I use a pulp hook and find it Far better than lifting with bare hands

You a beast, son. Any interest in that ultra book I mentioned above?

I use the “Libby” app to get books from our local library. They have that book listed…
Better than spending $28

Love the TH. Mahalo Pat!

Last night after work I did 11 miles at 7 minute pace…. 1:17 Kinda smashed me but I loved it.
Already craving another one….

I’ve been slacking for most of March. I don’t know what’s going on but I can’t get motivated. Seasonal depression maybe or getting burnt out from work maybe. Don’t know but I’m forcing myself to do it now. Started yesterday and calling the cold plunge and my group of 100’s nonnegotiable. I don’t care if I’m late to work, it will be done

From my armchair I'd guess if you're 'slacking' its because you and your body, deep down inside, know that slacking is exactly what is currently best for you and you and your cause.

@Bodean I'm going to sign up for a 50k in Maine in September, it's on trails and it's apparently steep. I'd be very surprised if I finished it but I'm psyched to be involved with an ultra and to see how far I make it, likely mostly my hiking/walking. The 25 mile cutoff is at 9 hrs. The farthest I've ever gone walking is 19 miles on a sidewalk and 21 miles in soft beach sand. The Ultra book mentioned above is superb motivation for me as it is all about the ridiculous highs and lows of ultra.

M and I once were "forced" to retreat from a pretty cold and wet late summer snowstorm in the Idaho Sawtooth backcountry...on one of our long backpacking trips. That was 18 miles, full backpacks, snow/sleet/rain. Fording a swollen icy Queens River waist deep five times...the last carrying a 55 pound dog under one arm.

Closest thing to an Ultra I have done. I'd not be able to do it these days ..hat's off to you @cory, that is a great objective.

Sounds rad, B. And like type 2 fun, if at all!

As one grows older, thine ego shrinks a lot it seems to me. So if I finish it will be a thrill but to give it a try and see what happens is the main interest.
