Up in the air

What a crazy past few weeks. Starting school is intense. Forgot what it feels like to stretch my brain so much. I am enjoying learning a lot, few big tests coming up and I am trying to be as proactive as I can about them. School and a higher education is such an amazing gift to receive. So many people don't have my same opportunities. I am truly blessed.

Oh and I jumped Corona Arch again this past weekend :P WOOOO STILL STOKED!

We only get one shot at life. We may as well have a hell of a lot of fun, safely and responsibly!

Peak-ock

Just bagged Twin Peaks and a few other smaller summits last weekend.... but not before a peacock decided to steal the show.... In case you aren't aware, it is debatable if a peacock can even fly.... seeing one on top of an 11,000 ft mountain is INSANE. Its about as probable as seeing a great white shark in Yellowstone.

1 year later.

Well I started this blog a little over a year ago and I can honestly say that 54 posts, 1800 views later I have changed a whole hell of a lot. I have some grand plans of a few more blogs I want to start within this next calendar year and they won't disappoint. It is incredible to see how far I have come just in the past year. St. Thomas, Colorado, Paragliding, Skydiving, just to name a few. Thank you to everyone who follows my blog/life and gives me such kind words. You guys/gals are the bomb. Here's to hoping that this next year will leave me just as speechless as the last.

Taking stride

Awesome spontaneous hike this weekend. Went for a trail run to Cecret Lake, wound up bagging a peak, listening to Alp Horns, riding a tram, and failing at hitch hiking.

A thought I had, as I trudged back to my car from Snowbird.

If you can inspire yourself to achieve great things you have found the secret to life.

Sick and Tired

It is funny how big changes can be so spur of the moment. Today I had a that moment. I was driving home from work, and had the chance to reflect on the past few weeks.... My life is starting to stray from the path I want to be headed in. I have been slacking off on the exercise front. Only running once a week and playing hockey. I am pretty pissed at myself for not progressing my biking as I had hoped to this summer. It is time to focus my energy, stare my goals straight in the eye and achieve them. After months of going to bed anywhere from 1-4 in the morning, it is time to hit the sack at 11 wake up at six, hit the gym then get my ass out and fly before work.

Sometimes it takes being sick and tired of being sick and tired to bring about the best in us.

Follow

This summer has been without a doubt one of the most memorable times of my life. So many amazing adventures filled with some of the most amazing people I have ever met. You never know what will be your next big adventure.

Take nothing for granted

It is so easy to take things for granted. I try my best to stay positive, and be thankful for all that I have. This weekend had a funny way of slapping me around a bit to help me realize what is important.

 

On Saturday I had just finished probably the best mountain bike ride of my life, and on my way home I was struck with a killer headache. It persisted long enough/was painful enough for me to go to the Doc.

The next few hours would be one hell of a whirlwind. I was told that I might have an aneurism. 

WOW

It was a lot to process, after hours in the ER up at the University Hospital, blood tests and one CT scan later, I was released. The cause of the headache is unknown-no aneurism, but definitely a changed outlook on day to day life.

It is truly remarkable how fragile, yet resilient our bodies are.

At least I could lay on the hospital bed and think how amazing the past month had been. For people in the same situation I was in, I think that is about as much comfort as you can ask for.
