Storm Coming?

March 9, 2010 by Alli Rainey
On a morning as lovely as this one, it’s hard to believe in the forecast for dire weather arriving sometime later on today. And yet, I’m somewhat interested to see what this unstable storm system will bring; for some reason, the violence of natural weather phenomena has always fascinated me,

Mind Control

“…e create most of our unhappiness through our negative thoughts. … e are all the time creating problems that do not exist.” (from Super Consciousness: The Quest for Peak Experience, by Colin Wilson) The above quote sums up the root of the problem for so many people in this world, or

Progress

What a difference a rest makes I took off one, two-day cycle of training—and still, I bouldered more than I have been last week, adding in an extra session. Plus, I had that cold to deal with (which is still lingering, but definitely on the way out now). But no matter,

Feeling Better

March 6, 2010 by Alli Rainey
I’m still sneezing, but definitely feeling better this morning after a rough day yesterday of feeling congested and just worn out. I can tell my energy has returned, though, because climbing sounds fun again, and my body seems up for it…and possibly even for training today or tomorrow. I’ll gauge

No wonder my energy levels dropped off this week—my body’s fighting a cold. Always happens, just before the cold starts to take hold, at least for me. I’m not sure if the cold comes first or the tiredness, actually. It’s entirely possible that I get really exhausted, and this makes

March 4, 2010 by Alli Rainey
I woke up after nine hours of sound sleep this morning, feeling much refreshed, especially after doing nothing for training yesterday except for taking Jedi for a walk and stretching. I actually feel so good that I’m already contemplating having an extra bouldering session in the gym today—mostly because it’s

Listening to the Body

March 3, 2010 by Alli Rainey
Ultra-tired this morning after yesterday’s two bouldering sessions. Heck, I was already feeling tired to start with, before I even bouldered. But the sunshine heating the gym for session number one was absolutely divine—we kept gravitating over to the warm concrete (normally an area that’s avoided, since it’s cold on

Low Energy Day

March 2, 2010 by Alli Rainey
Sunshine and 50 degrees yesterday; I could definitely get used to this. Still, I had a very low-energy day yesterday. I started out alright, answering a bunch of climbing coaching students, and then writing an article. But then…nothing—no creativity. So I decided to go for a run in the sun
