Enduro down: Season 9

Did get all the ARCing sessions in this last week. That's honestly kinda a load off--it is my least favorite bit of the season, and very likely one of the more important parts (as, by the time i get back 'round to it, i'm usually severely lack the endurance for anything more than about 6 moves.) Anyhow, got in all the enduro days in relatively good style, and my hands and forearms feel simply decrepit.

Happily, i've also been cleaning up the diet and getting in quite a bit of biking and running. Yesterday got in the two 30min sets of ARCing with Aeon, and then went for maybe 17 miles on the mt. bike. This morning i weighed in at 200lb. That's the lowest i've been in many, many moons. I'm a li'l excited, 'cuz diets have never worked for me before. I actually have a hope for the first time in a long time that i could strip some appreciable lard off and maybe climb well for once.

Now on to Strength phase. I'm kinda amped to get A&A on a hangboard program. I think they'll see some monstrous gains if they put some focus in. I haven't lifted weights in around 7 months now, and i also want to start adding some of that back in gingerly. It's been nice to not feel like i'm dancing on the hairy edge of injury every time i work out; but i do need to start strengthening in a more focused manner again.
