Just a quick dart in - Today is supposed to be a rest day, but Great Glutes came, so we will see what tonight brings :) Yesterday, did my two climbing hours on harder routes as planned- did a tough overhanging one twice, to strengthen those core and forearm muscles, made an attempt at crack...

Looks like I am up a pound in the aftermath of Spain, London, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. It has been worse!!!! But it is time to inch the scale down again. Yesterday, an hour of bouldering at the gym - working movement patterns and laps - and three miles of walking on local paths. So far...

Hi all, Shorter day at work and only a half day tomorrow and Friday, woo hoo! I invested some of the extra time in 90 minutes at the climbing gym, bouldering since no partners are required for that, and practiced mostly movement drills, laps, and polishing easier climbs. It would be great to...

Brrrr! I opted against a hike yesterday and posted my London pictures. Also did my Sunday climb with the indoor gang, and pulled out an impulse-buy dvd from Jillian afterwards, killer arms and back, because it was 30 mins and my arms were already tired. The basic level was perfect. Btw, Climbing...

How did we get so close to winter???? The fall is going so fast. I have another work trip in early December, with a weekend in California at Joshua Tree beforehand. Then 2017. Seems like no time left in the year. Today was unpacking and getting the kitties settled down, and dealing with jet...

Hi all, back from London! I had about three and a half days on my own before business, and had a busy-wonderful time! Highlights were a bike ride through London with a tour (felt so brave), three plays, four climbing classes in two day (so good!), and a marathon-worth of walking. Great trip :)

Michelle, everything you do right now is goodness. ((hugs)). I'm close enough to drive over on a Saturday and help, when in town, if that's ever useful. Or we could go for a hike! Billy Goat Trail??? Let me know if you want to, if you feel like it. Janie, great job on starting your new ICE...

Much activity! Did lower body blast standing prefix only, a climbing session where I managed a climbing sequence that is hard and scary TWICE (to convince myself it was possible), and five miles walking a moderately hilly trail. Beautiful outside! Cindy, you did Halloween right! You've been...

Hello all, I'm looking for DVDs to support my rock climbing habit :) I took that up not quite two years ago, and it's an amazing experience and activity, which I highly recommend! Still, it does leave me with imbalances, especially upper body. You use much more pull than push in the upper...

Good morning everyone! It's going to be a gorgeous weekend in Columbia, according to the forecast, so I'm heading out soon for a walk on one of our local woodsy trails. The week is shaping up nicely; I have a few days in the office, then headed to London - it's business overseas next week, but I...

Aaaaaaargh!!!! I wrote a nice long newsy post and my kindle rebooted!!! I will try again later. For now, hugs and waves to you all. I am swamped at work but the ICE upper body is staying, three times last week and yesterday am; also climbed twice and did an event safety class for climbers...

It's the usual challenge, returning to the real world after so long away! Work is as one would expect ... hectic ... and I'm not really comfortable with my usual walking paths with no daylight, so that's a challenge. Or maybe an opportunity to do more Cathe, like today! Sunday I did my climbing...

Hi all, I am back - what an amazing trip (Spain). But as active as I was, I still ate too much! I will post more later Best to you all and deep sympathy to Michelle ... so sorry.

Good morning all, I've moved to advanced Packing At The Last Minute rotation, and it is moving along nicely. Looks like there will be time to finish it without modification, assuming my printer will be kind, and work for me again ... Also, I went ahead and stuck with my 6am coached workout...

Cindy, thank you! Somehow and somewhen adventure and I became better friends ... I still pinch myself sometimes. That picture is from the spring, and is of me halfway up a route in the Cala Gonone region on Sardinia, Italy, on the east coast near the ocean. That was a particularly fun picture...

Hello all! Janie, thanks for the warm welcome back. Yes, you are right, I did always feel included on this team even when the gap between postings passed the year mark ... and I am so, so, so sorry for your loss. The people we grew up with have a special place in our hearts. It leaves a...

Thank you for the warm welcome back! So much fun to be here :) I did my regular Sunday climb in the gym - two hours, with two partners, which translates to roughly 40 minutes of actual climbing and 40 minutes belaying (holding the rope) for someone else, and 40 minutes resting. And, in honor...

Hi all, just checking in to see my old friends! I enjoy reading many of your Facebook posts, yet miss being part of this team :)

Hi all quick check in from my phone. No internet yet. But! I am moved into the new place at least in part one. Jeff arriving with Clara in a few days. Household goods from Idaho coming by the end of the month! Best to you all!

PS Here is Picante, assuming the picture attachment feature works ...
