M - Nowt
T - Nowt
W - Nowt
T - Depot session, a bit lacklustre but improved at the end
F - Nowt
S - Trip to Whitby for the football
S - Caley session, was all rather green and damp - in retrospect should have gone to Almscliff really. Wound up failing lots, then sacked off trying in vain in favour of an easier circuit.

STG: Font in 2 weeks
M: 4x4s at the Foundry
T: Works.
W: Nada
T: Works - Good session on the comp wall, some campus work and the new black circuit
F: Works - short session on easy circuits
S: Cocking Tor & Turningstone edge. Bit warm, Pagan Cross was the only notable tick.
S: Cratcliffe - Some refined beta saw me falling off from the slopy dish on T Crack. Unfortunately I had to leave at short notice which was frustrating as felt like I was getting close. Some fingerboarding in evening.

Didn't do much last week.
So, STG#1 - Make it to today uninjured. Tick!
#2 - onsight Fr7b and quick redpoint of 7c in el chorro - find out next week!!
Mon: nowt
Tues: went to weem for some easy/mid grade sport cragging to get back in the groove, but weather forced us to dunkeld. Ticked AK old nemesis, the chopping block at Fr7b. 3rd rp after one dog. Also had a few burns on banish feds, Fr7b+. Shoulders/upper back felt weak.
Wed: nowt.
Thur: 3 hours mountainbiking, then ratho session. Short. Only managed 5 routes, not climbing well.
Fri: climbing at gcc. Felt weak, but somehow managed to flash an easy Fr7b so can't be too weak!
Sat: nowt.
Sun: boulder at Glasgow climbing academy, some circuits, and just generally larking around trying to flash everything. Felt better.
El chorro on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!

W
T
F
S
never drinking again.
S Cheddar, took ages to work out the moves on a surprisingly good 7c+, with suprisingly nice holds. linked it in 3 overlapping sections, but was far too spannered to have a serious RP. Will hopefully get back on it soon.

M - Run
T - Arch light rehab. Shoulder sore
W - Shoulder exs.
T - Run, shoulder exs.
F - Shoulder exs.
S - Coaching with the Bonkers Grit Primate. Also snuck out of class and did some soloing.
S - Whipsnade Zoo with the lad, run along Dunstable Downs. Monkeys even better than Johnny.
Shoulder still iffy.
Coaching session was very good. I had been worried how an arch-rationalist like myself would take to it but there were some very interesting ideas and it all made good sense. Now to attempt to put it into practice...

Too much work again, but I'll take it while it's there. Uni holidays and public holidays mean that this should be the last really hectic week this year.
so STG - A few day visits and weather being good, a last camping trip to Font the last weekend of October. The missus is already getting nervous.
Monday - Friday - Nothing
Saturday - Hottee du diable near Soissons. Nice easy/ low/ family outing.
Sunday - Ache everywhere. Too much time indoors, not enough topping out practice.
Weight - Scales are buggered.

Goals (2011):
10 x 6C (5 done)
5 x 7A (2 done)
Any 7A+ or ideally a 7B
Injury rehab/prevention:
Stick with elbow/shoulder thera-band work
Work on knee and up running mileage again (update: knee is feeling good, but possible extensor tendinitis is now holding me back!).
M: BM: max hangs, core & theraband
T: 4m run
W: bouldering at NCC
T: 4.5m run
F-S: travel to Valencia for girlfriend's 30th - too much food and alcohol.
The kind of week I expected, will be the same this week. Feeling quite strong on the BM and climbing well indoors for me at the moment. Hopefully this will lead to a couple of ticks when I can get back out.

Goals... As of Monday they were: Half Decent (F7c) by the end of the season, F7c+ next season, F8a by 1st Jan 2014....... And 7B+ on grit.... However with the sudden drop in temperature prompting a monumental change in psyche it's going to take a real effort to drag myself to the Tor over the next 2 weeks especially seeing as I have to drive past a number of the eastern edges to get there.... So I might have to leave Half Decent for early next season
M: Tor - Full of cold, worked on Push Up - Ouch!!
T: Works - Worked on blue circuit and brown 7c - Good session.
W: Nowt.
T: Works - Worked on brown 7c and finished with foot on campussing - Destroyed.
F: Nowt.
S: Tor - Got on Body Machine - Got shut down, will think twice about TRing this as a warm up again as could hardly string 2 moves together. Worked on Push Up with new beta - Still hurts! Got drunk
S: Hungover decorating...
Not too bad a week but a bit demoralised after the previous weeks success. Was trying to work out a new project while shredding my skin and decided on Half Decent as it opens up a whole host of routes for next year, contains some pretty independent climbing and has a finish that I'm familiar with meaning it should (read: could possibly) go reasonably quickly... Just not sure my heart's in it this year now so might be one for early next season... Just gotta ensure that I keep up the AeroCap and PE training over the next 6-8 months so I'm not completely unfit if I do decide to call time on the lime...
This week: Bouldering and PE then decide on grit or lime for the weekend...
