MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted June 21, 2017 Monday made my 3.2 mile loop at 5pm ouch, one bottle of water for my head and one for my mouth. Started with my shirt wet and a cool neck gator. Today swam 30 min then hit white tanks for mesquite canyon with the pack on, had to turn around early this trip, just too hot in the sun. Tomorrow morning headed for the high country for a hike in fly fishing trip. Hard work is paying off with loose pants. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Healy Arms Report post Posted June 26, 2017 Well... I unapologetically took 12 days off from the workout routine. My buddies all checked out for vacations and I just checked out - slept in every day. Went back to it 3 days ago this past Friday and surprisingly didn't notice much a loss of cardio. Went back Saturday for an incline hike at a gym and then hiked South Mountain on Sunday afternoon/evening (it was hot but not humid - not bad hiking weather really and the park was 99% empty). I'll get back to lifting tomorrow. Archery Elk is 12 weeks out - I don't have a tag for that but I have an invite. Don't need to be slackin' now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This post is a reminder - I need to swim more. Laps are killer cardio and it works everything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Healy Arms Report post Posted July 12, 2017 cardio-a-holic this past 2 weeks - miles, elevation, trails, stairs. For whatever reason that's what's motivating. For now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted July 12, 2017 Man I was on the same kick this week. Pretty much just ran, Super rough day Sunday, got in the truck after work and did the tired sore don't want to stop deal, actually drove past the turn to the white tanks and was reserved to going home. Had to argue for a minute but managed to backtrack and hit the hills for a run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojangles Report post Posted August 2, 2017 rode my bike from Carrizozo to Ruidoso. It was an uphill battle. beautiful country up there. it's caught my eye, and with arizona getting so crowded now days, new mexico is looking pretty good. i wonder if i could make a living over there. we saw tons of muleys, elk, and antelope on the trip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted August 8, 2017 Good week for me, managed to work the mules as well as my self , Monday ran my new loop with hill at white tanks, Tuesday Wednesday Thursday ran hills and elk trails up north. Good swim bike run Friday and topped it off Sunday with good run in the white tanks again. Monday was 9 hour sleep day and now headed back to the tanks for a run before dinner out. Hope I can repeat last week, headed for Prescott tomorrow for some steep climbs with weight before dinner with family. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted October 22, 2017 Tis the season in az for workouts !!!! How is it going keeping up on fitness? Making some big moves with my plan lately, more run miles and dropping some carbs over the next few weeks. Big changes, I dropped down to black coffe only no add ins. Dropped the whiskey over a month back (ouch) Dropped as much sugar as possible Goal is to lean out, drop some fat and add some muscle over the next few months. big goal is to do push ups, sit ups, pull ups, power cleans, and run every day but Saturday and Sunday and slowly add in bike miles. Still swimming one day a week as well. Biggest goal (or mistake !!!!) is signed up for 60k trail race. Goal time is 6 hours flat Plan is scheduled out by day until mid February , if I can hit my marks its all mental from there. Hope I make it and hope everyone hits there marks as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
