Running, jumping, climbing trees...
I had a go on the climbing-wall treadmill tonight.
I fell off four times and only just lasted the 5 minute beginner program. In no way whatsoever do I resemble a "sinewy Johnny Depp lookalike". I kept wondering which sod had nicked all the handholds, and spent too much time trying to find just the right grip and not trusting my strength to be enough to just haul myself upwards. I was amazed at how easy it is to get completely disoriented on a surface that one has theoretically climbed over a dozen times already.
I want to do it again.
A lot.
Whee!
