Well kinda. Trawled through the sets, snotty nose and all, but only managed 200 skips before I realised its just not going to happen. Knee and ankle flared up again. I think we're just going to have to figure out how get through this thing without the rope as its just sending me backwards phsically and not doing much to improve my sense of humour either.
We live on a very steep hill (basically one of the steeper continuous hikes in HK) and while I've been up it before, I've been dreading he day when I feel I need to do it again and I know now I've run out of excuses. It only takes 1-2 hours depending on the weather, so its something we can do in the morning and if i can go up and down that thing a couple of times a week, I'll have legs like tree trunks. Maybe swimming a couple of times a week and squash three times and I should be pretty well sorted. Anything that involves stepping or lunging is fine, but pounding seems to be a problem - so any ideas of other stuff i can do, then I'm all ears...ballroom dancing???
The best news is that this is the first friday I've finished work without being absolutely desperate to go out and get completely smashed - the cravings are gone! A relatively quiet week and being a bit under the weather helps, but is this the beginning of a new me?
