Tuesday 25 August
Gym before work. Usual workout, including some free weights with the 12kg bar.
Swapped 10 min run for 10 min crosstrainer, because I've still got achey kness.

Week 27
Monday 17 August
Climb @ the Unit. 2 hours. Trying a Font 6b problem, with a nice throw for a hold on the volume, will have that next time I go down.

Wednesday 19 August
Run, approx 2 miles. Death on a stick. Hill, massive stitch, overwhelming & unbeatable. Ended up walking, out for 30 minutes. Disaster. Resolve to run daily, short runs, with hills.
Run (same route as yesterday). Not as bad this morning. 25 minutes (including a stop for a chat with someone I know). Almost got a stitch, but ran the whole way. It's becoming clear : hills kill me. More training required.
Side note: Since I started 'paying attention' to my gait & breathing, running has become harder. I can't not pay attention now though - even though it's hindering rather than helping things.
Friday 21 August
Run. 4 ish miles after work. Felt a little bit like I was going to get a stitch, but my slow plodding along seemed to assuage that. Felt a bit unworked afterwards. Need to push myself harder next time. Knee/shin giving a bit of jip though.
Saturday 22 August
Gym am. Normal routine, except 5 mins on treadmill & cross trainer before and after instead of 10 on treadmill at the start and 10 on crosstrainer at the end.
Also added some extra weights using the 12kg bar, just 2 sets of 8 curls and 2 sets of 8 shoulder presses.
Sunday 23 August
Bike ride, not far, probably 7 miles. Kite flying, deer stalking, pop drinking and lolly ice eating. Fun.

Loosing your fitness, so quickly, is so demoralising.

Week 26
Monday 10 August
Climb @ the Unit, first time in ages.
Managed 1 1/2 hours, tried to set myself some trickier problems but find I tend to set myself problems I can flash, rather than problems that challenge me. Gareth set me a problem that took a couple of goes, which was a good balance between challenging & still possible.
Tuesday 11 August
My parents were feeling very neglected, so I sacked off the gym & visited them instead this eve.
Wednesday 12 August
Gym before work. God I could tell I hadn't been for over a week. Disappointing performance with the shoulder press. Must apply myself more, otherwise the improvements I've made so far will be lost.
Devon - surfing off Woolacombe for about 4-5 hours today.
Sunday 16 August
Devon - surfing off Woolacombe for about 2-3 hours today.
