Day 14. 30 mins stretching, lower back felt a bit tweaky after cleaning bathroom. 15 minute warm up on board then drove to North Yorks moors and did an hours bouldering.
I’m not sure my experiment of warming up at home then driving for 75 mins to climb worked.

Day 14

two weeks no booze - I regularly have a month or so off, but because this is planned, it feels harder

35 mins cycle commute
walked 10km
was going to do some sort of climbing at home, but fell asleep
non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy is taking longer to heal than previous episodes - must try less hard
tired

10th 11th 12th
Brisk dog walks, long days at work, bah…
13th
Kettlebells session, 1 hour.

14th
Evening run with the local reprobates, 5-ish miles. Also did a plank, FOMO and all that. 1x3 minutes, that’s quite enough of that.

Day 13
No time, but standing up and down on the dining room chair to repair a kitchen light must count for something?

Quick solo hit at Nesscliffe.

The Sharkathon bar isn’t very high but this represents a new low

As I had no clue what I was doing, I got on and off that chair several times. The fist-pumping afterwards probably burned a few calories as well.

Family climbing day at Barden Moor, so good to just be out in the hills so to climb quite well and see the whole family really enjoying themselves was an absolute joy.

Day 15. 30 mins stretching 2 x 1 min planks. 40 mins turbo. Felt a bit battered from yesterday, I had a bad bout of cramp right in the middle of Death in Paradise last night . Disturbed the other half’s viewing when I had to get the massage gun out.

Deer Gallows and bloody glorious. Grippy, no wind so not too cold, dry rock.

Cool spot! I presume the dampness of the walk-in compensated for the dryness of the rock ;)

Man eating bog is easily avoided if you do as the book says and don't get sucked into going too direct - which some of us did.  unfortunately some of us got excited and didn't stay quite high enough, number one child got slightly mauled and I ended up handing over my socks.

Yetix fell in a stream as we were walking out from Deer Gallows a year or so ago! So funny (for me)  :lol:

15th - shit night sleep, probably post booster. felt like crap all day, actually dozed off during a teams call. Did some hip / glute exercises in front of telly.

16th - climbing session. Felt a bit better, but most of the session was on belay duty. Managed to get a few things done at the end.

13. Physio session on treadmill - lots of cadence training.

14. Intervals run around the woods (20 mins) and a short board session before going for a beer. Not sure what the board session trained, but basically just did circuits where the other person choose each hold you went to. Made you do quite different moves and hang on for longer - was fun.

15. Board warm up and day out a Brimham. No ticks but good fun. First session out since injuring my finger in October 👍🏻

Last couple of days had sessions at the Works, today went out to try a nice looking 6C that turned out to be wet so repeated The Easier Side 6B (lovely problem) as well as some other minor bits and tried to work out The Harder Side 7A, which I made a bit of progress on.

Boozeless since NYE as well :)
