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!

Post by: Rhinoron247 on April 12, 2011, 05:04:52 PM: 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. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Post by: Heartsblood on April 13, 2011, 09:02:32 AM: 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.

Post by: Machias 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! :IBCOOL: Get down the road a little ways and it is snowing sideways and then it begin to thunder and lightning. :yike: Holy crap. I did 5 miles and it was snowing for all it's worth the whole way. Feel good though!!!

Post by: Heartsblood 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'...

Post by: Machias on April 18, 2011, 02:55:47 PM: Your doing GREAT so far, wait till next month you'll feel a million times better!!! :IBCOOL:

Post by: wsucowboy 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.
Title: Re: April Walk Challenge
Post by: Machias on April 19, 2011, 01:26:26 PM: 5 more miles today, much nicer walking weather!!
Title: Re: April Walk Challenge
Post by: Heartsblood 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.

Post by: Machias on April 20, 2011, 08:32:07 PM: Got 6.2 miles in tonight, actually started getting chilly at the end of the walk.
Title: Re: April Walk Challenge
Post by: Heartsblood 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.

Post by: Machias on April 21, 2011, 01:43:42 PM: Ok this walking in the snow is getting old! 5 more miles today, feeling really good!

Post by: Heartsblood 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...

Title: Re: April Walk Challenge
Post by: Heartsblood 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.
