  • I transitioned from an elliptical to the treadmill. Knees are in rough shape and it took about 4 weeks for them to get sore after pushing a little too quick and not getting proper rest. Probably wasn’t doing enough stretching either. Inside of my knee is where it hurt so don’t think it was an IT band issue.

    Listened to my body, that’s the fitness victory. Knee feels better 7 days since my last run and just in time to set off of a thru hike of the Uinta Highline Trail on Sunday. Hella excited for the adventure too!








  • I usually shoot for about 2,500 calories per day. Right now, I am thinking about 120-140 calories per ounce. Breakfast is a granola with chocolate, chia seeds, freeze-dried fruit, and whole powdered milk (also do a coffee hot chocolate mocha thing that is always a great extra way to get extra calories). Dinner is freeze dried meal, Sakura’s rice and beans, and Mac and cheese (using cheese powder from Amazon). Snacks are mix of trail mix, Snickers, and Ritz cheese cracker sandwiches. I’m debating bringing some flour tortillas and peanut butter to make some trail mix wrap things but haven’t fully landed on it yet.

    Clothing wise, I have a tropic comfort II sunshirt and strider pro shorts. I have a primaloft active fleece (their answer to alpha direct) and decathlon forclaz 100 hoodie for insulation. Also have a pair of Copperfield windpants for the wind. Got a versalite for my rain jacket. Feel pretty solid about my clothing set up for the most part. Only newish piece is the fleece which I haven’t used but one time in North Carolina this past memorial day. Going to bring sunblock for my legs as I’m more comfortable with the shorts over pants (I sweat something fierce and I’m just personally more comfortable with some sunscreen). Hopefully I can get my write up up before you head out just in case.
