Sanitas Zen

December 5, 2007

“The secret of this kind of climbing is like Zen. Don’t think. Just dance along. It’s the easiest thing in the world, actually easier than walking on flat ground which is monotonous. The cute little problems present themselves at each step and you find yourself on some other boulder you picked out for no special reason at all, just like Zen.”

~ Jack Kerouac

Pre Sanitas Thoughts

November 20, 2007

Jen says it’s 44 degrees and to a Californian that means “ice age”

Maybe I should really buy gloves

Mark is one fast man

My legs are strong, my legs are strong, my legs are…ahh forget it

I sandbag so I can exceed my low expectations

Now off….

Thoughts while almost dieing…I mean “running”

- Jesus, I wish I had prayed more this morning

- False summits suck

- Beer…mmmmm…beer

- Where is Mark?!? That bastard!

- Don’t fall, don’t fall, don’t fall

- It’s all over in 20 minutes, or maybe 30

- I wish I had four legs

- Damn I’m short

- Holy cow this is cool!

- Stop thinking and just go already
