The weather still sucks. And I broke down and went to the gym today. This weather better let up soon or I'm gonna have real issues.

WELLLLL.....the weather is still not looking good for opening day at coopers. HOPEFULLY it will blow over and conditions will be good. I plan to not go to the gym anymore this semester. It kills my hands and really doesnt motivate me at all. I am excited about the posibility of climbing outdoors 4 days a week though.

My fingers are still hurting from the Governor's Stable comp. I some how or another pissed my nerve endings off in my fingers and they are still shouting. I've had to be careful these past couple of days to not get them close to anything hot. I've also had limited useability too, which is a drag. But it's getting better. Soon, they will be rock hard again.

Without much new to talk about, I'll just get to posting a picture.

This is the first day of a new journal. Hopefully I can keep up with things and post regularly. Today I'll keep it simple. This past weekend I competed in the Governor's Stable Outdoor Competition. It was a blast and I got to meet a TON of cool people and climb a lot of great problems. Hopefully I will get to see some more of those people more often!
