fell, trail and rock

Had a good day out yesterday, fitting in a run and some bouldering into the damp and windy day.

It dawned wet and windy (again!), but with the promise of better weather later on, I pootled out for a 7 mile run over Muncaster and back, and then P and I went over to Consiton to go bouldering up in Coppermines Valley and lovely it was despite the cloud and wind. Just good to be out. Managed a few easy problems and shoulder was OK, but not brilliant. Basically I can climb straight on to the rock, but any thrutching or palming down or mantling type of movements make me squawk with pain!!

I rode into work and back three times last week, and have done today aswell, although the hip felxors can feel yesterdays run. Its a long, long time since I 'felt' any side affects from a 7 mile run!

Hoping to get out a couple more times this week running and maybe bouldering if the weather plays ball. And if all goes well, I'm going to start putting together a weekly training programme to try and keep me focussed on getting back my fitness.
Just need to decide what are the essentials to this training programme but one thing that really made the difference over the last year was the big days out. BG2010 here we come!!!
