We're a quarter of the way through our 40 workout/hike program. Today's hike was especially enjoyable because Cara joined us; her conversational skills go a long way toward taking the mind off the pain. (Well, it's really not pain, just a bit of discomfort here and there). I went old-school for the workout part of the program: 110 pull-ups, 220 push-ups, 330 sit-ups. That had me breathing like a creeper, let me tell you. Tomorrow I'll do the lumberjack workout; that is, I'll chop wood, then hike. Yeah, a little of this, a little of that. It's a happy life.
