Everywhere I look people on blogs are doing the round up for the years saying what was good and what was bad. However as those of you who read my blog know I avoid this period. Maybe you wonder why? Well ..... much like an exploitative owner of a sweatshop in a cold region, who realises due to so many of the children he employs dying in the cold winter months its far better to have his tax year encompassing the whole period so he can put the full loses down to stock damages. I too have worked out that my life is too busy in this period and in fact October time suits me to reflect and admit what a total punter I've been all year long. In some way admitting self worthlessness allows me to set targets that are improbable and in no way connected to reality. So that come January I have to already admit failure or success and re-draw another plan which has no bearing on reality.
Anyway In case your wondering I am working 2 days a week at an outdoors shop(selling jackets to rich people and stopping the poor stealing insulation) and with this current exam period and my dissertation slowly going mental I have had to write off all my climbing life until mid-march. Which means giving up on all my winter climbing targets and putting on hold all outdoor rock targets.
So the new plans consists of
Monday Uni work with Bouldering+ Campusing
Tuesday Uni work with Rest day+stretching
Wednesday Uni Work Bouldering+Systems Board
Thursday Uni work Rest day+1 hour Run
Friday Uni work Bouldering+Dead Hangs
Saturday Shop+Core Day+Weights
Sunday Shop+REST DAY!!!! stretching
With at least 1 extra 20 odd minute run back from the climbing wall on either of mon wed or fri
This shall be my life till mid march at which people will re-evaluate.
In terms of climbing last few months did a few E3s and my first e4 onsight(Penny, used to be known as katana at holyhead mountain). Very little climbing though to be honest which is a shame as for a little while I was in some of the best form of my life.
Plans Easter maybe a week on arran. June July Leeds earn some money. Then Aug, Sep, Oct Money Permitting in the alps and then Scotland dec jan feb and foreseeable future and maybe glenmore Lodge Nightwatchman scheme or possibly pyb centre assistant scheme come Easter If I can get on them.
