Climbed 'road to nowhere', 'brick wall',' tears of frustration', 'flub factor' and 'klutzomaniac' among others. the great thing about climbing, though, is its a good strength and flex workout no matter what you do.
speedwork - kept coming up w excuses - its too hard, I'm too much in a hole, fatigued, its raining, my achilles feels weird in a place it uss. doesn't, my knee feels wonky - wonder if its the ACL, already ran today, maybe tom. will be better, I can't do the full workout I should be doing, I won't put up numbers good enough for AP:), etc, etc. But the only way to get better is to start somewhere.
warmup, then to track. Alternating 2's (5x) and 4's (4x) w 2 min R

to recplex w headlamp, and back. thank goodness this particular manifestation of global warming is on its way out, (St. Louis is a bellwether) or I might have considered going back to CO...like endangered species that have to ascend in elevation to find conditions that approximate their native habitat.
