15. Day got away from me a bit after work. Had planned a bit more, but 20 mins of dumbbell stuff at home, followed by 10 mins yoga.

Half way point weight 83.2kg. Almost 3kg of water weight lost; a good start.

Monday - push sesh, benched 80 3x3. Think my bench will probably get a bit weaker across the next few months but I'll push it later on in the year. Pull sesh, lock offs and that. Cold gym.

Day 16

45 mins cold cycle commute to/from work

90 mins lantern session in Meersbrook bowl on the surfskate. Coordination was poor, timing wasn't quite right due to low light, legs were weak, but it was a lot of fun. It doesn't often dry out in winter - this felt like winning. Legs, core and back are trembling jelly.

I didn't listen to music - the sounds of the park and my wheels were enough

I recommend sound on for this video, preferably headphones - soft wheels on concrete...

It is the most easily accessible fun I have found

I started two and a half years ago: hoping to just be able to travel around flat carparks.

Every time I get on a surfskate now, I feel like Im doing something that I thought I would never do

its an odd niche hobby, but it fills a gap for us climbers - it is a treat to put effort into something without fingers, elbows, shoulders and toes hurting

16th - lunchtime unsuccessful wander on nearby hills hoping to find enough snow to do a few turns on the snowboard. Not quite enough down, and a bit claggy. 45 min walk plus about 20m of descent. Kettlebells in evening. Started fingerboard session, but no motivation.
17th - 7.5 km lunchtime run in snow. Sunny and no wind. Glorious.

1. 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.

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.

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.

8. The normal 1h walk school/nursery run this morning, then 5k run to/from 1h strength training at gym.

9. Just the 1h walk this morning, though we were late so I was storming along with a double buggy incl. 40kg of children, which got the HR up.

10. Same again today, just the school run. Wife's birthday so no chance of an evening outing!

11. 2 x school run (2h brisk walking) then 1.5h bouldering at Bloc this eve. Had a whale of a time.

12. Just the school run 1h walk

13. Very gentle jog to parkrun then back, about 6 miles. Keeping my powder dry for a race tomorrow. Went out for dinner for wife's birthday, it was really nice and also managed to maintain dry January

14. 10 mile off road race this morning, it went well and enjoyed climbing deep into the pain cave

15. 1h brisk walk and 1.5h bouldering at TCA

16. 1h brisk walk

17. 1h brisk walk. Have signed up to gym from next week, following a week's trial, so will get back on it then.

Day 17

a delightful couple of hours bouldering at Burbage North in the sunshine - I managed my loop problem on Tiny Slab for the first time in a long time (in good style) and then failed to repeat it again (many times) - bumped into The Mighty Stone who tried to convince me that I would enjoy projecting Peak lime sport routes

90 mins plastic pottering at The Mini Works

Day 17. 20 mins walk, 2 hours at the Works, repeating things I've done before while trying to avoid either hypothermia or worsening my elbow, half an hour miscellaneous yoga and stretching.
