hitting a stride?

3 January

Today was a good day – I really feel like I’m starting to hit my stride here at Hueco – I’m feeling strong(er) – for sure than when I came here – starting to put serious burns in my projects. I tried a new problem today – a techy highball with decent (some would say bad) crimpers….I almost second goed it and think that I can maybe do it next fresh day (I’m going to climb again tomorrow – being two days on and see if I can do it then)

Life is definitely good here – I wake up whenever – go into the park until my skin and or muscles hurt – then come back – make myself some rice – work on photos, write in my journal, read…yah – life is definitely tough =)

So what do I do on my day-to-day? Well – I’m getting really good at foosball – its like – the thing to do at Hueco – we don’t have internet – there’s fires of course- but not all the time – we watch movies on Weds nights – and we .. well… play Foosball…. Yup…and I’m getting pretty OK at it… got my cross pattern 3 bar shot down pat…and my 2 bar dump…I’m still pretty bad with my 5 bar.

Ok – its totally 830 and I’m tired – its been dark for like 3 hours – so its time to hit it…..tomorrow I’m gonna climb two days in a row…and then either take two rest days or climb 3 days in a row – I think I’m getting to the point where I can probably handle 3 days…

We shall see though….I sorta took an easy day today – though skin was definitely the limiting factor today.

I decided to take a rest day after all – I woke up my “See Spot Run” crimper was still hurting…heading into town here in a bit – gonna give my NM pass to someone first though – then gonna jetta on it.

Oh – and the girl in the photos was the one hit by the Roman Candle in the face.
