  • 1 V3 attempts

  • 6 V2 attempts (2 each on yellow SB short - I got further on it than I've done before! orange SB cave. green SB long slab)
  • 6 V1 sends 
  • 1 V0 sends
Tuesday - Sent Wes off on his mission this morning. Corey took ALS to the temple tonight, so I left N in charge and went on a walk at 8pm, one hour long, 3.23 miles. 

Wednesday - Bouldering this morning after Skyline carpool, I did 25:
  • 2 V3 attempts

Thursday - morning walk, 2.91 miles, 44 minutes, listened to "Hallelujah anyway" on repeat

Friday - Bouldering this morning after taking Lily to Skyline early (it was late start for the rest of carpool)
  • 3 V3 attempts - 2 of those were on a new purple one that I think I can get with a bit more endurance - left me totally wasted! it's a V2 and a V3 depending on where you start, I was able to do it from the V2 part, not the V3 yet, but I'll get it!
  • 7 V2 sends
  • 3 V2 attempts 
  • 4 V1 sends 
  • 2 V0 sends

Jan 22 - 27

Monday - bouldering during violin, 15 sends, there were two new V1s, so I did those and now have all the V1s done again. Most of my usual V2s, no V3s today

Tuesday - quick jog/walk to sunrise point after carpool but before kids left for elementary school - 2.34 miles in 27 minutes

Wednesday - lots of housework. I moved up Katharine's toy kitchen up two flights of stairs by myself! 10 minutes of stretching

Thursday - bouldering this morning, 18 total - 16 sends, 2 attempts. I believe that the green V2 on the south side of the north boulder is hereby impossible. There were new routes in the OG sector, tried a Red V3 that is where the black V2 used to be. Hard, but maybe doable? I might be too short. Lots of housework again. I moved two small filing cabinets (two drawers) up two flights of stairs by myself, oh yeah. Plus 20 handstands against the wall, held twice for 40 seconds, rest of them were just quick stable holds

Friday - quick toprope session at the Sandy Momentum after date night - Corey already exercised today, so he just belayed me. Did 5 climbs, two intros, like 5.8 and 5.9 I think, then I did 5.10a, 5.10c,  and a 5.10a cooldown which was really hard at the end. Good to feel maxed out. 

Saturday - morning walk/dance, 3.27 miles, 52 minutes, 1 achievement of my "3rd fastest time for 2 miles" (32:52) I did 200 walking lunges on the way home, 75, 75, then 50. Stretched for 20 min

Jan 15 - 20

Monday - At Brian Head today. Stretched this morning with Mel, 20 minutes, 5 min nose to knee each side, then repeat but with knee bent (not the knee I'm putting my nose to). then Skiing at Brian Head! It was fun.

Tuesday - Top Rope with Wes at 8pm, we both did 4 climbs. Green 5.10b, then the 5.10 c that I wasn't able to do last time. I had to take a break, and after struggling a bit I finally got over the lip. Then did a pretty easy yellow 5.10a. After those 3 we were spent, but I tried to go for one more, only got half way o up a blue 5.10c, woo! That is a workout! Then we shook it out and did some quick bouldering, I was able to go five V2s that have all been challenging, sent them first try, which is good since we were so tired. 

Wednesday - shoveled snow this morning, again this afternoon.

Thursday - two 10 min sessions stretching my back on the orange thing, 100 seconds hollow hold

Friday - climbing after carpool 1 V0, 5 V1s, 5 V2 sends, 2 V2 attempts, 1 V3 attempt that purple hanging one. Then took a walk after I got home, 2.52 miles, 47 minutes

Saturday - morning walk, 2.98 miles, 52 minutes, did 150 walking lunges at the end. Bouldering with Wes and Hyrum at 6:30, my last time with Wes!!! I'll miss you Wes!

Jan 8 - 13

Monday - climbing during violin. Daniel came with me. I was able to do that black V3 again. Got further on a purple V3. I probably need Wes to coach me through it. Started taking this happy hormone pack today. A friend says they've been a life changer. 

Tuesday - morning walk. cold, 2.43 miles, 47 minutes. 

25 minutes stretching my back on this TheraPoint orange lobster thing I ordered. "Eliminate your pain or your money back" (it feels so good, I fell asleep)

Wednesday - Snowed last night, spent an hour plowing the driveway then shoveling

Thursday - stretching 15 minutes

Friday - shoveled snow, then bouldering after carpool - did three V0s, 3 V1s, 5 V2 sends, two V2 attempts, 3 V3 attempts on the south boulder

Saturday - Momentum with Corey, we practiced clips on the exercise bike, then a little bouldering, did four V2s in the OG sector. Then we did top rope! It was the first time he was belayed, it was good! Did a green 5.10c that I've done before, then a purple 5.9, then tried a 5.10c and couldn't do it - something to shoot for next time.

Jan 1 - 6

Monday - Happy New Year. I took a 9am morning walk to the van, whereupon I learned that I got a ticket for parking overnight, doh. Borrowed Joseph's skis and clothes and did 3 runs on Milly's Express.

Tuesday - Walked to school with Natalie this morning. Bouldering at 2:30 while Corey did cardio. Did 23 climbs, 13 attempts and 10 sends. I finally did the stupid purple V2 in the OG "The 30 Prow" that is right on the edge by the bathroom with a really weird and big hold for the start. It is not a kind climb if you are short, but I finally did it, yay. Next time I'm going to try the purple V2 in the OG sector - it has a wide reach that is also not kind to me as a short person. I started it from the wide stretch part and was able to get to the top, and I can get to the wide stretch part from the beginning, so I'll try that fresh next time. 

Wednesday - 2.45 mile walk at 9pm. 44 minutes. Listened to Jody Moore podcast 207 on my walk. Two hoodlums in cars were chasing each other around the quiet neighborhood where I was walking, it was scary!! They were going so fast. It seemed like one of them was raged at the other and the other might have been trying to get away, they could have totally killed someone or crashed into a car head on cause one of them passed the other one on a corner. It was scary.

Thursday - climbing around 10:30 am, in the OG sector I attempted a white V4, a green V3, I'm getting closer to those. Today I finally did a purple V2 that's been eluding me, attempted it twice and then got it on the third try today. Total of 14 attempts on that one! It was good. 10 sends and 10 attempts for a total of 20 today. Knicked my pointer finger near the end, once I draw blood, then I'm done.

Friday - shoveled snow, didn't overeat, yay. Did a lot of housework today, organizing.

Saturday - Skiing at Sundance, our first time there, it was fun! Then climbing with Wes around 7 tonight. Check out this V4 he did! I did 19 total, I did a black V3 on the North boulder, attempted a green v3 that was next to it a few times. started with the three hardest V2 for me in the OG sector, did them again at the end.
