Holiday progress

Unfortunately the healing process isn't going quite as well as I'd hoped... but this may have something to do with the small but relatively steady stream of alcohol that I have been consuming, thus slowing down the healing process.

I've been at the beach for 4 nights, relaxing and swimming mostly. Got a couple of beach runs in, but they didn't go as well as I would have liked. My shins are still giving me grief, and I'm not sure if the sand helped or hindered.

I met up with Eliot and one of his mates at the coast for a bit of rock training. We started with a run up and down the beach for a warmup, which I sucked at. Sore legs and a lack of cardiovascular fitness were the culprits... unfortunately it's hard to get better at running, when running hurts. (That's the end of my whinge).

We did a bit of rock jumping and climbing, including one climbing section that I wasn't at all comfortable with due to the rather large fall underneath - but I did it and felt better for it.

Did some vaults and a bit of rail balancing up at the lookout.

All in all a fairly relaxed jam, but it brought up some weaknesses that I need to work on.

Back at home now, gonna try keep the drink to a minimum (NYE oh noes!) and keep up with the foam rollering and stretching.
