A month of Mondays

Thanks for everyone who e-mailed me or sent a message via facebook or came out for drinks on my birthday. I had a good day, mostly just taking it easy, sometimes in my own company, sometimes with friends.

The rest of August has been busy busy busy so far. At work, we're in the "Let's get all our system updates done before the new term starts" mode, and there is a LOT to get done. Combined with the humidity at night leading to some restless sleep, I've been getting a bit run down and tired.

This Friday was a particularly nasty day at work. Edit: I probably shouldn't be blogging to much about stuff that really is an internal work thing. Let's just leave it at the fact that it was a tense afternoon.

I haven't climbed in a couple weeks now. I was starting to feel it at the beginning of the week, and I mentioned it to D&R, and the suggested that I come to one of the boxing training sessions that was part of their boxing gym's open house yesterday. So I got talked into going to a one hour technical boxing class, yesterday afternoon. I was in pain by the end of the class. And I possibly over exerted myself punching. My left shoulder is still a bit sore. And I've got that day-later muscle ache that invariably sets in if I work out muscles that aren't used to it. I've been talked into signing up for a four-week session, two evening classes a week. We'll see how that goes.
