Parkrun with brother-in-law this morn, good start to the year. Cleared out the remaining Christmas leftovers from the fridge, though still going on the homemade mince pies, too good not to.

Aim to start a week's trial at the independent crossfit-style gym my wife goes to, in the next day or so, with the aim of working on the gaps left by climbing and running and just feeling stronger/healthier overall.
Day 2
30 min rainy walk to nursery and back in the morning.
5k run loop to/from the gym (first time in about 20 years) this eve, had a good 1h strength training session. Keen to get stuck in over the next few weeks and see some progress. Mostly used light weights and focused on technique.
Was quite restrained with food, though still working through sister-in-law's homemade Christmas cake.

Day 3 - very wet 1h walk school/nursery run. 1h30 indoor boulder session.

4. 1h walk school/nursery run. 5k run loop to/from gym, 1h strength session. Really enjoyed.

5. Just the 1h school/nursery walk today. And currently doing a bit of stretching.

6. 15 min jog to gym then a 1h beasting. Loved it. Went for a coffee after and managed to avoid the pastries.

7. 1.5h trail run (10ish miles) along the coast from Clevedon to Portishead whilst daughter at ballet. One of those where it fitted in perfectly and felt like a win.

1 - glorious weather, long walk on the coast with the family. Sea wild, and spray lit by sun all the ay up the coast.
2 - boulder session at Block 10. Pretty much all new since last visit in November (ish) so resisted the temptation to spend too long working anything. Good session, skin went about the same time as arms.
3 - quick wall hit before collecting daughter from diving. Pretty productive even with sore skin from day before. Sent prob I was working last go, and was only 5 mins late picking up. She's used to that.
4 - kettlebells must have been half an hour or so.
5 - kettlebells and some stretching
6 - wall session. Felt ok, ticked off new prob with toe hook start (I hate toe hooks) and finally did purple dyno, so they can now reset the 45 board as I've done all I can do on it.
7 - DIY and house sorting all bloody day. Didn't sit down except to have a shit until about 10 pm

Day 7:
Bit of a cop out day. Had a block scheduled for a board session or run. Van battery went when i tried to move it, so i had 2 hours sorting that as the van wouldn’t lock and the alarm kept going off…

Though battery wrangling was knackering, and i did the long loops on both my dog walks rather than the standard one I do…

8 - more stretching, about an hour. Still hate it, but lack of flexibility is getting worse with age, got to get over myself and get my flex on
