2024 Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

I'm slowly plugging away between the knee issue and hunting. Mostly upper body weights the last month but the knee seems to be coming around. Sure felt that month off last night doing a lot of road bike intervals. Planning to ease back into more exercise and see how it goes.
 
I'm interested. Need to clear it with the boss though since it's the first weekend after her bday and there may be in laws I have to entertain.
 
My uncle Don was born in 1930 - veteran of combat, USN, Korea. Nicest, most sincere guy you could ever meet. I remember being a teenager and Mom getting off the phone saying "Don ran 7 miles for his 50th birthday!" I thought it was crazy but...whatever.

Over the years he sort of lived vicariously through my tales of hunting. He was in perfect health until the cancer caught up to him at the age of 80, but his family responsibilities kept him from being in the woods as much as he'd have liked. I had been running for only a couple years before he was gone.
I wish he was around to know I'm still running and hunting, even traveling to other states to participate in events. Every year for quite a few years now I run 7 miles on my birthday in memory of Don. (that was my goal when I was 49 - to run 7 on my 50th birthday)

I did 7.5 in the woods yesterday - he would have loved it.
 
Garmin guys, need your help. I'm trying to program a workout so that I do a 10 minute warmup on the treadmill, 20 mins on the stair stepper, 2 mile cool down on the treadmill. I can set it up fine but when I go to do the workout the treadmill portion will only record 10 minutes, it doesn't record any running stats. I want the running portions to still track to Garmin Connect as runs. Is that possible? I feel dumb having 3 different workouts upload to Strava (like this morning) for this workout when it could just be 1 workout with 3 segments

I don't think there's a way to do this in the app, I've heard you have to download the gpx files, edit together, and reupload as a new (combined) activity, but I've never actually tried it first hand. My cousin that ran the same marathon as I did had to do this I'll ask her how she did...
 
Put in an easy mile and some walking to test the knee this morning, felt good.
 
Football is done. Got some valuable hunting and scouting in yesterday and today. Runs took a break but the hikes made up for it. Running in the morning and hiking/hunting after that
 
Fortunate enough that my work started a “life spending account” where we basically get a limit of “free” (taxable) money to put towards workout equipment, gym memberships, etc.

As much as I hate admitting that I shopped at ****s Sporting Goods after they stopped selling hunting gear, I was able to get several kettlebells this year utilizing these funds.

30-45 minute workouts every other day, as possible, with the kettlebells is great for someone who is looking to keep muscles active and strong but not necessarily trying to add mass like with traditional weight lifting.

Plus side is that kettlebells take up a small amount of space and you don’t necessarily need any additional equipment (bench, squat rack, etc.)

Did anti-Dave 2.0 workout Tuesday. It's a running joke about another guy at the gym who skips leg day every time lol. Still sore today but normal hard workout sore, not my knee won't work. Slacking on cardio but it's going to get worked back into the schedule, maybe before work if I can get my lazy bones outta bed.
