What a day! Based on my Batman watch, I think I broke 2 hours! A record! And a big thank you to my buddy Chris! As I was heading down to the race, my water bladder hose separated from the pack and water began streaming down my back like Shannon Falls! Fortunately, Chris filled it back up for me and sent me off to race. Best friend 🙂

This is what best friends are for! Thank you Chris for all your support and encouragement. I’m going to be looking for you at the top!

This afternoon I received a beautiful, handwritten card from playgroundbuilders.org. Playground Builders is a Canadian-based charity that designs and builds playgrounds for children living in war-torn countries. They’ve installed over 200 and counting! I became aware of their efforts through my dear friend Mr. Kirby Brown. Mr. Brown is one of the most generous and brilliant individuals I know and I feel very fortunate to have crossed paths with him. I am reminded through people, such as Mr. Brown, that the world is a place where one person can make a significant impact in the lives of others. Keep up the amazing work Playground Builders!

Redundant cussing: $10,000.00

I never thought I’d come across someone who heaved just like me! You are amazing girl. The Queen of Shitty Robots.

I know what I’m waiting for
Know what I’m living for
And I can’t ignore
Cause I know what I’m fighting for.

When life throws you a blank canvas…colour it!

In a handful of weeks I’ll be attending this event! I’m extremely excited about immersing myself in the climbing community and to learn and grow with others who share a similar passion.
