I took my new TC Pros for a test drive at Stanage. 45 mins easy traversing and a few up problems. A short walk looking at the interesting skies.
Half an hour surfskating on Home Bargains carpark. I haven't been here since the summer and it was great to find how much my technique has improved. I headed for Sainsbury's car park for more variety, but was surprised to find that Sainsbury's was open - so used the opportunity to buy steak and asparagus for my tea.
Aldi was closed, but their carpark was wet. I headed back to Home Bargains for more surfskate joy. Probably did another 30 mins. It felt great - a good balance of physical effort, flow and enjoyment.
Steak and asparagus for tea.

Yup. Done something every day since Tuesday this week so going to go big and try for a jumbo Sharkathon.

21/12 - circa 3 mile walk, carrying child for half the time
22/12 - Fairlop boulders with Duncan
23/12 - about 55 pushups and 25 pull-ups on the edges on my portable fingerboard
24/12 - circa 1.5 mile walk carrying child, plus another 50 pushups or so
25/12 - short stretching session and hangs on the portable fingerboard
26/12 - more stretching, about 70 pushups
27/12 - about 20 dips in sets of 4 (I am weak at pushing!), plus good stretching session
28/12 - climbing at The Dug Out with Ally and Ross. A day of learning and being reminded of weaknesses!
29/12 - 30-40min walk carrying child
30/12 - stretching
31/12 - 10km walk pushing pram. Set a pocket circuit on the home board.

Sharkathon starting for real now. Goals:
- Exercise every day, obviously
- Stretching every non climbing day
- Lots of push exercises to work on my lack of pushing ability.

1/1 - promised afternoon sunshine never arrived, so it was low cloud, damp wind and high humidity at the New Cuttings. Spent some time working the project nevertheless, think I worked out some helpful microbeta.

Day 2

40 mins non stop surfskate pumping. Damp tarmac so couldn't accelerate too much without losing the back end, but good exercise.

Day 2 - still full of cold but had a couple of hours fun with the family round Leeds Urban Bike park. Beyond the exercise for me was worth it for the Proud parent day as 7 year old really pushed himself and the 2 year old absolutely bossed the pump track on his balance bike.

2nd
A couple of hours in the skatepark with the kids, and a brisk beach walk. Not the most impressive first 2 days but back home tonight so should be able to do proper exercise from tomorrow… so I’ll be out with injury by Wednesday…

Do you have a sort of timescale for the knee, Fiend? Or is it a "do it till it gets better"

Type 1 sprain of LCL, 8-12 weeks for full healing (just done week 4, and will get some climbing usage well before then if last year's MCL was anything to go by). Physio said it could be quicker cos I'm active and have strong-ish legs. I say it could be slower cos my venous return is shitwanked  :shrug: (why does it always take me for-fucking-ever to find the shrugging smiley?!)
