Looks like I'll be climbing this weekend! YAY! I'm really enjoying being back in the gym. Florida rock climbers need a rock gym because we have no rocks to climb outdoors.

I have now been back to the Arch TWICE! (This week and last week.) The first time was a bit weird, tbh -- not because of anything to do with the place itself, just how peculiar it was to be back for the first time in 14 months (I only missed 4 months when I had a baby!), especially when I vividly remember the last time I was there, with L, a week or so before lockdown, when we were washing our hands obsessively and everything smelt of bleach. Anyway I had to go and have a little sit-down halfway through and do some nice calm breathing.

Obviously I am woefully, terribly, out of condition. My core strength has improved with the thrice-weekly yoga at home, and I noticed that improving my balance and sideways movement, but actually using my arms for going upwards is, uh, trickier than it was :)

(edit to add) It was great though!

Yes, that sounds right. I haven't taken L back yet as I wanted to get a feel for how it is off-peak by myself (and also his playground-based social calendar has been quite full since we were allowed to do home ed stuff again!), but I will do sometime soon.
