    Just finished a max cardio Insanity workout. Man I hate these workouts, but I feel awesome afterwards. I'll be hiking with a fully loaded pack tomorrow, doing some running afterwards, and finishing up with another workout. I sure do love punishment.

    Oh yeah, there will definitely be pics. I am so stoked about this hunt. I can barely sleep at night because I'm thinking about it constantly. I ended up not getting to work out as much as I wanted today due to the obligations of everyday life getting in the way, but there should be some sweating going on tomorrow.

    I understand this feeling completely. My mind is going to be absent from anything else until I go out west. Keep up the workouts. I took a few days off because I was getting some bad blisters on the back of my heels. Healed now though. Going to use some moleskin before they develop. Glad this happened where I had time to let it heal.

    Ran 6 miles last night. Going for 4.5 or 6 miles hiking today with some shooting.

    Good luck, I'm ready to see you behind a bull. I went Saturday and hiked 8.5 miles with 65 lb. load. I really think I will be able to handle the mountains.....or hope anyways.

    I sure hope I get my pic with a Bull. This year I don't care if it's opening morning. If I see a legal bull, cow, or calf. One of them is getting shot.
