Rick The Hitman "Fatton"

I won't make this a long one, but since the alps I've gotten fat.  Why?  A couple of reasons but the main one being work.  I'm addressing this now and I'm thirsty for getting back to good nick.  The last "bout" of training saw me pushing my speed and thus my confidence in my ability to run 7-7:30 minute miles is there.  It's just a case of grinding through it.

I tinkered with a few runs over the past few weeks but I think I'm getting back into a habit which is good.  Sadly I've not been able to get back into the climbing yet, I've been once since the alps and my weight and decreased grip were depressing.  I've moved home so I need to suss out the new wall.  I also need to get some routes sorted around where I live.

I'm off to do an LDWA event on the weekend, I know its Christmas and a bad time to start, but the truth is there is no bad time :)

I'll do a post next week with info on how the LDWA event goes, I'll only be walking this time but I'll be back to running them soon.

Hopefully I will be in good nick before the next bout of Winter comes and/or for February when I'm off to Scotland with the WMC.  Speaking of which I'm thinking about joining another club local to my new place so I can get some climbing partners.  Maybe a bit of running and bouldering first so I don't embarrass myself :s
