Never give up

Accomplished:

Greek, 1.5 chapters; Latin, present active indicative, past imperfect, some vocabulary; eight chapters (two-thirds!) of Averil Cameron's The Later Roman Empire. CV copied.

Writing: .5K

Running: 38 minutes for 3 miles, intervals.

Rowing: 15 minutes for 2.9km, max. resistence.

Climbing: some fiddling about with traverses, another hold higher on one of my project routes (only four or five moves to the top now, but man, I need chalk soon), failed a couple more, one of which I can normally do. That was the end of my upper-body strength for the day.


...I think we'll keep the rowing. It appears to work some of the same forearm and shoulder muscles as climbing, and god knows I need to improve my upper-body strength if I want to send these overhangs ever.

I'm currently undecided on whether to head in for more gym tomorrow. It might be the better part of valour to account this getting-started-week and cut myself a small bit of slack. On the other hand, I only have two months before classes begin again, and I don't want to stay in the habit of missing good opportunities.

I am, of course, no expert, but it seems to me that even the pros have built-in time off.

Today did turn out to be most of a day off exercise - mainly due to the moan factor when I tried to get up. :)
