Mountain bike at night when its cool. Hiked a few mountains. Eat enough ice cream to stay at 170. Back is still screwed up so limited upper body. It's not natural for 40 year olds to do 20 pull ups anyways.
I'm more of an uphiller when it comes to hiking. The views get better and better, and I enjoy the exertion. Going downhill for too long hurts!I think I might have found my summer workout stokage. I hiked down the summit of Killington in Vermont today and I think I'm hooked. i admit I'm lazy and uphill waking isn't my thing but walking downhill was way more interesting to me. It was around 2.5 miles from the summit to the bottom. I told my guy Michael that I may have found my summer thang. It's a challenge to get me to hike anywhere. However, put me on a ski mountain at the summit and say 'downward' and I seem to do it with a smile. Maybe it was the late august vermont summer air, the cool breezes, the happy vibe all around. Something about today was magical. Put me on a ski mountain in the summer and say let's walk down and I seem to do it with aplomb. I might have found another summer stoke thing for me to do............

Indoor rock climbing. Generally chasing kids around. Chores around the house and yard. Hmm, I've also started to incorporate more "gym" exercises, some ski-specific like this one

Here are some simple exercises to unlock those hips, no fancy equipment required.

By snow time, I should be in better shape to snow ski and drink more beer.
Why wait? Drink more beer now.
I'm sure you are in good enough shape to do that.
