climbing!

Monday, October 2, 2006
30 mins, stairmill, level 6
25 mins, stationary bike, hill intervals
2 hrs climbing at the climbing gym

My upper arms and back are feeling quite well-used after the hours at the climbing gym. I am really enjoying it, and I do my introductory class later this week so I will be able to belay and climb. I'm just a beginner so the highest level I tried is a 5.8. I came off one of them yesterday with my forearm muscles completely contracted. It's hard work!

On Sunday, we did the Run for the Cure but, because there were so many people on our team and in the crowd generally, we basically walked slowly for the whole 5km. It wasn't really any kind of a workout at all, but it was a lovely day.
