The Secret to Happy Training

I have been psyched on training for climbing, and even though my beloved Rachel Orth, and my beloved Rachel Strate have both deserted me for greener pastures (sad, sad days for me), I have been getting amped with visiting, roadtripping Brit Steve Honeyman.

Having a fun, supportive, motivating person to train with makes all the difference, and I've been really amping to get into super shape and hopefully propel that onto some real rock in March (Bishop anyone?)...of course all of that hinges on all of our canine drama that we cannot seem to escape.

For me the secret to happy and productive training (well, really just climbing) is surrounding myself with good people with no egos, and people that realize climbing is fun! My other major secret, and perhaps I shouldn't divulge, lest the masses flood the gym, is going during the day with a few friends when the gym is empty....for me this is as much fun as it is productive.

I'm hoping to take a trip down South for some new bouldering areas- Duncan, if you are reading this, let's GO!

And this link probably won't work, but this pic is a hilarious oldie but a goody, me bouldering with a harness on and a huge ass chalk bag dangling behind me- good times!

I love this post!

I am so glad you are having fun bouldering with Steve... he is a rock star! Plus, probably a perfect training partner for you since my lazy bum hasn't been motivated for months.

Rock on, lil chicka!

Dude, you KNOW I'm psyched! I'll show you all of the spots. (I even stumbled onto some new areas the last time I was down there that we need to check out.) Quit your job, let's go!

Is the chalkbag clipped backwards with a carabiner...?

I want to train. I have that good finger board workout. Give me two weeks for my finger to get better and I will pretend that my injury is why I can't catch up to you, not because of your mutant strength. Cerre (using Luke's id)
