Ok down 16 lbs now...WashingtonMuley, that definitely looks like a cool run, my buddies at work and I were looking at doing one of those runs. 
Let me know if you guys decide to go or not and maybe we could meet up.

Just got back from Hawaii.  PathfinderJR and I did an 8 mile hike from the hotel up to Diamond Head. Good excercise, but next time he's carrying the backpack... ;)

Just started getting back in shape a couple weeks ago, plan on really stepping it up in the next week. I have been popping in my hunting videos and been running 2 miles every day on the treadmill and also been lifting weights. By Sept I should be in kick @ss shape. Today I'm gonna hit up the archery ranges walk through course with about a 30-40lbs in my pack.  Also started a diet....can't wait for hunting season.

Met with the  back surgeon  and he is pleased with my results- bone grafts are slolid and all screws tight.

follow up Physical Therapy for the knee replacement is going on week 4-  Three times per week PT for 2 hours + each is paying off. Strength and more important range of motion is improving.

I weighed 196 this AM- haven't seen that since the early 80's but a lot of the loss is muscle mass so we working on the ' we can make him stronger' equation.  ;)

Staying optimistic and drew my CO ELK tag for archery in mid Sep.  Right now thinking about stepping over deadfalls is foreboding as I just got back to walking two miles earlier this week.
Keep 'em Straight!!! (and quiet)
