Humber river run! My legs felt heavy and sluggish for no apparent reason, but I enjoyed the outing. The summer vegetation has filled in, and the valley is alive.

Climbing at Boulderz Climbing Centre (sic) on Dupont St. Since leaving Boston, I haven't done any climbing, and while I was starting to send 5.10 top rope pitches, my technique lacks finesse and relies too much on brute force. Bouldering seems an ideal environment to improve, and Boulderz has some very reasonably priced 10-packs. I plan to go about once per week; it's on my way home. The gym was almost deserted, with only two climbers. My grip strength has waned considerably since I last climbed, but I wandered around on some V0 and V1s.
