Legs and joints have been killing me for the last week and a half on runs so today I hit the gym for some start of burning this out. One easy and six at 5:40.

Yesterday's quick treadmill miles helped loosen me up a bit. My knee felt much better today. I pushed it again today trying to hit 6:30 for a 10 mile tempo and it felt good to be out running again instead of jogging. One mile easy cooldown.

One of the interesting combinations of being a runner and a commercial pilot is the EKG. Once you hit 40 you have to do one every year. Problem is, the FAA defines any resting heart rate under 50 as Bradycardia, too low a heart rate. Any normal doc would just ask you if you were a runner but the FAA can't take anything outside normal. Further, if it is under 40 the EKG machine itself adds a warning. I'm pretty out of shape right now but my HR still holds about 40. For the last four years the doc and I have a solution that works pretty good. I run around the block twice and we slap the leads on quick. This morning they kept falling off after we did it and we were both laughing, trying to get the stupid test done.

Diddly squat. Hiking and mapping out cabin spots for summer sites. Big bull moose has come down from the trees each night.

Stuart Peak trail run, 8,700 feet. Two moose, one coyote, seven deer, three elk, two snakes, one eagle, and a skunk family. These mountains are full of more life than I have seen trail running anywhere in the world.

Kids rode four wheelers all day and shot guns with our friends.

Both kids can shoot dang close to as good as I can now.
