Climbing the walls - Ratho
I spent a couple of hours at Ratho climbing centre in Edinburgh last night with my best friend (Jonny). It was a good workout - pretty tough on the arms when you have crap rock climbing technique like me. I don’t think I’ll take up rock climbing long term as it would take up too much time to do it justice. However, running can fit into anyone’s life, no matter how busy they are.
This was the first real exercise I’ve done since the Edinburgh run on Saturday. My excuse for Monday was that I was feeling a bit under the weather (sore head and dodgy stomach). I probably could have run but I honestly felt I was coming down with something more serious (as it happens my son was feeling the same and he threw up at school so it must have been the same thing).
Anyway, I can feel the temptation to fall off the wagon at this point and it is important that I go for a good run this evening to get some more Ks in the bag. I’ll let you know how I get on.
Cheers, Mark
