It has been a little while since I updated so I thought I would write out a few of my thoughts.  It has been a whirlwind of a new year with work, starting training, getting injured and trying to map out what the next few months will hold for me.  At work we just finished up a bit of a stressful release which took a bit of massaging to get it out the door.  I am going to be taking the next three days to spend some time in Seattle and catch up with some old friends and recharge myself a bit.  I haven’t really gotten much good downtime over the last few months and I am hoping that these few days will be a bit rejuvenating.

One of my major goals for 2009 is to climb a V10 by the time the year is out.  I started out this year by doing some training and making a few doctor appointments to make sure that everything was healed properly etc…  Unfortunately I was told that my tendonosis has not healed from late last year and I am going to have to spend the next 2-3 months recovering from that.  Over the course of the next few weeks I am mostly going to be focusing on running and perhaps yoga instead of climbing as I had planned before.  It seems like as I get older my body just doesn’t seem to hold up as well as it use to.  I have been dealing with one form of injury or another consistently over the course of the last year and a half.  Hopefully doing the right things for my body for the next few weeks and focusing on physical therapy I will be able to get my body to the point where I can focus on being active and climbing again without a high risk of injury.
