Well I've not posted for a while due to various reasons. First and foremost by Grandad died so I've been spending a lot of time with my mum. That's a different story though which I won't bore folks with.

The other reason is I have been training!!!! Had a fair few wall sessions with some good gains noticed and been beasting he pull up bar loads. I'm feeling loads better and still positive about things which is great. I'm off to the wall tonight with the Jigga man who has been making some tips on food groups and stuff that will help my progress.

Got a day off tomorrow and with the weather as good as it is I am hoping for a quest out somewhere. I had a trip to the stone last week and forgot what a cruel mistress she is. Basically I got spanked on everything but I'm not down about it. I just need to keep training and keep going. It will all come back soon.

Another positive is I will have a new mountain bike in 6 weeks time courtesy of the cycle2work scheme. Happy days! It's a mint full-susser and will help no end with my fitness levels.

So all is good, I am happy. Which has felt rare recently.

Day off today

Well I have decided to just chill tonight and watch the football. Feeling a bit drained after a shitty day at the office. Spent some time trying to sort my laptop out and put some tunes in my phone, job done.

Think I'm gonna nail the pull up bar tomorrow night now I have had a break. Only one more day in the shit pit and then two off so hoping to get out somewhere, maybe St. Bees again as it was great.

Well I had a pretty decent session at the wall tonight.

Managed to do two full length and two half length traverses of the main wall which is a big improvement from where I was a few weeks back. I could only manage half the distance then so very pleased with progress. I have decided that Mondays will be stamina training which was always my weak point. I will dedicate Thursdays to doing a variety of stuff, mainly trying to keep up with Ry which is going to be very hard. The boy is flying and was burning people off the other night.

I have also managed to keep off the beer tonight! This is a very good step, I know its only one night but its a start. Most of my evening after the wall has been spent trying to get my new wireless router from Sky to work. The biggest problem is my laptop though, it is fooked. Thankfully I have a cousin who is very handy with all things computer related so will get him to sort it.

Day 1

Well I have decided to start a blog to mainly assist myself getting strong and hopefully amuse any poor soul who chooses to read my ramblings.

Off to the wall with the Jigga man tonight feeling positive and renewed about resurecting my climbing career. I had a lovely day at St. Bees with a non climbing friend who wanted to try the sport we all live for.

(Also managed to get the pull-up bar back up so beasting myself on that everytime I walk past it)

I am going to attempt to keep this blog going as I am determined to get back to the standard of climbing I used to operate at. Fingers crossed anyway.
