Klettertag

Smooth enough day, i'd reckon. Climbed today. Sent that thing i tried tearing my rotator cuff out on from sun. Got my lead cert for the gym today finally. That was kind'a funny. Had to clip everything right, of course; but i had to take a fall on the climb. my partner is this chick maybe sixty lbs. lighter than me. So i get up almost to the anchors, and the guy watching's like, "ok, just climb up to where the bolt's at yer feet and jump." So i say ok, and get up there and said take, and look down and she's got me locke off with probably six or eight foot of rope dangling. So i squinted a bit and said you sure you're ready? and she says yep, so i hucked off hard backwards and sucked her probably six feet off the ground and slammed into her. This is from the top of the route. guy doing the test said it was the coolest fall he'd seen anyone take on a lead test. Anyhow, i passed.

Still don't exactly know how to classify climbing exercise-wise. Is it a workout or is it nepa? At any rate, i anticipated wanting to gnaw my arm off before i was done and i put a scoop of surge in with my 2:00 HDS. Worked real well, and i was still on empty at 5:00. i'm hoping i sleep better tonight.

Still having trouble sleeping, eh? I really thought I was going to be awake for a month, but the last two nights I've slept harder than I have in years. Bryant says the Vallerium Root works well for him. Mike got some melatonin over the counter that he claims obliterates him. I don't think there is any shame in taking crack to help you sleep on this endeavor. It doesn't seem like you'll get the full benefits if you're not sleeping.

I've used the valerian root in the past and its like taking valium dipped in ambien dipped in morphine. I liked it. I've been so tired on this diet from workouts and working that I've gotten to sleep no prob at all.

oh by the way we're 20% done.. at least I am!
