Career shift 10 months ago

Since I added this goal my career has gone off in a different direction and this is a lot less relevant. Therefore, I am going to “give up” on this, but only to free up time & focus for a more useful qualification in event management.

Are we nearly there yet? 10 months ago

Not sure how I’m going to assess when this goal is done. I have been averaging 1.5 climbs per week for the last few months, & my climbing is definitely improving, so in one way I feel I’m nearly there. I guess the next step is to change from “learn to rock climb” to “climb a 4a” etc, but my regular climbing centre does not really mark the routes in a consistent way – they are just colours which can span quite a wide range of difficulty. I guess my action plan is to go to my regular centre as frequently as possible, and then go to the Castle once a month to measure my achievements.

Mini-step number one – try to go to the Castle this Sunday for an initial level reading…



Learn to rollerblade
Time to get moving 10 months ago

I’m inspired to get going on this goal having seen how well the climbing has gone – it’s great to find that I actually genuinely enjoy a sport, and hope rollerblading will continue in the same vein, this time with added cardio benefits.

I’m going to start with a course, and am thinking of the January one here http://www.skatefresh.com/group-lessons/skate-school/ – hopefully I will have a bit more free time & money then. The special offer makes it a good deal too. Maybe I can even convince a friend or two to come along…well, it worked for climbing!
