Thursday - July 16

This mornings bodyweight is at the lowest I've been in 5 years, 223#.  Smaller portion sizes, nothing outrageous, and continued endurance training.  Preliminary goal is to get under 220# and then reassess fitness.  My heaviest bodyweight was 245#, March 2014.

10 minutes traversing on the bouldering wall
 - always at least one hand on the wall during rests.
 - continuing to use more challenging holds and movements.
 - pump doesn't begin until 6-7 minutes in.

Later in the afternoon......

Climbed a little with a couple of college kids.  Some of the routes I once thought hard are suddenly very smooth and controlled.
