Alternate Routes - Day 28

Again the path was slippery fell down got back up.  Same as yesterday. Did my mantras when it was tough.  Forced myself to do them when it was easy. Took a few alternate routes which was fun. Had a new set of thermals today. Fourth Element Subxero panys. Worked great. I knew they would because I use the for scuba to, and I wear Fourth Element all winter long. Great gear made by great people :-)

Slippery Slopes - Day 27

Very icey again today. Going up not so bad. Coming down really rough. Fell down and got back up!!!! Sometimes you have to take the slippery slope s to get the big pay offs :--)

Rainy days and sundays - Day 26

Lol... I just got that. Rainy days and "sun" days. I wonder if they meant that to be like that. Rainy days and sundays always get me down.... fuck that!! When you are inspired you keep on trucking. On that note, I am going to share my favorite quote with you all.

"When you are inspired buy some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations,  your consciousness expands in every direction,  and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.

Dormant forces, faculties,  and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be" - Patanjali

My wave - Day 25

A beautiful day on the trail! Today I had an added treat. I had a few good old friends accompany me. Soundgarden, The Vaughn Brothers, Jim Collins, and many more!! I recently found my old Ipod and brought it with me. Great for a change of pace :-)  Thanks Apple :-)

L - Day 24

Lisa is a ver awesome and active woman whos spirits are dampened by her pain. I ask you all to send her your love this morning :-) Thanks for being so great Lisa. All the best.... this hike is for you!!

Don't push - Day 23

Have you ever seen those bumper stickers that say "Don't Push"? Essential they are saying stay off my ass because your causing me to much stress. Lol. Well I realized I was the pusher. Not in the Steppenwolf way(lol) but the bumper sticker way. Pushing myself so hard that I couldnt think straight, my stomach hurt, my knees were in pain. I realized I needed to relax. All my goals wilk come in the right time.  Plus a little perspective.  My goal here is to go up and down that mtn. 60 times.  Not under 60 minutes or running or standing on my head. The faster times and the weight loss are not the main goal. Just VERY happy accidents. 

Snow Job - Day 22
