Climbing, and sundry other things
Apr. 29th, 2008 11:10 pmOne day, I will have to learn the ratings for the climbing wall.
Today, managed two routes, both ones I've finished before. Actually got onto to overhang on the next route I'm working on conquering. Tried - and failed, woefully - three much more tricky routes, and didn't have the chance to try the next route I want to attempt to conquer.
As soon as I can afford it, I need to get climbing shoes. I understand they can make a difference. (I also need to get new runners, since mine are pushing up eighteen months now. While they're holding up marvellously well, I think perhaps this won't last. Not if I keep abusing them at the climbing wall.)
Tomorrow, I get to do outdoor running. I walked myself a route a while back, one that's maybe a mile and a half, two miles long (and at least half of that on a definite uphill slope), but I haven't had the chance to see if I can run it. Or some of it.
Also tomorrow, I need to organise my notes, shelve my books, and arrange my plan of attack for this ~three week period of pre-exam time.
This is going to be fun, I think. I get to do a lot of the reading I skipped the first time through, but because I've already done some very similar exams, I'm not worried that my prep will be inadequate. My prep's already adequate: this is just a matter of making it better, and learning interesting! new! facts and facets while doing so.
Hey. Was I optimistic just there? Wow.
I must be feeling pretty good.
