Thanks...I don't want to hijack this thread...but I have been thinking of starting a new thread somewhere about training/recovery in the midst of really stressful times.

The blessing is that we (my brothers and I) were able to care for both of them for their last few months in their own home, and they were able to die at home as they had always wanted. It has been a helluva 6-8 months, and amazing to experience the huge impact on my physical recovery now that I have started working out again.

Back to climbing...I decided to go ahead and target the Shasta Summit Century as a fun and motivating goal, which is why I am trying to keep up with the climbing training!
