Went to the climbgym with a friend yesterday. Definitely not fully healed...in fact, i think i did some sort of grievous injury to my already-damaged middle finger. This chafes, because i need that finger. It is, in fact, my least avoidable finger, in addition to just generally being my favorite, and strongest finger. In spite of all this, it was a fine workout. i could tell i was broken down, 'cuz i'd run outta gas way too fast on a route, but i still got a nice enduro workout in. Bunch o' v2s and v3s; then i got on the auto-belays and did some good distance on a stiff 5.11, got a couple of .10s, couple of .9s, then did maybe 8 or 10 laps on a couple of 5.8s. Left with some nice toasty, sauteed forearms.
Today i'm hoping to get in to the irongym for some chest and shoulders. i think it's helping my posture.

Don't go destroying your flipper-offer finger. It comes in handy. I've had to use mine twice in three days of running at 6:30am.
Well if it keeps you runnin'...
What kind of pulse rate should I be shooting for when running for say 30 minutes? I've been trying to keep it under 150, but I'm not sure why.
150 would be in the ballpark of 80% max hr for you (at yer advanced age.) It's not a bad hr to stay at, but it wouldn't hurt to go higher. Your hr is not gonna be in tight sync with your anaerobic threshold 'til you're in reasonably good shape. That is, it doesn't mean much. Especially for 30 mins. i mean, run where it feels good. If you were planning on going for an hour or two, and you took off in the high 150s, you could count on being wiped out at the end. On the other hand, if you make a point of keeping it low (which will probably be around 150 if you're outta shape like me) you won't get over AT, and it won't waste yer legs for lifting.
Just go where it feels like a good run till you're in decent shape for it.
