I'm in. Took my hangover for a hilly 40 minute trail run yesterday in the midsummer heat.

It came out of it in better shape than I did, but it's a start.

30 min in pool, alternate lengths of crawl and breaststroke. Felt like hard work.
12 hr nights this weekend which will make it hard but I'll endeavour to squeeze something in.

Brean Down today. Best winter venue in the UK? First tie in for 2 months indoors or out so fairly useless. Didnt do anything new and got spanked trying a sandbag 7b+, but good to get back on rock. Tommy was climbing poorly too. Locals a bit meh. Knackered at end.

Couldn't do yesterday due to full day of commitments. But I'm in if I'm allowed to start a day late.
Climbed outside for three hours
100 pressups, pullups, situps and leg raises in an hour.
Thirty minute +20kg BM session.

Does this mean unfriendly? Was it difficult to get on routes?

Basic Yogalates core then sun salutations at 6, then first free weights for 3 weeks. Added in a few new excecises... Got tired 30 mins in. Kept going.

Soo tired after, protein shake then back to bed for an hour!!! living the dream by nearly being sick in the garage at 7 this morning, but at least it's not far to get back into bed!

Hope to get out on the grit tomorow..

Yeah unfriendly / uncommunicative except to pull me up for using the situ crab on the belay when Tom top roped up after me which seemed pedantic as the wear caused by a 42kg boy would be minimal compared to most who loweroff

Dragged my sorry arse out of bed at lunchtime to the wall for an hour and a half - good session actually, felt light and springy and got three things I'd been trying a couple of days ago finished. :-) Back in bed now before work later :-(

The Parkrun I did at Taunton today was the worst I've done - muddy tracks and paths that were waterlogged for long stretches.

I may as well join in with this.

On the 1st I ran for about 5 minutes to get my car from a friends, but given my state it was probably worth more. I also woke up in it so probably shivered enough to make up the extra...

Yesterday I ran to and from work so approx 35 minutes.

I also did my first park run today and managed 20:33 which I was pretty pleased with. Also ran to and from it which added about a Mile either side.

5k is either too short to make up your 30min, or you're going so slow it doesn't count (unless you've done a JM and run to and from)

31mins 58secs.  8)

I'm very unfit currently and my legs were quite sore after. Scarcely did any running last year.

Normally I run with my daughter and do it in about 29mins though I did try a few years ago and did it in 23 mins.

Had a 75 minute Ashtanga Yoga class this morning. After many years of doing no stretching/flexibility work it was pretty awful.

What the actual fuck? NAW you nutcase!

Anyway 40min at the wall before work - Sharkathon is all that got me out of bed for this, but do feel better for it, and even managed a couple of things I'd not done before.

30 mins yoga, then epic fail reaching the plantation.. Rear well drive van to icey road interface disaster...

Random collection of classic problems at burbage north, culminating in failing to get off the ground on the terrace. Good day.

I only started yoga a couple of months ago after years of ignoring all attempts by people to get me stretching. It does get easier quite quickly, once you learn to use your in breath to do the stretching.

Went to the Climbing Station in Loughborough today for a few hours. Sharkathon is working!

That's reassuring as I'm hoping to carry on with it as it should help avoid injuries!

They do a beginners course but it's on a Sunday evening which is when I'd like to be returning from trips... So I might try and fit that in with my plans. There's also a monday course but it's Beginners 2 so a little more advanced but that might work better time wise.

I suppose this is only one place though and there must be tonnes of studios in Leeds offering similar stuff!
