Running: My first continuous 12 minute run in... a long damn time. 1.3 miles in 12 minutes, 3.0 miles in 32 minutes, and a grand total of 3.9 miles in 47 minutes.
Miles treadmilled since 10-09-08: 18.75.
Climbing: As if to make up for the most excellent showing in running, my climbing sucked. I spent two hours at the wall, mostly just holding my elbows and saying 'ow'. Did a bit of fiddling around with traverses; attempted a green 6a+: miserable fail. Attempted the black 6b: still stuck two-thirds of the way up. Attempted the white 4+, and only got the last move by cheating (although, as an aside, I'm not so sure that that is a 4+: there are three routes at the wall I can do fairly consistently, and it, although allegedly the easiest, is not one of them). Attempted the orange 5 on the slab, and although I now know I can do the last move, my arms gave out, and I had to cheat.
Although, point: I've climbed four days out of the last five, did weights the day I didn't climb, and ran five days out of the last five. So some amount of suckage is probably to be expected at this stage.
Tomorrow gets to be a day off from exercise, I think. Sunday, if I can manage it, I go to a karate class. Because I wouldn't want the aches I have now to have time to get bored and lonely, that's why.
Study: verb tenses in Latin, some Mattingly.
Writing: Maybe 200 or 300 words.
Ow. My fingers. My elbows. My shoulders. Just, ow.
But you know the crazy thing? I feel better this week than I have done for a long time. Clearheaded, generally good, and my recovery time after exercise has gone down, provided I remember to eat.
