Pollock Bench Run .... Sort of

Sunny
Doc and Toe-Moss swung on by and picked me up for a Tuesday hike. We headed towards the Monument and arrived before I finished sending off text/e-mails. The weather front cleansed the air last night with wind and about .25 of an inch of rain. Ideal Trail Conditions

Windy

We walked and proceeded to solve all the 1st world problems in just a few short hours time. We would find a little shade or stare at the blooming cacti. AND NOT ONE DAMN PHOTO. Paint Brush, Fuchsia Blooming Barrel Cacti, and Tapertip Onions were all reaching for the sky. Photographers Dream

Rut Row

Fun little hike around the Pollock Bench area under sunny but cumulus clouds nearing by. Those pressure gradients pushed together and wonderful winds picked up. Something was building to the south but I wasn't all that concerned. Maybe an hour or so, we turned off Pollock and funneled our way down Flume Canyon Trail as Mother Nature was about to make an appearance. Thunder Rumbled

Rainbow Anyone??

In the bigger picture here, wasn't bad at all. Just walking around these canyon walls takes all the worries out. This would be my second Tuesday outing with Doc and what a kick in the A$$ he is. We all enjoyed each other company while finding common interest. My Kind Of Hiking

RADIO SHOW THIS SATURDAY!!!!! You all remember the TV Show HEE HAW?? I remember my grandparents watching this show and I didn't have a clue about all the adult humor. I just liked the music, the old blood hound dog, and witnessing my grandpa laugh like there was no tomorrow.  

So this Saturday ( Earth Day 22nd of April Here In Colorado ) at 6am, web cam live, I am hosting The Oasis Show and will be highlighting skits from Hee Haw. I have some amazing clips of Dolly Parton ( like young 20's ) and Chet Akins and Baseball HOF Johnny Bench and a bunch of corn field stand up comedy to air on KAFM

Click on that KAFM link and that will take you to the home page. You will see the LISTEN! tap for live streaming. Next to it, ON AIR will give you the drop down option. Click on LIVE VIDEO STUDIO. I will be holding up the LP Covers of what is spinning, The Boy Dog will be in the studio with me, and maybe a guest or two???

Photos & Meeting New People




Another Bitchin' Ryan D Video From The White Rim Trail




The Cody's Challenge was epic!! MAD Racing was invited to time this event. This event was MORE than just a timing gig. 




The organizers treated us like royalty, as they did with everyone.


Friday Night's Meet And Greet was awesome. The Band, The Parents, Race Director, Friends, Board Members, and Old Room Mates/Friends of Cody's were all in attendance and represented. For me, they were so easy to find common interest with.


The host " Cabin " was donated but the Grand Daughter of Behr Paints, or so I think thats how it was explained to me, during the weekend. The craftsmanship around this place was remarkable for sure. I would encourage you to click on these photos to really capture your eyes attention to the finer details.



I am in the process of finishing up a time lapse from just outside of this picturesque view. The video will offer some snow dropping in, clouds rolling in and out of the canyon, and a perfectly gorgeous water fall spilling down to the valley below. Amazing




And EVERY single racer was brilliant!! They thanked us over and over again, brought us food off the BBQ during Saturdays race, and were beyond casual during registration or finishing across the line. So many of them were surprised to find out that their finishing times were live on the net AND a web cam photo was available.


Listen Up Bloggers!! The Cody's Challenge will be celebrating 10 Years in 2018. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE sign up, donate, and be apart of these amazing festival.

This blog is for my own personal benefits, logging miles, journaling my Ortho-Bionomy journey, and a photo archive of the Boy Dog. But the Cody's Challenge is worth selling.

Cheers

Totally Motivated Part III

Physically: Woke up feeling great!! Early stretching, rehydrating, and controlled calisthenics with a few cups of joe. A bike commute into a head wind and a trip over to the gym.

Shoulders/Tri day and damn that felt good. I saw a video about the military press and I followed that advice. Instead of the bench at a 90, drop to back a few holes. Now this does active the pecks but damn my shoulders were smooth and pain free. Lateral raises were awesome because I used the 10 pounder in my one hand at a 90 degree while I focused on my medial deltoid with the other arm.

Then, compared my card from a year ago. UNREAL. One arm kick backs.... year ago .... 10 pounders .... That was my warm up set today .... Again, Unreal. Its been a really good week and will have a 3 day weekend coming up for recovery period.

John & I hit the road Friday morning for Steamboat Spring Colorado. We have been hired to time the Cody Challenge Saturday ( APRIL FOOLS DAY ) and I couldn't be happier. An excellent cause, Steamboat is awesome, and we are looking at damn near perfect conditions.


Mentally: Shook off the old engrams, walking on water with my renew rejuvenation, and thanked my diaphragm for the number of breaths todays. Like, walking into my bank and holding the door open for a 3 or maybe 4 year old kid. He was a classic, as kids that age are. But the point was, I dropped the ball before Vegas and was penalized $2 dollars .... I didn't lose my marbles ... Just processed the situation and moved on ... Its were writing my intentions down comes into play ... I blew it, the bank saved me, the sun set.

Tomorrow is a full body routine at the gym and a massage. Wont take me long to pack and get organized. Then, severing up the concessions for the local reggae/infusion jazz/funk band at 9am. These guys are real good but they have a terrible name. Zolopht is starting their Spring Tour here at KAFM and then they are heading eastbound.

I am so ready to just find my groove, sells some brew, socialize, and get funky. Its What We Need



Here is last nights time lapse from Grand Junction Colorado. Another sweet on and hope you dig the Keller Williams!!

Cheers

Totally Motivated Part II

Physically: Today was a Back/Bi day at Crossroads. Hopped up on the Dreadmill for a 20 minute warm up and focused on really rolling my hips towards that forward motion. Quads felt really loose, calves were unnoticeable, and my hammies felt healthy.

Staying with the new charting card theme, started off with Lat Pull Downs. My warm up set was with my last years main set numbers. Really contracting the Rhomboids with each rep and focusing on my lat while relaxing my hands as my as I could get away with.

Seated rows are so damn cool. Its just one of those exercise were you body remains quite. Sometimes I drift off as if I was really rowing.

My whole back routine was enjoyable today and I am thankful for that. Curls were entertaining because someone inflated the Bosu Ball I stand on. Took some concentration but handled the 20 pounders just fine.

A new exercise I really like is holding one of the 10 pound dumbbells at 90 degrees and curl with the other 10 pounds. Its pretty cool engaging all those stabilizing muscles while performing a normal curl. I used the 10's but could possibly try the 12.5 next time.

MENTALLY: Found myself running old engrams a few times today. Kind of in a bipolar way. Such as, while riding the commuter bike, wondered why I haven't been running all along?? Have Been. Why haven't I lifted heavier weights?? Have Been. Should I be riding more?? Have Been.

Basically, that was the theme in my head. A negative and then reinforcements. Another neg and then a justification. Just strange little moments in time to process and move on. I'm thinking that I'll pass on referring back to my old card at the gym tomorrow and just go through my shoulder/tri regiment.

Pulling into together. One day at a time. Feeling better everyday. Becoming stronger everyday.


Now this time lapse rocks!! Specially if you like Stave Kimock!! I ran the clip backwards at the end and sped the video up. Its only a minute or so long and worth a watch.


Cheers
