14th: feeling ill but managed 15 min run, ie fail.
15th: 1hr at new wall in swindon (rockstar) new holds hard on the skin but some fun problems. Still feeling under the weather.
16th: 35 min cycle to garage, 2hrs at TCA for comp. Missed finals by 2 points, pretty pleased though, felt like climbed ok, especially considering how I was feeling the last couple of days

[AJM]

1/1 - an hour or so of lugging around and chopping up wood.
2/1 - Beacon for a wall session. Got pumped on the roof circuits.
3/1 - mix of generic pushups, weights and that sort of thing. My finger feels a bit sore from yesterday.
4/1 - Wall is all being reset so I do some pullup sets and then potter home, where I have a go at a 7:3 fingerboard session, which feels very hard in my current state.
5/1 - finger completely better. Turbo trainer session - Sufferfest "The Hunted". Hard work.
6/1 - wall. Good progress on several problems. Too busy to do stamina and had forgotten good shoes for the board. Some pullups.
7/1 - wall. More problems worked out for ancap circuit. Board. Then tried some triples bit couldn't really make it work, have to try different problems. Pullups to finish.
8/1 - wall. Too busy for stamina, again. Frustrating. Problems for the AnCap circuit
9/1 - wall. Thin skin. Pushed on and did the boulder circuit ancap session - first circuit felt fairly steady but shuffled the order round a bit and felt very worked by the end of the second set. Skin too trashed to do anything else.
10/1 - Cuttings. Some easier routes and a few goes on Hall of Mirrors. Got it in two but knee a bit sore so didn't have that extra go.
11/1 - went out at lunch for a walk - about an hour. Otherwise rest
12/1 - wall. Board session. Progress on projects. Rammed! Need these New Years Resolution folk to get bored of it! Wide pulls ad bottom pulls.
13/1 am - fingerboard2. Double pullups on a 19mm edge at 95.5kg. Improvement over last time. Last set tried to upgrade to 96.6kg, managed 1 pullup but not a second.
13/1 pm - wall. Tried linked boulders, managed a solid first circuit, stepped up the difficulty a bit. However, it was making my elbows sore so I went home and did rehab.

14/1 - nothing really - usual walk to/fro work
15/1 - ditto
16/1 - Cuttings boulderfield. Ticked first Fb7 of the year relatively quickly with Terminator (7A). First of many, I hope?! Lovely sunshine to start but then really cold once the cloud came in. Watched friends and others on Nightmare Scenario and Fighting Torque which have gone on the list as things to try over the next few months.

Technically maybe still on for Sharkathon completion but my performance on 14-15th was disappointing!

[the_dom]

Still on track despite the rather brutal heat here.

[tomtom]

Shit Webbo - what's happened?

[Duma]

17th: 30 min surf. Would have been more but temperature and domestic issues cut short. Not best use of a 4 hour round trip.
Also, 70 kg this morning - pissed off with that.

[webbo]

Shit Webbo - what's happened?

I was pulling on heel down knee bent and something went crack. I thought I'd ruptured my Achilles at first but I think I've torn something where it attaches to the calf muscle. I did something similar about 10 years ago, although this doesn't seem as bad. I can walk well limp fairly pain free and stretch it a bit, so I'm hoping that that it should clear up reasonably quickly. Last time it took about a month to get back to climbing.
Anyhow.
17. 20 mins stretching. 4,000 steps or limps round Beverley according to the wife's Fitbit.

[Muesli]

week one
At least 30 mins per day mostly bike with one run and one rowing machine session. Plus two 2 hours wall sessions. weekly average weight was 81.2kg down to 80.8Kg so a pretty slow start but at least heading in the right direction. Also all the Christmas goodies have gone from the fridge so things might pick up a bit now.

Week Two
At least 45 mins of cardio each day mostly bike or run and three two hour wall sessions. Weight rather variable but weeks average is 80.4kg

17 - 2.5 hours indoor auto-belay laps and bouldering. Mediocre, one auto belay line was down, the other two had only one decent mileage line between them (the others being bad climbing and too fall-offable). Had a strop and did a little bit of bouldering, felt weakish but not terrible. No skin loss.

Slightly less grumpy than yesterday as I have my car back at least.

P.S. Yes dense I am a bit of a pussy, despite being somewhat arsey I do value sociable vibes sometimes.

Have managed about an hour of light walking the last few days. Today I dragged the bags from the seedy end of Hua Hin to the hipsterish northern end, had a hand-dripped Ethiopian coffee, read the entire 'serious delirium' thread and sat by the pool.

On a better note I haven't had a drink yet, but I will when I finish this sentence.

[Falling Down]

Had my parents visiting for the weekend so had a busy schedule and didn't want to disappear off to the wall or gym.  Did a few press ups each morning.  On a plus note, I'd dropped 2.4kg since 4th Jan on the weigh in Saturday morning.

