quite up there...

the south kaibab trek has done wonders...its temporarily gotten me out of the slump, temporarily instilled some kinda sense of achievement n temporarily raised the awareness levels on current fitness n stamina ;) but hey, heres the gud thing - its permanently reinforced the fact that slowly, but surely, i'm going bonkers...to embark upon that trek with the reeboks on, a blister on my toe, on that icy trail, all of 3 ft wide, without a pair of gloves on, at temperatures near freezing - boy! what am i trying to prove? atleast when i went skydiving at 11000 ft, there was this iota of a sense of safety...with the tandem jump instructor hooked on to my suit n a spare set of chutes n all that....but here? one slip and the 3000-odd-ft sheer drop wuda gulped me...poof!...maybe i needed something like this to change tracks...to stop thinking abt all the bad thoughts...maybe the canyon was the right thing to do...afterall, the feeling afterwards is one of pure joy, relief, freshness...till the next bout of craziness atleast...
