respect for grim lime persistence there, as you drove past 100s of perfect scrittle boulder problems to get to the tor! hope you get it done soon.

Fiend · January 17, 2015, 08:36:23 pm

16 - 2 hours medium steep routes at GCC
17 - 4 hours medium-thin bouldering and advanced skin loss at BOWDEN

Pulled something in my neck/back warming up and thought it might be the coldest day sunbathing on a mat, but thankfully took enough painkillers and it was okay climbing. Might be updating from in bed tomorrow.

I thought it was mandatory.

And its doing my fuckng head in...

Thats probably a good reason to keep it mandatory....

I've decided to give up beer for January, but not wine. You can claw the wine bottle from my cold dead hands.

Oh, and I'm still on track - 12 days on.

I read this as 'and I'm still on crack - 12 days on'.

One thing at a time hey.

You'd be surprised as how much dedication that takes.

Just to rub it in for you fine January troopers....

Thought you'd like to know..

Nonsense, alcohol is a diuretic, so I weigh less.

tomtom · January 18, 2015, 06:23:35 pm

Irish coffee gives you a double effect!

fried · January 18, 2015, 06:50:10 pm

I'll have a double irish coffee then.

Oldmanmatt · January 18, 2015, 07:24:47 pm

Despite not being one of the chosen....

The irony for me, comes from the fact that I have today put in more than 4hrs training and I'm now sitting down to a huge roast and equally large glass of red....

Hypocrisy is the spice of life.

Nu skool 400

A couple of hours working trad projects.

Re: new 400 regime. It does seem more ab focussed and is presumably less injurific. The exercises are a fair bit slower though because I am concentrating on good form (and because they're new I guess?). This is fine at the weekend but midweek when I want to bang the set out before work I might be pushed for time. I'll see how this week goes. I have a couple of other thoughts but I'll wait until I've done a few sessions before voicing them.

fatdoc · January 18, 2015, 07:43:08 pm

Awoke to to what I've been worried about.. A variation on laid dumb bells with lowr arm rotation left me with slight twinge last week....

Now can't open a car door without severe pain on innermost boney aspect of the elbow.

Some sort of mild joint capsule tear / tendonosis.... Obviously needs intensive rest, ice and topical NSAIs.

Core work, yoga lite will continue, as will running once not too icey, along with good diet / no booze.

But, I won't get the 30 mins a day due to the curtailment in my choice of exercise.

I'm there in spirit, but in the rules of sharkathon... I'm out

Jaspersharpe · January 18, 2015, 08:57:49 pm

A timely reminder that rest and not overdoing it are as (if not more) important as getting stuck in when you're the wrong side of 40.

And why I'm not getting involved in this or power club despite being more psyched for training and doing it right than I have been in years.

Hope you recover soon mate. Take it steady!

Fiend · January 18, 2015, 09:05:51 pm

18 - 1.5 hours mixed CV at GYM.

Tweaked back / neck felt okay and better afterwards.

Get well soon fatdoc.

mrjonathanr · January 18, 2015, 09:15:29 pm

Take it easy fatdoc, I'm sure you'll be back up to speed with some tlc for that elbow...

Yeah tbh, no blame can be laid on Shark. Apart from the lack of booze I was doing this amount of general exercise anyways.... I've just twanged something trying new free weights. No danger, I was due a week off them the week after anyways..

webbo · January 18, 2015, 09:49:57 pm

Am I the only who can see what's gone wrong here. You upped the training and stopped drinking.
Keep training and start drinking again.
Posted after an hour and 20 mins on the turbo and a glass or two of the Arran single malt my daughter bought me for Christmas.
You are only young once which clearly I am not any more.

Jaspersharpe · January 18, 2015, 09:59:49 pm

No you're obviously correct Webbo, it's just nobody else dared point it out. #cans

the_dom · January 19, 2015, 05:18:58 am

Still on track (and crack) despite life doing its best to get in the way..

+1 - keep the Psyche...

Nibile · January 19, 2015, 10:32:35 am

After my girlfriend's birthday party, I currently have at home:
- one large jam tart;
- one large cream and pine nuts tart;
- one chestnuts and walnuts tart;
- one large chocolate and almonds tart.
I could be joining the Sharkathon in the future.

tomtom · January 19, 2015, 10:43:25 am

So you picked up four tarts at your girlfriends birthday party??

Nibile · January 19, 2015, 10:56:36 am

Ahahahahahahahahahah!
Well, you know... She wasn't looking and they were all very tempting.
