Climbing fiend!

Climbed today with my roommate.  Ended up doing some pretty decent work!  Started with a challenging 5.10B - up into a crevice and did two more 5.10A's another 5.10B and 3/4 of a 5.11A (whut!)

Rocks rule.

March Madness!

I've opted in to a 30-day challenge by a friend of mine.  Each day, we do a set of burpees, squats, tricep dips and jumping jacks.  It's a pretty simple, hard-to-excuse challenge.  Yesterday, I did 5 reps and today I did 6.  Seven reps tomorrow!  Haha.  It's silly, but it actually does make one a bit sore.

That said, I did about 20 jumping jacks and 10 each of squats / tricep dips both days... but I swear to you -- I'm not doing more than the prescribed number of burpees.  Because burpees are the devil.

More rocks!

Tackled a few 5.10a walls today. Four, actually. Pretty good workout. Also, today is the first day of my friend's 30-day challenge, so I did a set of burpees, squats, jumping jacks and tricep dips. Totally manageable.

My foot has been hurting for no good reason. I don't like it. Not one bit.

Rock Climbing!

Rock climbing with my roommate, a close childhood friend and our favorite bouldering buddy!  Great day to warm up a Saturday morning.  I took the opportunity to challenge myself on a few 5.10B routes - something I haven't been doing because of the medication I'm on.  That said... my buddy from the east coast killed it on a few 5.11Cs... so...

Rock Climbing

Went rock climbing with my roommate.  It was good.  Got a good upper body workout. 

Other than that, feeling kind of shitty.  And fat.

Bloggetty blog blog blog... RUN!

Okay, so I ran today.  My Nike+ crapped out on me after 10 minutes, which is lame, but Nexercise got the whole 35 mins.  I forgot that I have asthma... uh... duh.  And therefore struggled through this run.  I usually take a puff or two before heading out if I'm a fatass (AKA: not in shape) so that I can make it.  Today, I forgot.  But I pulled off the run anyway.  It took a lot out of me because I wasn't really taking in optimal levels of oxygen, but that's what I get for leaving my inhaler at home.  I won't likely forget again.

Ran the first 30 mins and walked the last 5 so that I didn't pass out.  Nexercise tracked 3.05 miles in 35:52.  Not awesome.  Not horrible. 

Today is also my first official day of Whole30.  Yesterday I intended to start, but the BF wanted to go to sushi and I wasn't feeling up for argument.  Haven't seen the poor guy in almost a month.  Figured I'd let it go for a day and start fresh.  I didn't have my first meal until late in the day, partially because I slept in and partially because I got distracted with work right away.  I will probably only eat twice today.
