Mondays
Man, sometimes Monday’s really get you down, really down. After getting home late from the weekend festival and heading to work the day just didn’t feel right without my routine. I like being up early to do some morning yoga followed by a workout and breakfast. Training is a large part of my day. Followed by as much office work I can tackle while working my other job. Things seemed pretty crammed the last couple weeks and not much of it yielded the results I had hoped. The recovery is coming along great and the morning yoga is helping break up that pesky scar tissue.
I have the urge to climb more than ever and I feel like my level of motivation is finally starting to catch up to my desire to climb again. No one ever tells you how much hard work it requires to make climbing your life and no one will tell you how hard it is to recover from an injury either. Let’s be frank it’s not easy, not one bit. Your body fails quicker and your arms and legs shake sooner and the ground seems to always drop out from beneath you.
What many people also neglect to tell are the end results of pain, diligence, dedication ,and repeated failure and what it brings. The reward is never immediate and sometimes it seems like it will never come. But I’m still motivated. I’m still here ready to take on the world. I’m excited to get back to setting this week, finally able to climb my own problems again. It doesn’t take much to knock you out of your groove. You just have to be willing to get back to the training, get over the negative mindset and get those fingers moving. Off to set something fun. Graydon
