wow... has been a very xiong week in relation to climbing... push-ups, dips, body tension (3 diff kinds), pyramid pull-ups, leg resistance, system training, endurance, routes, flash comp... whew! i'm getting stronger (hopefully)! ooh... but the muscle aches hurt. but tt also shows tt i've worked out! hehe... can feel that i'm improving, just lacking strength in comparison to the rest... haiz *shakes head* wanna buck up, but my fingers are kinda busted up, for now... bit swollen, but don't worry peeps, it's on the road to recovery! =p

i guess climbers are one of the world's most stubborn people? (haha, i aint sure for other competitive sports since this is the only one i've been). no matter how much u tell them to rest their injuries, take a break for awhile, they just won't listen. they'll still appear in the gym giving the excuse that they are just there to look at tiles and gain inspiration. well, give them perhaps less than 15 min, they'll be up on the wall in no time trying what the others are doing (tt includes me!) *shrugs shoulders* guess it's just our natural instinct to do so? haha...

okok, *hands up* it ain't tt i don't wanna listen to all my dear frenz abt how concerned they are for my well-being, but just tt i kinda know my limits and i don't wanna fall back too far off, ye? i still love ya'll! =] alrightz, here's a pic i found tt i think shows how wonderful and powerful climbing is. the scenery u take in when u're up there is breathtaking, but what makes the completion of the route even sweeter is that u know the hard training u've put in has all come into good use and has taken u far in the continuous growing process of climbing.
