 to 20 peeps all looking to smash each other into the ground. Good times.....
