Boardgaming tomorrow
Feb. 9th, 2007 11:18 amLooking forward to see a group for boardgaming, tomorrow, starting at noon. I've got lots of games, but if people want to bring alternatives, I'm ok with that, too. I like learning new games. :)

I did something to my right arm when I was climbing on Tuesday -- overstrained something in it, I think. Not sure exactly what bit, but it was bothering me a bit Wednesday and Thursday. Went climbing again last night, and while I tried to go easy on my right arm, once you're on the wall... well... you don't pay as much attention to things like that as you probably should. So, I seem to have made it worse. But, I've got three days off before I climb again, so I'm hoping for recovery by then. We'll see.
It is an odd sensation -- it hurts, but not a lot. It hurts like a tired muscle, almost at the point of failure (lactic acid build-up kind of hurt), and yet, it doesn't actually fail when I go to do things -- it works. I think it was primarily bicep on Tuesday, but that I used other muscles to compensate last night, and now the ache has spread. Tricep seems to be ok, but whatever the muscle is that comes over the top of the shoulder down the outside of the arm, seems to be quite achey, too. And, also, one muscle in the upper right back.
I still managed to climb a 5.9 without a fall, and another 5.9 with a couple retries, so not a bad night of climbing overall.
I do miss my shoes, though. They needed repair (worn through on the rands), which takes a couple weeks, so I've been using rentals the last couple times. That, also, may have contributed to the arm damage -- less sure footing, meaning I put a bit more stress on my arms.

Went skating on the canal this evening with gabriel_le, it was quite nice. Did about 10km in about an 1.5 hours of skating. Good temperature, too. If we do this regularly, I may actually have to get a decent pair of skates, rather than the crap I have now.
gabriel_le was almost mummified in the layers she was wearing... amusingly so at times. :)
