New problems, running, good weather, swimming, climbing etc.

I'll start with a nice problem I did tonight at Stronstrey, pretty sure it's not been done before. Nice big moves between good holds: Anhedonia 2 from Rick Ginns on Vimeo . I also climbed the right hand side of the arete of Hoard at around 5+ which is quite a good variation. I've been running a bit, usually doing 5k each time, which is enough for me. An easy form of exercise straight out the front door, but I've never been a runner, I just love the 'afters', natural endorphins are the shit! Aside from running, I've done two swims this year, the Great North swim 2 mile course in Windermere and the 1 mile in Salford: Windermere: 1hr16:12 (position 723 of 1104) Salford: 33:42 (position 777 of 2225) I did both swims breaststroke, but I've been managing to get some sessions in at Salford Quays and Box end in Bedford trying to perfect my front crawl. I'm particularly pleased with the 1 mile swim as I've knocked off 11 minutes from last ye
