"i put a spell on you."

today, a friend jokingly said to me "we'll see how long your climbing phase lasts." i responded with a smug and simple "ok."

why the simple "ok"? well, because i know im hooked.

i did three 20 minute lap sets today and felt great. i was happy just going up and down a 5.7 and a 5.8. nothing overly challenging, but there was a certain comfort being in a space that's become so familiar.

when i walk into the gym, or take a hold of that first hold on rock, i feel connected in a way that's i haven't really felt before. it's put a spell on me.
