As an adult life gets in the way. You need to clean (we actually hire someone to clean our space), you need to take care of your stuff, you need to process the events that occur. Life is full of change but if you spend all your time processing the change, you won’t change yourself. Changing oneself isn’t an easy thing. It takes time and effort. What is stopping you from change? ...
For those who don’t know, I’m a little obsessed with AcroYoga. I found it about two years ago and I’m a certified Acro teacher now and teach at least two classes a week (hoping to pick up a third). There are already a bunch of really great resources out there for finding classes. Acromaps.com is one of my favorite. The problem I’ve found is that is often challenging to figure out what is current and what isn’t. I’ve gone to acromaps to find jams and hangouts that just don’t exist. ...
Javier Allegue Barros on Unsplash Life is Short, Don’t Wait to Dance is a nonfiction work by Valorie Kondos Field about her life, beliefs and coaching philosophy. This book covers her history as a coach, how she ended up as a member of the UCLA hall of fame and brought the best out of her athletes. This book is worth the read.

/assets/img/2018/12/IMG_6554.m4v Last weekend was the annual Battle for Bolts at the Planet Granite Belmont location. It’s a 12 hour overnight climbing competition. I was unable to attend the Belmont one last year, but I did do the Portland one. This was my first Belmont B4B, and I entered it with great anticipation. Rules: 12 hours of climbing You get bonuses for climbing at least 1 climb every hour Climbs are rated by level. You must climb the whole route form bottom to top without breaks for the points. You may only do a roped route 10 times throughout the night. You can do bouldering problems 20 times. You can only do each climb at most 2 times in a row to allow for more people to get the wall. About my experience this year This year I was part of team D-AR-E To Be Great! with Linda. Our set goal at the beginning was still to be there at the end. Basically, not get Evan to kick us out of the space.
