Part of my current workout strategy, which has been evolving all year long. Been purposely exposing myself to the intense heat this summer to try to get adjusted again, and it's working. It's not like anyone gave me and my doctor wife an instruction booklet on how to return to normal after suffering a brain injury, so I've been having to figure that out on my own. I've also been trying to get used to my workout tower Liz and I bought and assembled this summer for me to use outside. Being self motivated is a great thing.

Pre-workout walk. Nice, haven't walked around here in almost 2 weeks due to visiting my home town in Georgia, which I would never recommend to anyone. It's so freaking humid there. Felt so good to get back to the desert yesterday. As the plane was reaching the area Liz pointed at something through the window and asked "What is that peak?" I happily informed her she was looking at Four Peaks. We could also see Weaver's Needle.

Another score for me and Liz. Like true slackers we hit Papago around 3PM to look for owls again and spotted 2 this time, unlike 4 we saw Thursday. Looked like a happy couple. As we were hiking I realized why the heat is a little tough on me this summer. While hospitalized late last year I was well fed and gained some unnatural weight that I seriously need to lose so I can get back to being thin and well comfortable in extreme heat.

What an amazing really quick owl viewing adventure Liz and I had at Papago today. She had wanted to go to Camelback today, but the weather didn't look promising, so I threw out a "stupid" idea: "Hey, let's go look for our favorite owls again." We hadn't seen them in at least a couple of months and had kinda given up hope for this summer, but that hope was quickly restored as we were heading up between 2 buttes and watched 2 of them fly over us as I had a "what the!" moment. I'm posting some photos from the experience, not to draw attention to me, but to those awesome critters. If you haven't had the pleasure of viewing great horned owls at Papago, trust me when I say it's amazing.

My GPS went dead so didn't track the distance properly, but that's okay, it was in the Sugarloaf Mtn area. I think the past 3 summers I've been out on tortoise surveys with the AZGFD and had a great time. I started thinking I wouldn't hear anything this summer until finally some weeks back I got an e-mail, and Liz was also interested, so I signed us both up for this morning. It required us getting up super early to meet the group, which is against how we believe in handling hikes most of the time, but in the interest of science we were okay with it. I'm okay with starting early occasionally anyway, but in general I want my doctor wife to get plenty of sleep.
With all the steep offtrail terrain it was challenging for us and tested my courage, endurance, and balancing ability, but it was worth it and was awesome. There was some scrambling and bouldering involved. Unlike when I've participated in the past, we didn't spot any tortoises ouselves, but others did and were happy to show us. One guy showed us a gorgeous rattlesnake curled up under a boulder. I feel grateful to the AZGFD people for letting me do this again. It was great for me as I am trying to get my hiking game back on.

Liz and I planned to take a little stab at Black Top Mesa today. We started hiking at 10:30am. Despite how a lot of other people like to start extremely early, we prefer to just take the heat head-on. The extreme heat and humidity caught up with us after a few miles, so we turned around, but only after quickly going offtrail and scrambling up the side of a tiny mountain top up to something I referred to as "Mike's Magic Rock". We were both worn by the time we got back to the car, but I think it was good for me as I am trying to get myself feeling normal again. We feel like we're rediscovering the Supes. Hopefully I can find someone to go with me on some little peak bagging adventures.

Liz was torn between biking or hiking some at Papago this afternoon, so we hit the greenbelt on bikes. First time I've biked in a few weeks. I've lately been walking a few to several miles almost every single day while trying to adjust to my new workout tower. The ride went smoothly. Liz busted out laughing at one point when she heard me yell "Get the hell out of my way!" I was talking to a duck blocking my way.

Haven't been there in a few months, so that was fun. What I have never and still don't appreciate is having someone harass us as we walk in, trying to take out photo, of course with the intention of trying to make more money off of us. Still fun though. We remembered back to 2 or 3 years ago when we had animals begging us for treats as we ate crackers. Tamarins reached arms out of their cage and squeaked. A coati wimpered at us. The dominant male big horn sheep ran off his competitors so he could stand below us and make loud grunting noises.

The heat has become torturous. I also wonder if the site has been changed. Did an OS reinstallation a few days ago. Other sites look the same as always, but this one looks different. I don't know, maybe something goofed up on my end.

Before and after workout walks. Had to work out frustration from doing a fresh OS install on my pc.

Pre and post-workout walking. Been taking long daily walks for a couple of weeks now to regain my love for the extreme heat, and I'm impressed by the amount of courtesy I've been shown by drivers at intersections. They actually yield and even back up to give me space sometimes. Young punks on bikes and skateboards however, that's a different story.
On a side note, for several months now I've enjoyed the one and only side benefit to my brain injury, and my wife the successful doctor has had no explanation to offer but is just happy for me about it. Headaches are a thing of the past. Given, I've never suffered frequent or regular headaches before in my life, just occasional, but I no longer know what it's like to feel even a slight one. Interesting.
