12 miles so far, well behind my goal but I can still make 100 miles for this month. Come on, get your butts in gear and help me make this a good start to our fall hunts!! here is a walking ticker you can copy and past into your signature block in your profile. Helps keep track and helps keep you motivated. Good luck!

wildmanoutdoors · « **Reply #4 on:** April 12, 2011, 12:30:42 PM »

4 miles last night. 4 more tonight planned! Love the sunny days. Better than the gym by far!

Machias · « **Reply #5 on:** April 12, 2011, 04:18:42 PM »

Doing a great job. Got 4 miles in today myself!

I'm in, have been hitting the gym at least 4 -5 times a week and am up to 4 miles on the elliptical and then onto the weights. 16 days till my Alaska Bear hunt and I'm more worried about keeping up with my 24 year old son than out running a bear.

Kinda stalled this week. Still at 22 miles total. Workin' 10 hr days and tryin' to get the RV ready for turkey opening....

Bleh.... excuses.

I will be walking about 8 to 10 miles a day in Cle Elum tho' this weekend. Does that count?

wildmanoutdoors · « **Reply #8 on:** April 13, 2011, 09:43:08 AM »

I'm getten er done every night. Gotta turn and burn on the weekends to hit my 100.

Heartsblood · « **Reply #9 on:** April 14, 2011, 01:28:51 PM »

Finally got a good hike in between rain/hail storms...

Machias · « **Reply #10 on:** April 14, 2011, 02:42:42 PM »

4 more miles today!

Heartsblood · « **Reply #11 on:** April 18, 2011, 08:32:16 AM »

A few more miles this weekend. Boy...I wish I woulda started this a coupla months ago - Might coulda had a bit more travel in me for the hunt. Gettin' serious this week as I want to be better off if I get bacl out after turkeys this spring.

Machias · « **Reply #12 on:** April 18, 2011, 01:19:04 PM »

I went down to change clothes and the dark clouds were rolling in. I said to myself I don't care what gets thrown at me today I am walking!! Came out from changing my clothes and it had begun to snow. Hah still walking!

Get down the road a little ways and it is snowing sideways and then it begin to thunder and lightning.

Holy crap. I did 5 miles and it was snowing for all it's worth the whole way. Feel good though!!!

Heartsblood · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2011, 01:57:28 PM »

Nice work! Not to be swayed.

I got my butt handed to me this past weekend turkey hunting. I need to get real. Just got back from my 5 mile "lunch break". I don't like getting back to camp(er) so tired I can hardly think about getting up at 4am and doing it all over again. It was a wake up call. Still had a great time tho'...

Machias · « **Reply #14 on:** April 18, 2011, 02:55:47 PM »

Your doing GREAT so far, wait till next month you'll feel a million times better!!!

wsucowboy · « **Reply #15 on:** April 18, 2011, 03:13:04 PM »

Thanks for finding the ticker. I've been doing some jogging to get into better shape for hunting season. Lost about 35 pounds the last month or so but have put on another 5 pounds as of late.

Machias · « **Reply #16 on:** April 19, 2011, 01:26:26 PM »

5 more miles today, much nicer walking weather!!

Heartsblood · « **Reply #17 on:** April 19, 2011, 03:27:08 PM »

I won't start jogging again until I break 190 - too much hammering on my knees!

But, I did get another five today as well. The middle half of my walk is an 1/4 mile 45 degree incline which mixes it up a bit from walk to hike.

Glad ya didn't get stormed on again Machias.

Machias · « **Reply #18 on:** April 20, 2011, 08:32:07 PM »

Got 6.2 miles in tonight, actually started getting chilly at the end of the walk.

Heartsblood · « **Reply #19 on:** April 20, 2011, 09:25:21 PM »

Nice.
I got my five on the hill again today.
I'm Hoping for one more walk/hike tomorrow before I head out for another weekend lookin for a gobbler- I leave directly after work.

Machias · « **Reply #20 on:** April 21, 2011, 01:43:42 PM »

Ok this walking in the snow is getting old! 5 more miles today, feeling really good!

Heartsblood · « **Reply #21 on:** April 21, 2011, 03:25:00 PM »

Got mine in today too.

Then this wetsider is takin' his diesel f-350 to Cle Elum for the weekend. I'll likely do my share of walkin' there too...

Heartsblood · « **Reply #22 on:** April 21, 2011, 03:27:45 PM »

Whoops! I lied...

To save on gas, I'm taking my wifes ford fusion!?! Heh...

That's what I get fer tryin' ta be funny.

TheHunt · « **Reply #23 on:** April 21, 2011, 03:36:34 PM »

Cool, I will join you...

Machias · « **Reply #24 on:** April 22, 2011, 12:35:04 PM »

Now THAT was nice walking weather. Got 5 more miles in today!!

wildmanoutdoors · « **Reply #25 on:** April 25, 2011, 08:49:23 AM »

Boy Sat was a nice day. Got and hiked, then sun back to wet! Still got out though. Need to put it into high gear to make my mark!
Great job everybody!

Machias · « **Reply #26 on:** April 25, 2011, 11:22:51 AM »

I'm going to barely miss my 100 mile goal for this month, but no biggie I am really back into walking good so I will tear it up in May!!

rasbo · « **Reply #27 on:** April 25, 2011, 11:51:08 AM »

thats great ,

Heartsblood · « **Reply #28 on:** April 27, 2011, 03:16:53 PM »

Six more today. Might not make my goal this month but After Turkey season, it's time to get serious.

I did see my first ducklings today tryin - to keep up with mamma mallard - 8 little mousie sized chicks.

And I got to see two pairs of wood ducks. Jeeze those males are striking! So awesome.

All on the slough.
