Well, I feel like I've been living out of a suite case

the last few weeks as I've been in Alaska for a pair

of weeks, then off to Cedar City, UT for

videography/editing lessons, and then onto the

Bitterroots for some bear hunting...I've tried to stay

CrossFitting, Running, and getting my bow drawn

back in the middle of all this traveling.

Staying in good shape is not only part of my lifestyle,

but it's really in my job description as an a strength

and conditioning coach. I am not the world's greatest

runner, but I do like to compete so ramping up for an

x-dog trail run race in Oregon was definitely a

motivational factor. I managed to sneak some

miles in UT at 6,000 ft and I also ran several times

at bear camp in the middle of the Bitterroots which

kept my lungs large. I think fitness boils down to doing

a handful of things each day that you don't want to do.

For example, saying no to the snooze button, bringing

food from home to work instead of a fast food lunches,

pushing the pace in a workout when there's no gas

in the tank, going to bed early, etc ...needless to say,

we all have a common thread of love for wildlife,

bowhunting and the mountains! Accept your

motivation, take your medicine because I am here

to tell you that I just got back from some of Idaho

and Montana's steepest and deepest country and

the bulls and bucks are there, up high by the fresh

green-up walking their trails, bedding on their

ridges, and feeding on their slopes while we sit

at a desk all day. TRAIN! I'll continue to keep

updates on how the training is going and how

we can make sure 2008 is the best season yet.
