no strike!

Yes they avoided a strike. That means that all the work we put off for later this week during strike break has to be done pronto! Projects, assignments, tests. So that means still no climbing. I might be able to visit the prestigious Ice Box bouldering facility this week so that is motivating. Grades? They use new age grades there which is why they scare most climbers away.
Running is still happening despite last week's iliotibial band injury. I've come up with a plan to run the marathon (knock on wood) with my training program. I am now running with a pace of 6.5min per km which is slower but causes less stress on my right knee. I am also taking short strides to reduce the friction between the band and my knee. I have 13 days left before the marathon and I read that they have medical staff every few miles along the course so I am good to go.

Oh and I am still happier being in school than working in the snow like 2 years ago. Snow is coming soon I can feel it. Bouldering season might be short this fall.