[SA Chris]

1 - weights session
2 - core and theraband
3 - CV session at home
4 - quick jog to try get some photos at breakwater in near darkness, then 2 hour session at wall. Felt OK, but heavy
5 - 20 min walk, light core session
6 - 40 min walk, 2 hour wall session. Climbed OK, but feeling jaded. Mates left early and I was 1 of 2 actually bouldering, but ended up just lapping a few easier problems - (I guess working towards 4 x 4s, but more like 3 x 3s)
7- ten minute run in pissing rain from bus stop to train station to get car after all trains cancelled due to flooding. 25 min cardio at home - realised I'm skiing in 3.5 weeks, and not done much cardio in a while.
8 - twenty min walk from car to work, and same on way back, tried doing some deadlifts and squats.
9 - morning swim with daughter, twenty min walk in pissing rain with kids. Weights.
10 - 20 min walk with kids, out on bike for an hour after dark. Cold but dressed right for it, only thing that suffered was thumbs went numb.
11 - lowest output day so far. Managed 10 mins of theraband while waiting at swimming lessons, and about 10 mins at home, spent rest of evening working. Probably mark it up as a fail.
12- Some CV, squats, deadlifts (of a sort - using 2 heaviest kettlebells) knees make worryoing clicky noises though. Add a bit of core. Weight this morning 13st 8, one lb above my acceptable "top" limit. Convinced no sweets, chocolate or crisps all week is what has made the difference.

13 - Meant to do wall session, but got stuck and work wading through a tide of ill thought out shit (aka proofreading and editing) so only walked 20 mins from car to work and back to car.
14 - half hour weights and CV
15 - not much, spent the evening digging out ski kit, finding stuff unused since last winter trimming touring skins, loading van etc. But didn't actually sit down all evening, so guess I was doing something.
15 - early start, drove to Ben Lawers, made it to upper car park (with snow chains) skinned up the valley and across to ridge. As we were ascending weather got worse; low cloud and snowing quite heavily (in spite of forecast). Due to deteriorating visibility we got as far as top of Beinn Ghlas (1103m - still Munro height) and decided it was pointless verging on silly to press on to the top of Lawers, so we descended the NW side down to the valley on great light snow which would have been fun if we could see anything. We dropped into the corrie with the intention of going back up Meall Corranaich, but by now vis was getting pretty poor so we skinned back up the side of Beinn  Ghlas to a convenient level and then skied back down and carried on all the way to about 20 m short of the road. Horizontal distance covered - 6 miles. 5 hours on the go.
16 - feeling pretty broken, has run around in garden with kids in morning, and then to local park with kids, who had fun playing on the frozen pond.

Cobra 0% - like Bavaria 0,0, too sweet and malty.

18th: 2hrs 30min at wall, good session.

still 70kgs though 

on nights again now, going to be a tough week

[webbo]

I am well and truly out as I now have a pot on my left leg. Went to the docs to get referred to the physio ended being sent to minor injuries who suspected a ruptured Achilles and potted me up.
Booked in for ultra scan tomorrow.

19 - 2-3 hours indoor bouldering. A bit of an odd session as the main room was closed for a bit so a long warm-up in freezing cold and a few desultory attempts on new unchalked problems before moving indoors and doing a bit better. Not great but not bad either.

WEbbo, sorry to hear, that sucks. I hope the prognosis is okay and at least the forecast is still dismal for the foreseeable future.

Equal PBs of 80 bench, 100 squat (easily), new PBs of 160 deadlight w/out straps (just!), 20/arm military press (for shoulder impingment as per duncan's post on the subject), 20/arm bicep curls, vague pondering on flirting with the regular girl who looks like an evil russian princess, then various pull-ups dips and leg raises, stretching and CV warm-down.

Equal most fun I've had sharking along with #9, fun to be moving metal gain.

Also can predict:
21 - immobile with DOMS.

[Fultonius]

Totally off the wagon. Exams, hand-ins etc. have given me shitty sleeps and no time for exercise.

Buuut, made up for it with Beinn Eighe winter climb on Sunday (3 hr approach etc)

M: 30 mins sycling
T: Skiing Glenshee
W: Climbing in Northern Corries (2 routes)
T: Cycling 30 mins. Going for an hour relaxing massage courtesy of the lass (for de-stressing porpoises)

Some fails, but some big days.

[Muenchener]

18. Half hour mobility / stretching
19. Beastmaker
20. Indoor bouldering
21. Half hour shoulder mobility & forearm antagonists

Today was motivationally the hardest day so far. Which is odd given that I'm finally starting to feel healthy again after suffering from a ten day lurgy. Had good training sessions the last two days though, and a complete rest today would have been welcome.
