Pre Safari Physical Training P.T.

Pre-safari training test on Monday: Boston Marathon.
This is a year-round process of trying to pay attention to staying in shape. I’m really running so next year’s version of me is still capable to do the things I love to do.
 
Wow!!!! Now that is impressive my friend!!! Congratulations!!!

No, I'm not waiting for you to tell me about the marathon. I was just sitting here (literally) eating popcorn and thinking how daunting a marathon can be. Best of luck my friend, and please do tell us about the marathon.

Finished in 3:16, with two sit down bathroom stops due to stomach pains. It rained some, which was helpful. Now I’m having a rough time with stairs.
I truly love the training to get to a marathon. The event itself is part endurance of body and part endurance of the mind. Figuring out how to keep running when you’d much rather quit, that is the marathon.
It translates to life. And to hunting. You can’t see the finish line in a marathon until the very end. I think when we hunt it is the same.

Lots of parallels between running a marathon, hunting and navigating life. Having the sand to see it through can be rough.
 
Training is more than physical, mental is also a huge key. If anyone really thinks they are tough, I highly recommend they try the MR 340 River Race. 340 miles of paddling from Kaw Point in Kansas City Kansas, (yes there is a Kansas City Missouri) to St Charles Missouri. The longest continuous river race in the world. I completed it in 2011 in 54 hours and 37 minutes earning me 5th place in men’s solo.
If I was in that condition now, I would have zero problems on safari. Time and other factors have taken their toll.
Mental conditioning is also a key factor. Never give up, never surrender!
Know where the finish line is helps.

You’ve got an interesting screen name. Will the Thrill provided lots of great times for me as a lifelong Giants fan. Even though I never met him, a number of buddies either duck hunted or shared a dugout with him. He’s a great guy according to those guys. Cool screen name and if that’s your real name, it’s a great one.
in-between all the bush fire, hunting and work on the hunting area its hard to find time for fishing as well

I ran across a message from you a couple of years ago while I was going through old emails. I have arranged a second bison hunt in Nebraska in September 2024, about 6-years after the first, when my supply of bison meat was exhausted. My email is [redacted].

If those Schells rings fare still available, I could use them. I'm willing to pay for the shipping.
