I was going to post a poll asking your opinion on what sport I should take up now that I'm quitting climbing (and physical therapy), but I've pretty much decided on ice skating. While it's high commitment monetarily (at my level they charge for lessons by the season and my mum threw away my figure skates for some silly reason like they no longer fit), it requires very little brain power: lessons are at set times up to 4x a week at reasonable times about a 15min walk from my apt. Actually they are at the exact same times as my PT appts were, except that I could theoretically change at home after. I might continue to post less than ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mrcairo would like as a result, but hey, fitness is important. Also, this may be the last season I live so close to a rink and I'm curious if I could ever learn a full rotation jump, maybe even an axel.
I'm looking for a new hobby bc I don't exercise unless I have one: working out is boring, unless I have a reason, like being able to do longer sequences on the silk or having the strength to muscle a 5.9 move. I've been in an exercise funk for the past month or two and have been hitting the gym about twice a week: once a week to do some version of my PT exercises and running 2-4mi once a week.
I realized yesterday morning that I'm kinda done with climbing: both my next two ice climbing trips have fallen apart and I realized that I might be okay with never going ice climbing again. I wasn't particularly excited to go to WV, although in the end, the crack climbing was so sweet, just thinking about it has me jonesing again. WV might've contributed to my desire to never climb again though: I climbed such amazing crack climbs (New Yosemite yum!) and finished with a 5.10c. I could spend all of next season dedicated to this sport and never climb so well again. Maybe this makes me a quitter, but I just don't want it badly enough to put in the extraordinary amounts of marginal effort required to become a more badass climber. Maybe this is why I am Jill of so many hobbies, mistress of none. And I suppose resuming ice skating for one season isn't going to improve that trend.
I will mention/discuss what your poll option were going to be in the comments if anyone is interested.
