Today was a good day.
Today was a good day. It started with breakfast and a worry that my legs were aching from Thursday’s BMF class. It carried on when the instructor carried on with a class focused on lower leg work. Then, the running came a little easier, I was somehow at the front and my legs felt a little looser and the running became more of a joy. I was disappointed when we got called back from a run at the end of the class and further disappointed when we walked back to the start point when sprinting until lungs burst seemed like a much better option.
I mixed the endorphins with instant coffee and sang the way home with some trance classics. I was aware at this point that I was feeling pretty high. It was good.
Did my work that I had to do in the time I was allowed and had some nice chats on The Twitter. Had a nice Subway in the car outside the climbing place. All nice.
I think that the thing I like about the climbing centre is that I feel calm there. It’s time off. I can sit and not be distracted and frankly sometimes I think I would mind not climbing, it’s just nice to sit and think. Not that that happened today. Completed the red traverse that was proving difficult. Managed to work out the white route on the corner that I thought was too hard but which I managed to perilously climb (the fear was good) and managed another route that involved a lot of hanging off just the very ends of your fingers (that hurt). I felt like my climbing came on a bit today. Felt much more confident. Which was good.
I stood and thought, it doesn’t matter if things go downhill now. Because up to here was good.
Things did go down a bit but have pulled things out a bit and few drinks tonight will round it off nicely.
DONE.
