Bouldering Competition

I entered and won my first climbing comp. this weekend! I entered in the beginners class with my good friend and climbing partner Isaac.














 I could not convey in words the great time I had this weekend with my family and friends at this event. The comp. was held at Hester's climbing gym in Louisville, KY. Afterwords we all went out to a much deserved dinner at Simply Thai. Whose menu was loaded down with all sorts of vegetarian options! I have to say that I feel I am in the best shape of my life and am only getting more fit everyday. I know, for a fact, that switching my diet to a vegetarian diet and being a avid daily practitioner of yoga has gotten me this far. Also the peace I have made with myself and others is really a plus as well. I posted a pic of our new ropes and shoes... Mine is the Blue/Grey Sterling Evolution Kosmos 10.2 and Isaac's is the Metolious Monster 10.2 is Isaac's... Also the La Sportiva Solution's our mine. I love these shoes big time... They are like cheating. Also I am training for an official marathon in St. Louis in Oct.  My sister and coach is training me wisely. She is also training my wife (a tri-athalete)... Which is super awesome. I thoroughly love running... Seriously. I have to stop from over-running early into this training and it is difficult. Until next post nobody!!

On into February!

Hello to absolutely nobody!!!! Anywho, I've been having a great time lately! I hope you have too, no matter what state the world is around you. Some new news (ha... redundancy)... My friend Brian and his wife had their first child, his name is Erik!
 Congratulations to them! My son had his Tonsils & Adenoids removed recently. He is recovering fine and doing very well. My wife is still working with a trainer on her fitness conditioning. She also has started practicing yoga on pretty much a daily basis... I started taking classes with a personal yoga instructor and I could not be happier! My mind is being opened up to more and more things within the practice of yoga, I find it creeping into other aspects of my life more and more everyday. I also have started climbing specific period training in preparation for the oncoming season. I feel myself getting stronger and stronger everyday!! Also to boost my training and motivation I entered a bouldering contest in Louisville... So I have a good amount on my plate but love the challenge. Be safe.
