Night 38/25
I woke up in a tent cabin in Curry Village this morning. In Yosemite Valley. That one, there is only one. I am very far behind on my night out updates. But I am making headway. At least this morning. I woke up at 5:00a.m. to Javier's snoring and there was no getting back to sleep.
We are out on a 3 night vacation without our daughter. We stayed the first night camping at Grover Hot Springs and the second at Devil's Postpile, a geologic feature he has wanted to see for 20 years, a feature I saw for the first time almost 20 years ago.
Does a night in a Curry Village tent cabin count? By the standards I set out at the beginning of this season it most certainly does. By the standards of what I want now after 38 nights of sleeping on the ground (ok, Curry has summer camp style beds) it does not.
I need a walk, a long one. Maybe right now that means 4 nights and maybe it means 20, but I need a really long walk. I do not know if this is going to happen before next season. If it does not I will survive. I will get my running mileage back up, I will get my diet back on track, I will be ready for it. I will be ready so that when I hit 7,000 feet in elevation and my lungs are sucking in shallowly, but trying to deeply i will not be able to blame it on anything but the elevation. I'll be back to running all those hills, making the morning gym classes (yes, even the 6 a.m. spinning) and getting all the yoga I can make the time for.
Nothing else to be done but make this season as long as possible and keep reaching for the next one.
