Thursday: I went climbing again today after work. I tried the bouldering wall again about 5 times first off... got incredibly close to the top and then would either fall or jump down before making it to the top. Why? I think I am scared of slipping and hitting the wall before falling... falling has it's own dangers, but to hit the wall with rocks sticking out and then falling has me slightly terrified to go any higher then I have already been. Something to work on I suppose. I then did quite a few top-roped walls. I was pretty impressed when I did one wall where I couldn't quite move my feet up because the rocks were slightly too high or awkward to reach, so I grabbed a rock with both hands and pulled my entire body up until I could secure my footing on the higher rocks. My arms hurt the next day, but I am still impressed that I did it!
Saturday: The Rideau Canal is now open (between Bank and Somerset... but it is still something!) I did this stretch quite a few times. If I had to guess I would say I skated around 12-15 km. It was about 2.5 hours of skating time. Was happy about the good workout, but I think I sabotaged myself by having not only the coveted kilaloe sunrise beavertail, but also a hot chocolate and a hot dog! I am going to blame it on the fact that when you skate you HAVE to have a beavertail, and it was cold so I HAD to have hot chocolate to warm up, and the hot dog was because I was so darn hungry and I knew the sugar rush would not get me to the end of the canal! Yes, I realize this is a lot of rationalizing... but right now my muscles hurt a little too much to care...
