Getting back in to things...

All summer I trained for Canada. Now I need to get back in to training for me. (I think of them in one of the same however) Back to running and lifting and watching my food I still have hopes of reaching 200lbs by the end of the year.

Starting with my poison ivy, these last few months have taken a toll on my body. I still have some residuals from the ivy, including some breakouts every now and then. I managed to pull a hamstring while doing squats. With the seasons changing over my knee has developed it's twice a year dull hurt while it's moving. (I had a ski accident when I was 12 and cracked my knee cap and tore a couple ligaments, was not my fault either. I was standing in a lift line and got plowed by a lady who could not stop.) It's hoping to be a good winter though.

I'm planning on hitting Devil's Lake and working on my aid climbing skills (for fun) and winter climbing skills. The winter climbing skills are in preps for (hopefully) next year trip to the Canadian Rockies.

Might even be dabbling in some vertical ice...
