The theme of this week was, “Am I getting sick? I’m getting sick. No, not quite sick, maybe tomorrow?! Tomorrow I’ll be sick?!” Thus, it was an easy-ish load of training. Trying not to overdo it, as everyone around me seems to be inflicted with the plague.

Wow, the start of the new year perfectly coincides with the beginning day of my training journal? Guess that’s good enough excuse enough to jot things down online. This year, I’ve decided to keep record keeping in a actual gridded notebook, and make my notes as I do the exercise, which makes a world of Continue reading…

What else does a newly tuned up bike need, except a nice MUD BATH! In typical @longrangerjustin style, I literaly ran across town with all my bike gear in my @ultimatedirectionusa Fastpack 15 to catch a bus to Golden to pick up the Sherpa Bike aka Surly Ogre aka Adventure Buddy from @goldenbikeshop, and took Continue reading…

Looking a little grizzly while overlooking Bear Peak today. Conditions were a little windy, but not too bad out there! Trying my best to ramp up my weekly mileage, but bopping up and down mountains just isn’t the easiest way to do that. I cant help it, too much fun! …even though my quads protest. Continue reading…

No bike? No problem. Run to the gym, climb-climb-climb, run to the store, load up my @ultimatedirectionusa Fastpack 15 with goodies and comfort #food and do a quick #hypergravity run back home (and earn that ice cream!). No matter your situation: you can make it work, and you can fit it all in. Maybe I’ll Continue reading…

Mon Nov 23 2015 – Off Looks like Monday is becoming me default, “off” day – work just needs to get taken care of, which is fine. Tue Nov 24 2015 – Sunshine Canyon/Gold Hill up! Lefthand/Lee Hill down  (S) Another wonderful ride up Sunshine Canyon/Gold Hill. I could write an entire love letter to Continue reading…

Woo boy. The difficulties of writing the things you do down, in order to keep some sort of history of said things.   And for what end? I’d like to say it’s so that I can use it to look back, and track progress and all that. I do it – or want to do Continue reading…

Monday, Oct 26 2015 – Bouldering @ Movement Good boulder sess. today – very quick warmup of some V0’s and V1’s, which mutated into playing One Less Hold on some V1s until that got boring. Then I moved over to a V5 project I was working on a bit. Managed to send that problem. My Continue reading…

Mon Sep 21 – Neighborhood Trails (s) Quickie around the trails near my house. Funnily, I’ve never been to any of these trails, which is a little embarassing. Good tuneup for the rest of the week, I guess. 

Monday, May 4, 2015 – Rest The deluge of last week finally hit me.  Tuesday, May 5, 2015 – Green Mountain (S) The weather has gone from cloudy to just drizzly, testing me to even want to go outside. It’s not just that we’re not used to such Pacific Northwest-like conditions, it’s that everything is Continue reading…

Longs Peak from the steps of the Stanley Hotel, Estes Park This was a pretty difficult week to get through, as I needed to move to a new house, I had a rehearsal, then to play a show in Estes Park. My Brother was also in town for a few days, and I wanted to Continue reading…
