A better week

Well after the trials and tribulations of last week, this week was much better, upto a point! Managed to do a full workout on Monday, then went to the Gym Tuesday lunchtime to do some cardio work, went climbing Tuesday night and the "twinge" in my arm came back, rested on Wednesday, went to the gym again Thursday to spend some time on the X-Trainer, Treadmill, & excercise bike, then went climbing on Thursday night. The "twinge" turned into a full on "OMG, that F***ing hurts", after about an hour on the wall. It was so bad, I had to wait 20 mins before I could drive home, as I couldn't grip anything! Came back then spent 2 hours with a "heat thing" , you know one of those cherry stone things which you put in the microwave to heat up, and my arm felt OK. Unfortunately that little incident put paid to my planned workout on Friday night, but at least I managed the Gym again Friday lunchtime. Saturday was a chillin' day just went for a walk along the beach, then on Sunday I did my first attempt at the "West Coast 25", this is a 25 mile cycle, and manged a time of 1hour 36 mins, which I was quite happy with. Got back then went for a walk down to Jerbourg then round the cliffs for 20 minutes. Then back to the Rocky for a quick pint (or 2)
So lets see what next week brings and hope my arm sorts itself out.

    Those "OMG, that F***ing hurts!" things suck, don't they? That's usually when I have the pint (or 2). I admire your restraint ;). Glad you had a good week! Here's to many more!
