Pure Bliss

See that? That's my heaven (is that blasphemous? oops).

I went climbing yesterday for the first time in a month since the most recent hip drama. I took my last evil pill last night (of course i felt sick this morning. It couldn't let me have my last dose peacefully.) David and I were planning on climbing today but then my friend called and said he was coming down yesterday and I went a day early. David didn't come but it was still great! We went up Rock Canyon and just climbed a really easy route. Outdoor climbing is my all time favorite and I haven't climbed outside since before my mission so it was nice to be doing what I love again!

Pure Bliss :)

The route we did is super easy, a 5.6 (ratings range from 5.0 - 5.15), but it was still really fun. I climbed it once and then I decided that i was brave enough to lead it. (If you don't understand the terms I'm using go here.) I was a little scared because it had been so long since I've lead. Before my mission I could lead a 5.10b without a problem and now a 5.6 scares me. Nice. All in all it was a great night and will be repeated often in the future (i hope).

Clip. Yup I'm leading!

Also, I was worried about my hip hurting today. (Last night was kind of the trial run on doing stuff with my hip again.) Well, other than normal soreness from working out after being pretty much sedentary for a month, I'm feeling great. My hip doesn't hurt at all! Yay! Maybe I'm fixed. I want to start running again gradually but I'll hold off on that until I talk to a doctor. But I can live without running if I can rock climb!

Butt Shot :)

I was so happy when I got finished climbing! It was wonderful to not feel like a tub-o-lard anymore! I think I'm addicted to working out. Oh well. There are much worse things to be addicted to right? It was the perfect evening activity! I love summer! I can't wait to graduate and just work and always have my evenings be my own! 4 more classes :)

Sunset from the bottom of the climb. Beautiful huh?!
