Feeling a little alone...

I realized today that I still don't have a post following my last one in the colours of blue...  You need to blog! I know you stopped your exercise when I broke my ankle (yay solidarity!) but come on now!  Time to get back at it!!!

For the past couple days I was supposed to go to the pool for some good workout swims. This unfortunately hasn't happened yet.  I have however kept up my almost nightly routine of crunches and a few yoga moves as well as anywhere from 15-45 minutes of wii fit every few days.  It isn't much but it is better then nothing!  

I did end up at the gym last Friday where I did the bike for 15 minutes and the weird machine that lets you lift your legs to do curls (rather then lifting your upper body).  This was fun, felt alright afterwards as well.  Next weeks plan is to go swimming at least once and to the rock gym with Mimi on Tuesday (I can't wait!!) I know it is going to hurt like hell two days later, but you gotta start somewhere right?

I didn't die...

On Friday I went back to the climbing gym. It was weird, and I will admit I was pretty scared to get back at it. I got changed, got my harness on, clipped on my chalk bag and then went for my refresher lesson. A coworker had gone with me and it was her first time. I was the one who had to climb the wall twice while they taught her how to belay. I was exhausted after the first climb, and they made me do it AGAIN without a break... I was starting to remember what a workout felt like. We did about 5 walls each, I went 3/4 of the way up everytime, I think I went all the way up on one wall. The thought of falling is still in my head and slightly paralizes me at times but I think I just need to get used to the feeling of being held up in the air by a piece of rope. My ankle was swollen after all this but no more then on a regular day. If anything I got some good stretches out of it. I got home around 10:30pm and my whole body was tired. My muscles have not been that tired in at least 6 months which makes me sad. It hurt but it was a good hurt. Yesterday there was no pain and I walked around a mall for about 7 hours. Today is when I felt the pain, I can feel it in my shoulders, my armpits and my elbows. Best best I can figure is that I was pulling myself up on the wall to compensate for the lack of strength in my right ankle. Hopefully next time will be a little better... all in all was a good first time back.
