Hagley 5k. Everything I deserved after 3 consecutive days of not carrying out intentions. Initially felt like I was successfully running within my current comfort zone but after 2km started to struggle and ended up taking 2 little walks in the 4th km. Oh well, had been consistently over 5 minutes per km up to then so would have been disappointing anyway. Haven't dared looking back at my records yet to see if it's a PW.

Tried to get the weekly afterwork climbing session back in action, but nobody else ready for it. So rather than toddle off home, toddled off to the bouldering gym where it wouldn't matter that I had no friends. Still sticking to the easiest 2 colours but more green than blue this time (but avoiding overhangs after a bad start). Just about to call it quits when Bruce turned up and made me carry on for a bit more, including some overhang work which definitely finished me off!

Has to be said, was very aware of the lack of harness and rope a few times, including bailing before finishing a couple of routes that I think I should have been able to make... Also, there are some very impressive climbers that (at times literally) hang out here

From work. ~10 min warm-up, then 30+ continuous in Hagley Park (required a bit of doubling back!) then easy back to the office... A bit sniffly, hopefully hayfever even if it feels a bit more like a cold
