2.5 hr striding session at Cypress above West Van. The wax gods were smiling and permitted a rare day of extra-blue kick in the land of big trees, big wet-snow, and big klister!!!! This is the second day on snow, first striding.

I hiked to the top of the Moab Rim in 21 minutes this afternoon. It took a little longer getting down.

I knocked off over a minute on today's hike up to the rim. It was quite painful. I think I'm going to start adding weight to my pack and try to keep it under 20 minutes. No pain, no gain.

Good idea, The Larry. It will force adaptation and then if you go back to an unweighted ascent you will do it even faster.
I only did 10 sets of 30 seconds all out sprints with 2 minutes' rest between each one, and it hurt! 2 minutes of rest seems excessive but it was valuable for recovery. The goal was to run the same distance or more each round.

Started my winter routine of riding the bike on rollers in the basement.
Amazing how much longer the minutes at the end of the session are than the ones at the start.

Dec 5th. 10 x 36# kettkebell swings every min. x 30min. Not aerobic? Try it!
Dec 6th. H.I.T. laps on climbing wall and some pull-ups. 20 x 65# deadlifts x 6 sets.
Today I'm leaving 18 degree Truckee to go to 25 degree Reno and Mt bike @ Keystone Canyon. Not
my favorite (rather be nordic skiing today) but it's better than bitchin' about the lack of snow.

Heading out to do 4X4min level 4 intervals at Auburn Ski Club, there is about 1.5k of well groomed skating, it takes a certain zen like attention to get a great nordic workout on 1.5 k without feeling like a hamster in a cage! Mammoth classic race this weekend, has not been cancelled, they are having the racers stride up the Minaret Summit Road, from Main Lodge to Minaret View, bomb back down, turn around and repeat...Still think I might head down there, all trained up and nowhere else to race!
Hey Spike! I want to check out the kettle ball workouts sometime, heard good things... I recently realized I am working in the same circles as Kim, and enjoyed meeting your cool kids the other day at for Goodness Sake!
Lets get out and make some tracks or turns one of these days!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Taking a couple of days off to do some highlining. Although the hike out to it will be aerobic and a lot of weight on my back, so I guess I won't be taking a break.

the Jaybro Moab do it yourself trail half marathon Probably known by other things, with varying details.
A killer run through spectacular scenery, complete with views 'nshit less than two miles on pavement!
This may only make sense to the Larry, but here's the layout. Start at camp lonestar, NW corner Main and central. Go west on Central a block until it deadends. Turn left. Go over the pedestrian bridge, hang a right and run along the trail by the creek till 500 west. Take that to Kane creek road (major construction currently, but there is pedestrian access.) go left, Take a quick right on the steep right on the steep foot trail in about 100 feet. Now you're clear to take the pipeline road (or the more scenic and difficult pipedream trail) some five miles south of town to the hidden valley trailhead. From here take the Hidden valley trail, very steep and slow for the first mile to the top of the scenic red cliffs west of Moab {You've probablly wondered if there was some climbing there.) Take this trail for Aprox three miles where it intersects with the Moab rim OHV road (thas some gnarly sheeit them 4 wheelers do) past any amount of scenery worthy of a national park! After six miles you're down at the Moab rim Trailhead on Kane Creek road! one plus miles of pavement gets you to 500 west where you reverse your earlier steps.
Gaurraunted killer! Jaybro say, Check it out!
Do not get confused at the start of the final downhill where it looks like the trail ends, like I did (ignore the signs and follow 4 wheeler tracks). or you could spend several hours (like I did) and maybe another four or more miles, (like I did) running up sand hill then south then checking out every Aaron Ralston cliffing death fall slot cnyon even when you are within 100 yards of the kane creek road (like I did) before deciding it will get dark and cold soon (it did, maybe 20º as I type this @9pm) and heading back where you should have gone in the first place (like i did).
Cool run, I needed a 20 miler today, anyway....
I tried to post from mile eight, but though emails would go through
I couldn't get the taco...
edit,
Photo from mile 8 "cold as f*#k up here in running shorts"
I'll flip it after my upcoming twelve hour nap....

Ran the Las Vegas 1/2 marathon in 1:41:44 along the strip at night. Not bad considering I only ran two days in a row about twice in the last two months and my longest run was 6 miles, which I did twice. Hiking to climbs didn't seem to give me the same training as actually running. Time to just let the approach hikes be my cardio so yesterday I hiked to Bridge Mountain (about 10 miles). Do any of you older folk (I'm 62) find that your cardio is solid but the big limiting factor is the legs. I was hardly breathing hard during the 1/2 marathon but my legs were like logs near the end.
