It's not just writing that I've been slacking on, lately. I've also been slacking on eating right, riding my bike, and climbing, which has had certain, shall we say squishifying results on my body (not to mention unhappy results in my brain chemistry). But I'm getting back in line with all those things- Nathan and I are teaming up with a friend of mine to do a (relative) Whole30 this month. I say "relative" because we're electing to keep dairy in, and Nathan said the only way he'd do it was if he was allowed beers on Saturday, because it's football season. To which I replied Deal, because moderation in all things, right? Right.
So that's eating right. Riding my bike took a hit when I jacked up my ankle back in June, but it's been feeling much better, lately, so back on the bike with me. It's pretty much the same story with climbing, only with the added disincentive that was my climbing bros having had weird schedules all summer, so pretty much any time I was at the gym I was alone, and that just sucks and leads to limiting myself to like three routes before I give up in a bored and sulky pout.
Today, however, KB and I managed to hook up and I had the best day of climbing that I've had in a long-ass time- basically since my last outdoor trip, to French's Dome at the end of July. (yeah, I know- I should have blogged about that at the time. Sorry...) And that little trip resulted in an elephant-looking ankle, which today did not, so all in all, today wins. Yay winning!
Of course, now my hands are too shredded to practice the guitar, which I have also been slacking on, but still... one step at a time...
