Post by: Machias on June 01, 2011, 12:50:31 PM: Ok, for the past two months I have been very UN motivated, Going to break that cycle NOW! Got five miles in today.

Post by: wildmanoutdoors on June 01, 2011, 01:12:12 PM: I did ok the last 2 months. Did not hit my 100 mile mark but did some good mileage. This month between working 4 days a week at my normal job and 3 days a week refitting a crab boat I likely wont get many miles in. The boat is also killing my Morel season. And its soooo good so far!

Good start to the month. Only 94 miles more miles to go! :bash:

I haven't met 100 yet, but I really wanna be in shape for grouse season. Like to hike in a bit and those steep hillsides can be a killer.

Crabs... Morels... Crabs... Morels... Crabs... Morels... hmmmm. Both! :drool:

Title: Re: June Walk Challenge
Post by: Heartsblood on June 03, 2011, 02:58:30 PM: Nice!
Yeah I got out today too. It's weird - the first friday in a while I haven't been turkey hunting... so I walked the slough as usual. Pretty neat - I watched a golden eye put on an act of being stupid and injured for about a half hour while two bald eagles watched and even tried a coupla dives at him. No chance! Plop. Under water. I know there must have been a hen and cjicks nearby up in the blackberry bushes or somethin'. I think I've only seen Mallard chicks...ever.

82 miles to go!

Title: Re: June Walk Challenge
Post by: Heartsblood on June 08, 2011, 04:31:11 PM: Got another six in on the slough. Only 59 miles to go.

Holy crap! I just saw 3 blacktail bucks! Velvet, 6-8 inches bulbous on the ends. They walked 30 yards from me, starting at 250. You don't understand! This is Woodinville. On next to the heavily populated bike path. And, actually less than a quarter mile from an apartment I used to rent. Serioulsy - I've been walking/jogging this path for 10 years. I've never seen deer, let alone 3 bucks. I am seriously blow away.

Most amazing thing I've ever seen on the slough. Ever.

Post by: seth30 on June 08, 2011, 05:51:23 PM: how are you guys tracking your movment? I used to wear a pedometer at work, and was logging 7 miles a day :yike:
Title: Re: June Walk Challenge
Post by: Heartsblood on June 08, 2011, 06:31:24 PM: The Sammamish river trail where I usually walk has markers. So after years of walking there, I know that 1 hr equals roughly 4 miles.
