I'm too old for this crap anyway, but I try to pump some iron a few times a week to maintain strength. Watching some trainers, I see a lot of seemingly knowledgeable guys say too many reps is bad, bad, bad. What are your goals, and how do those high reps help you?

Did the Bataan Memorial Marathon Sunday. Civilian -Heavy....rucked a 39 lb (they weighed it) pack for 26.2 scenic miles through the New Mexico mountains. Came in 82nd, my buddy was 9th overall - he seriously tore that thing up. Hardest race I've ever been in, nothing even comes close. Beautiful...

I just can't imagine this being a true statement.

Did a short run n gun course on Saturday - 2.3 miles of trail/jungle complete with greenbriar, blackberry - like an idiot I ran it in sandals and shorts. Legs look like hamburger, came in third. Did 19 harsh miles with 35# pack yesterday. I am so done with this pack BS.

Ran a half marathon yesterday. No pack, felt great.

Did 16 miles with 30# pack on Sunday. I was still wiped out yesterday....less than 4 weeks til Bataan.

I just found out the Bataan Death March next month has over three times the elevation change than I thought it did....I didn't notice the map was in meters, not feet. Who the hell draws a map in meters? Ran 7 yesterday, ran 2.15 a while ago. Bring on the suck!

12.5 miles with loaded pack yesterday...added two miles and a couple pounds. Ugh.

A buddy talked me in to doing the Bataan Death Mach Marathon in March. I started training specifically for it yesterday. 10.25 ugly hills with a bunch of canned goods in my ALICE pack....I'm feeling it. Plan is up the long run by two miles/two pounds each week until race. I'm signed up as...

I don't understand the hate for AKs. It's a proven design, even if some hipster American companies are able to assemble a non-functioning version. It's really kind of nuts. I watched a show probably 15 years ago, some village in Pakistan or somewhere, these guys were making receivers by hand -...

Man....they need to add a column for us 98K guys.

That sounds nice, but there's a reason there were quotas and requirements for entrance. Open borders result in the what you see in Europe today. In spite of popular opinion, it's OK to want to preserve your culture, and hang on to the society our predecessors gave us. It is not mean, hateful...

Agree about Trump - disagree about the wall. The wall may or may not be the most effective deterrent. (the elimination of ability to work, go to school, obtain DL would have a bigger effect, IMHO) But the wall is symbolic. If we are to determine our country's, our culture future - it doesn't...

They did that here a few years back.

And moving our embassy to Jerusalem was the nod to evangelicals, getting a twofer by bowing to the puppet masters. I wish he was so easily swayed into our camp.

MAGA, bitches. NRA and Trump!

Ran the USMC Marathon Sunday. 30K runners is way too many, but it was quite a thing to experience. My son did something bad to his foot at mile 7, limped to mile 16 and finally tossed in the towel. I finshed at 4:05, was shooting for 4:00,my Runkeeper was jacked and told me I was going at the...

I've had both rotator cuffs reground and repaired. I'm all about staying fit, but I don't care to go through that again. I'll let the young guys do the heavy lifting.

1776 - your posts make my shoulders hurt. I ran a fast 2.2 at lunch....same yesterday. Ran 14 Sunday, a buttload of miles the week before that, longest run was 22 miles. Marathon is Sunday morning. When I get this mofo done I'm coming back to Oklahoma and sitting in my Tree Lounge with a...

8 miles yesterday. Was on vacation last week, got in a 4 mile run, then Saturday morning I thought I'd do some trail running. Y'all been to West Virginia? They got mountains there....kicked my butt.
