To be fit is to act fit

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , on June 16, 2008 by drogonevets

Well I decided that I have beena cting like an idiot over the alst few weeks just spending money to find something to do. Not any more!

In the last 3 years my fitness has dropped significantly, there was once a time where I could run 1.5 miles (2,400 metres) in 9mins 47.6seconds. Now I am lucky if I could run the length of the prom without having a minor heart attack. Why, because I have sat on my arse doing nothing for far to long! SO starting today I am going to attempt to run up consti, then down again until i can non-stop sprint it. I am also going to do a weekly walk from aber to Borth and back again as long as it’s not too windy (rain I will walk through, but wiond makes it far too dangerous with the cliffs)

I will also post how I am doing on here (at least once a week).

The reason I am doing this is so that hopefully when I have enough money in a couple of years I will be fit enough to be able to attempt one of the 5 peaks in Bolivia (5 6000+ foot  monsters of mountains) with my dear friend Stephen Westwood. Unfortunatly (and annoyingly) though, he is already fit enough to do this and is doing one this summer. SO I will beat him!

Climbing in Pembrokshire (2)

Posted in Climbing on June 9, 2008 by drogonevets

Well as mentioned earlier I went to pembrokshire with the company and might of ended up doing some climbing in shoes that weren’t sticky, far too big and without ropes.

It probably wasn’t much more than a V. Diff. but the holds had a habit of falling out as I held onto it, but none the less it was fun and the sense of achievement after topping out, spectacular.

Now, also mentioned a few posts ago I said I would put some photos of climbing up. Not got many yet but here are the ones I do have.

 

Strangly Satisfied

Have you ever had a weekend where although not hugely different from any other one, certainly no more noteable, you feel so utterly revitalised about it you want it to happen week after week?

Well I had one this weekend. I guess it started on Friday when as a company we went down to launch a portal for a customer and after that went for a very nice walk around the pembrokshire coast. Then preceeded to have an ok(ish) meal at “Stackpole Inn” I don’t rate the food much.

Then nothing spectacular happen on Saturday I dont think. Spoke to my friend Sally from Basingstoke which was good.

Then Sunday the morning service again was ok. Then had lunch at a friends house and then church again.

I’m sure you will agree, nothing majoprly abnormal there. So why am I so revitalised and ready for work?

If you have ideas please let me know!
