Hello to all of you who can be bothered to read yet more pointless information on the web,

If I were you I’d go out climbing or something; well actually I wouldn’t because on my current record of not climbing more then 6 times in the last 12 months it would be wrong of me to set such a standard. Why haven’t I climbed for so long? Well when you get to a certain period in your life you seem to have more to do than you expected. Work, children, family holidays, DIY, build a sports car, etc, etc… you get the idea.

However, this year is my come back year (a bit like last year the year before that and the year before that except I really mean it this time!). I’m starting with some running for fitness and a diet to aid weight loss. I aim to lose a stone. I’ve also started some campus sessions for basic strength and low level endurance. At present I can’t manage more than half an hour before my fingers and arms are blown. I need to read my books again like Eric Horsts “Training for Climbing” and maybe use the intenet (e.g. http://www.trainingforclimbing.com/) to help formulate a more concrete plan of attack.

I’m sure that there are many people in my situation, good luck to you all.

So far I’ve had 3 campus sessions, put on 2pounds (aim to lose 1st 2lbs now) and gone for a 40 min run…

Over and out… [end of transmission]
