Last week of May Update


This last week was pretty mellow for me after the race the weekend before. I allowed myself to eat basically anything that I wanted and didn’t think very much about working out. I did manage to go to the gym to wrestle a couple of days, and I ran a couple of days as well to get some exercise for the dogs.



Friday the big game tag results for Nevada were posted online. I drew a muzzleloader deer tag which I am really happy about, and which will keep me busy the last week of September. If I could hunt big game with only one weapon it would be a muzzleloader. This weekend I went out a couple of times with my buddy Darin and we both shot our muzzleloaders. I am playing with a new load but it still needs a little work, meaning a few more days at the range to get things all dialed in.



No big plans this week. Maybe try to get out and fish a bit, and I need to run the dogs a few times as well. Regarding my own running, I am just going to keep it relaxed for the next week. Instead I am going to focus more on my Jiu Jitsu for a little while. The twins are growing like crazy and everyday their own personalities become more and more apparent. Lots of fun and lots of work.

Silver State 50/50


I have never run in an organized event in my life. Generally I would consider myself to be a better than average runner, but I will be the first to admit that I am not on the level of a good runner or a competitive runner. As most of you who fallow my blog know, my main motivation is simply that I enjoy the act of running and being out in the mountains with my dogs.

This last weekend I ran the 50K event at the Silver State 50/50. (31.5 miles with 6100 feet of vertical gain) Obviously this was a new experience for me and it is one that I am glad that I had the chance to experience. I finished in the middle of the pack, and was very glad for the race to be over when it was. I had some fun moments throughout the run, and I had some miserable moments that just made me want the race to be done with. Even now, a couple of days later, I am on the fence whether or not I will run It again. I just don’t know. Big congratulations to everyone who finished the run 50K race, and big congrats to all the freaks that ran in the 50 mile race.

Sunday we went out to the lake to celebrate the eclipse. The weather was beautiful, fish were being caught, drinks were being drank, good food was being eaten, and it was an all around good time.

My best attempt at documenting the eclipse.


Anyone want to celebrate with a scorpion shot?


If you don’t know what is happening here, then I am not explaining… Celebrating the eclipse...


A good view out at the lake.
