chip, chip, chip away for we aim to climb another day…
on the road WOD … ugh … it’s like maintenance rather than progress … i really miss the box and my peeps … it’s just not the same, really …
1m run
50 pullups
50 burpees
50 suitcase overhead squats (48lbs)
50 TTB
1m run
oooh... tough 4 days training in the boundary waters ... driving 9hrs each way … then carrying heavy packs (65/85) in subzero temps … long miles, nasty weather, and nasty terrain ... tough, but good expedition training this weekend ... it was very telling about where I am and what work needs to be done ... bulking up to 150+lbs may not be as much a priority as much as other goals I've identified given how technical the west rib route is and some tough decisions Matt and I need to make about the future in the next few months (http://www.supertopo.com/rock-climbing/route_photo.php?r=akdewrib&dpid=Pj01Pj84ISAl)
all life-changing things aside, this weekend was a good sniff test for ice fest competition in jan/feb, rainier in march/april, baker/hood in april, and (of course) denali in may ... as well as where our heads, hearts, and skills are at … good, but tough weekend
… will try to post more often, but matt and I have a lot of things competing for our attention these days … suffice to say that we’re doing well, but I honestly miss my coaches, my CF support system, and my friends

Week of 11 Nov: Long & Heavy
Long & Heavy
Travelled a LOT this week, but managed 3 long/heavy workouts.
Tuesday: 5k
Wednesday & Friday: 200-rep body weight WOD
Monday: squat ROM workshop
Sunday: 4.5mile, 40lb, 14min pace rucking ...
So the idea of doing all this endurance work and not enough strength work will prevent me from gaining weight ... but the truth is, I struggled the most with endurance when we climbed Denali and not necessarily strength. So we shall see...

keeping with the paleo diet, I’m finally getting into the swing. I let myself become such a junkfood junkie that getting myself to cheat only 1 day a week was a struggle
for me, it’s helping me recover more efficiently and lets me work harder (ie, less suffering during workout). got a routine finally and now matt is on board… more on that laer
