Another long hiatus. Another apology for being a lame blogger.
Fortunately, not a whole lot has been missed… well, sort of. Here’s a rundown of what’s happened since the last post:
- Started doing yoga, and absolutely love it
- Climbed a lot, and trained a lot… for climbing
- Sent a few V5s and a bunch of V4s
- Climbed at Hueco Tanks… twice!
- Climbed at Horse Pens 40
- Pull-up count is steady at 12-14
- Got engaged!
Here’s a photo from Hueco Trip #1, on No One Gets Out of Here Alive. It took some time for me to get the beta down before sending it. The past Hueco Trip #2, I…

On Monday and Tuesday I did the 6.5ish-mile loop, where on Monday I probably averaged around an 8:45 pace and on Tuesday around an 8:20 pace. Then yesterday, I did 5.5 miles at an 8:00 pace.

And it was such a great running day that the entire time I felt like I wasn’t expending any energy at all. I probably could have run a few more miles, but I figured it wouldn’t be a good idea to increase my mileage by so much.
Why is running so weird? One…
