for once, me and josie can finally say that one of our notorious adventures was a success. yes, crazy i know, but we have proof of its success. for a few weeks, weve been meaning to go rock climbing. we pass the terribly scary walls everytime we go in the Rec, so of course that had to be put on our "adventure to do list". well, today it finally happened. josie conquered her fear of heights and i conquered my fear of doing something athletic.
we went rock climbing.
we were scared to death to go in there and sign up. so after assuring the working people many times that we would be terrible at it, me, josie, our harnesses, cute climbing shoes, and our new friend joey began the adventure. (joey was our "hold the rope and teach us how to do it" person. i forget the correct name, sorry joey) josie went first. and got all the way up in under 2 minutes. and then i went, and did the same. so we felt pretty fantastic about ourselves! we got upgraded to the next level, and that continued for about an hour. basically, WE ROCKED. well another hour and 7 more climbs each passed, and our arms finally gave in. thats tougher work than i was expecting! but for the whole 2 hours, alexis and laura sat there and watched and cheered us on. it was so great. (thats why they get to be in the title).
as im typing this, my hands are still sore to the touch, the blisters are forming, and i cant lift my arms up over my head. its pitiful. but...
we had another successful adventure, and for me and josie, thats all we really live for.
we plan on getting a whole semester pass for the spring and becoming somewhat decent rockclimbers. and just in case you were wondering, 2 hours burns approximately 1500 calories. yeah..
josie, good job. your the best adventure partner i could ever ask for. alexis and laura, thanks for supporting us. and joey, thank you thank you thank you.
