it has been a long week here in the russell/nelson household, and come sunday we are expecting a third family the kurtz's. the house will be filled, and may burst at the seams.
but, all is beautiful and warm. spring is coming. i can feel it, and i am happy. the winters are always long, and even with major winter activities they still drag on. no; maybe drag is the wrong word, i do like the winter, so maybe linger longer then invited. yes. better. i am just ready for the sun on my skin, and to feel real and actual rock under my fingers again. hopefully training in the gym all winter gave me strength, and did not ruin my natural instincts.
i've never trained so hard in the gym before. being there wasn't a gym in ogden in which to train hard. so once a week or so, we'd drive down to the bustling city of salt lake, and train there. though mostly, we would climb outside. even in freezing temps. this year they opened a huge and amazing gym just down the street, complete with climate control and treadmills. everything needed to fain an actual experience. so, there i have been, climbing on brightly colored holds, with brightly colored tape, and clips approximately 3 feet apart.
i don't pretend it is real.
in truth the gym is amazing, and they have so kindly given me employment, so there is little to complain about. i do miss spring/summer/fall, and large mountains with large walls.
now, it is time to go outside, today i will begin.
