Today had several encouraging moments. The first was waking up and not feeling tired, after a solid ten hours of sleep. The second, going to the track and practicing running with my friends Marty and Debra. I have cut off over a second on my 100m dash time already, and I think I could go faster, but I’ll have to work up to it. Third, I saw a job opening I am going to apply for…lastly, I am working on harder climbs in the gym now. I made it up a crimpy slab 5.10d (intermediate level)with three falls today. Even though I cannot climb them without falling, the harder climbs are fun and challenging because of the more complicated moves. Doing them is also building my finger strength back up again.
