The last few days.

Holy crap, a weekend without climbing something, I did manage to get in some running however.
Saturday evening was spent in Evanston at "Tapas Barcelona" celebrating Reese's birthday. In short, the food and company was exquisite, and fun times were had by all. (Couldn't get everyone in the picture (sorry ya'll)). Talks of climbing, work, school, and life in general went on as plate after plate of yummy food was brought our way.

Sunday I woke up with a head cold, being stuffy I opted not to run and spent most of the day shopping and cleaning the house in hopes to beat the damn cold. Monday morning I woke up feeling a bit better and opted to run. I did a quick 2.15 miles...that turned in to ugh...I had a hard time breathing and kept hocking up all sorts of crap, which I think might have been good in the end. Tuesday evening was spent in the climbing gym. I felt ok, because it was the evening and all that mucus crap was out of my system. I finally did yet another climb (cleanly) that I have been working on for a few weeks, a 1.5 foot wide pillar that runs the full height of the wall. It's was bear, you need both strength and technique for this one. I wish I had a picture, but for those of you that have been to the Sport Complex you know which one i'm talking about. Here's hoping to feeling better by Saturday since i'm going to Devil's Lake again.

Also, a big congrats to Matt for his success. Keep going buddy, it only gets better!

Sleep.....a lot.....

Today was restful and stuffing.....
This morning I woke up to 35 F degrees and rain....a lot of rain. I let the dogs out to go to the bathroom and they had different plan. Lets run across the field and try and find their buddy Porky Pug (my brother inlaws dog) to see if he can come out to play. (People who say that dogs are not like people are crazy). So I put on my hiking boots, rain coat and still wearing my pj's I took off across the field after them. They are good dogs, but the weather here the last 2 days and the 6 hour car ride, has given them cabin fever and they just wanted out. As soon as they saw me they came right back and followed be back to the Huff's. While drying off I had some coffee and breakfast......Watched "A Christmas Story" a few times. Ate dinner/lunch around noon. Around about 12:30-1:00...I fell a sleep on the couch. I only remember a few things, bits a pieces of "Office Space" and at one point one of the dogs had jump on the couch with me and slept under my legs for an hour..(I think) I woke up about 5:00-5:30. Apparently I needed sleep. I think i'm going to start focusing on getting at least 6 or 7 hours a night.
