Pumped

So, I'm super pumped...as are my arms...infact, at the moment I'm having difficulty typing as I can't feel my arms. I was training in the gym (in the backyard) tonight, feeling lazy...tired...would have rather watched a movie with my wife...but anyways, so training in the gym...all of a sudden i felt like pushing...real hard. My goal was to last 30 mins of continuous movement by the end of November...well, I stomped it tonight, Oct. 25th. I'm a month ahead of time. I thought it was going to take a lot longer, but i found that by focusing I was able to keep moving. I feel progression, I feel stronger. But now, what I must realize is that I need to start focusing on my weaknesses. I have to be a well rounded climber, not just strong in one area.

I think I'm actually starting to like training, most likely because I feel that I'm moving ahead. A goal for me is to "compete" this year at Ouray Ice Festival. Ouray is a festival where most of the best of the best come from all over the world and prove why "they're" the strongest. I'd like to show the Euro's why Canadians are stronger. Yeah! I have two months before Ouray. I need to keep pushing if I'm going to "compete". I need to stay focused.

My fingers hurt. The skin on my hands is hating me. My shoulders are numb. It's cold outside. But it doesn't matter. Because I love climbing.
