Monday - Climbing at 7:20 after Skyline carpool. Elementary kids were home today (end of term in the district?) so I didn't need to hurry home to get them out the door, so Natalie was in charge and I took my sweet time doing lots of climbs - 31 total:

• 1 V4!!! My first one! A White on the short end slab of the south boulder
• 6 V3 sends - most in the OG - I got the White, 2x Red, Blue, and a new Pink on the north boulder (pic below)- it was really hard but I flashed it! At one point on it, I had to kinda pistol squat with my left leg to get up high enough to reach the next hold, I was impressed with myself. Pic and explanation below. I also got the freaking Pink in the OG, hate that one though. Purple is gone, should be a new one there for me to try on Wed!
• 6 V2 sends 
• 13 V1 sends
• 5 V0 sends 
  

So with this pink V3 above, you start on the tag, then move to the two skinny triangles, then you gotta hold the one high on the right, and that's when I had to get my food on top of the first/left skinny triangle so I could stand to reach the big holds, wow! I was impressed with myself. I shared my victory with Wes. I must have been so excited that I didn't log it, cause I had to enter it late, so I thought when I left that I did 31 climbs, but with that one it's 31. Plus also did stretching for 30 minutes on yoga blocks while K played with the train at violin

Then for date night Corey and I went on a bike ride - exploring Parley's a little bit on the BST Granger Peak (Parley's Bench) side first (went until the trail was too muddy), then back down hill onto the paved bike path, over the freeway bridges to Parley's Pointe BST by the freeway, I think we barely made it up 1.6th of the trail. 5.82 miles total, 1 hour 2 minutes, 978 elevation.

Friday - Went climbing after dropping off Churchill carpool. I felt so great after (I did TEN V3s!) which is good cause we had a busy day ahead of us with the wedding dinner, so it was good that I was feeling empowered. Did 18 total:

• 1 V4 attempt (near the end of my session, just to see what I could do. I got half way up!)
• 10 V3 sends - first one I did today was a black V3 on the north boulder, and I got it! It was kinda easy, so then I did it again and got it, so I already had two V3s, I thought maybe I'd just do V3s most of the time today. I went over to do the blue one I've done before but it was gone, must have been stripped cause it was fairly new... but there was a new white V3 in it's place (in the OG by the bathroom wall), I tried it and got it! so I was feeling empowered with three V3s done - tried the Red and got, did the Blue (by the hot pink) and got that!!! Did the Purple 3x! And then at the very end I saw another new Red by where the orange V2 is, I thought I'd try it but didn't think I'd get it cause I was wasted, but I tried it and got it! Then I was at 9 V3s for the day, so decided to do the Purple one one more time for a total of 10. 
• 4 V3 attempt - one on the Hot pink, I've done before 2 others on a hot pink on the 40 wall which I have not done before, also tried a yellow 
• 1 V2 - warm up, new one by the white V3 I did today
