The elk trip is on. I am rolling out with 3 good dudes the first week of September to chase elk with a bow in the high country of Colorado. This trip has been just what I needed to whip the old body back into shape. I might not get an elk on this trip, but I will be in shape. I laid out a 90-day plan that's I've been marching to that includes all kind of cardio / strength training to handle the intense Colorado Rockies at elevations between 10,000 - 12,000 ft.
I've been pretty creative and having fun with the workout plan. But, by far the most fun is loading the kids up in the backpack and climbing the local hills. Of course, this wont be the same as packing out a quartered elk in the Rockies at elevation, but it sure is fun and the kiddos love it.
