Some good news in my long covid challenges.
In March I started going 3x a week to the local climbing wall. At first I was very tired, and didn't really get a lot done. A couple of times I overdid things, and paid the PEM (Post Exercise Malaise / exhausation) tax for a few days afterwards.
But I've kept going back, staying within my limits, and with the enthusiasm of kid#2 who is super into climbing, there's always somebody to kick my butt into going.
I've done a lot of climbing in the past, from alpine to trad, and it's really nice to get back into it.
Surprisingly, my shoes still fit, even if they're almost worn out, it's more than sufficient for bouldering and traversing.
Given my wide range of other older injuries, I'll probably stick with this for most of the rest of the year.
As a bonus, my partner who was always a better rock climber than I was, and kid#3 are also enjoying it. It's turning into quite the family habit again.
