I just did the first test of the 100 push ups program. I was expecting to manage about 20 or so being as I used to have to do push ups as part of my Long Fist Kung Fu training. Turns out climbing is good for push ups, as I managed 40! Guess this sets me well on the way for the 100, and puts me at level 4. So, week one starts on Monday!
I just signed on to do this thing: Wish me luck 😀
It’s been about a year since I last went running, and something came over me last night to start it up again. So, I grabbed a running partner from work and went for it. My handy Garmin 205 captured the following: My running route Not so bad for the first run in about a year. I’m viewing this as a way to build up my stamina a bit. Expect more running posts on here I guess.
Had some xrays. Seems this is the culprit: You could see in the xray that the bone in the picture with the red arrow was misaligned. Apparently the Doctor I was seeing had done this to both his shoulders and was rather unconcerned. It doesn’t impede me and I don’t notice it when climbing at all. Just need to keep my eye on it!
Went to the Doctors this morning to check out this pesky shoulder of mine. Bad News: He reckons I've got a Labral Tear; a tear in the little cup of cartilage that surrounds your shoulder joint. I've probably done it by falling on my arm at some point while bouldering, rather than as a direct result of climbing. He's referring me to a 'shoulder Dr' to have a look at it. I might need an ultrasound or MRI scan to…
Well, I was right, the morning was fine but now I’m starting to ache….
I’ve been learning to climb for a few weeks now at my local climbing wall. I thought I might just capture how I did after each session so I can look back on my progress. Feel free to mock 🙂
