Hi Steph,

Glad to hear that your knee is healing, and that you’re getting something out of it! I just finished your book for the second time, and wanted to say thanks so much for the inspiration.

I’m in the process of switching to the MA track instead of
going through with my PhD, and moving out west to find a job and pursue a more balanced lifestyle- or at least one that’s unbalanced in terms of too much climbing, mountain biking and yoga versus holing up in a windowless office.
It’s great to hear from someone else who decided not to go the ivory tower route, despite external pressure, and makes the process much easier.

Take care,
Kat

Thanks for the good wishes! My knee is doing much better…..I’ve been icing it pretty much nonstop for the last four days, and it’s doing really well and close to pain-free already! Keeping my fingers crossed, and hoping to be running around again in a couple of days (if not necessarily skate skiing
I do always kind of like it in some strange way when I get slightly injured, because I feel like it always brings an important message that I need to be sure to listen to, and might not have heard well enough without the extra emphasis of getting hurt! In this case, to pay attention even when doing things that are not dangerous–it’s easy for me to be a little careless at those moments.
Thanks for the doctor info!
xx Steph

Wow, sorry to hear about your injury. You really are mortal after all.

I have a friend from my Yosemite days, Steve Jenevein, who could amazingly turn any weakness (or injury) into a strength. He was continually focused on stronger no matter what his situation was. His mentality and focus and drive still inspires me today.

Hopefully you won’t need it but one of the best knee docs around:

Steph,
Sorry to hear about you knee.
Be careful what rocks you lift up around that Juniper tree, as that’s one of my favorite pre-ritual Tombstone stops (I’m not kidding :).
I jump and lived in Moab this past summer. Reading your blog transports me back. Thanks.
