At last! Over 20 times falling off last move, first font 8A - PSYCHED! :D

finally moved in to my new place after a shit break up from long term fiance and now happy again, plus one mate came third in the bbcs, one bouldered 8B and just generally motivated again because all of the hard work and training is paying off.

I just did the jump from the 1 meter platform on the kids slide onto a single pad. Stayed on my feet after impact.

This beats my previous best of 75cm

The neighbours were giving me funny looks as I worked up to it; they must have scurried inside when I let out my triumphant yell.

Ankle feeling OK

Might do a few more after looking out the attic window to see that MASSIVE poster of Jess on the side of the library again

a none bouldering related yyfy i did a running race called the cranham beast today which was 15.2 miles off road up and down hills, through streams and plenty of nettles. well i thought completing the course would be an achievement but i surprised myself and came sixth overall.

No idea but the big YYFY is that it definitely will at some point in the future.

My heel has been rebuilt with a plate and more than ten screws but the x-rays showed that the bone has healed really well. It's going to hurt a lot but I'll get there.

Get down there with Largers and see who can be the first to jump from 1.1 meters...

Fiend · August 17, 2012, 09:48:34 pm

What on Earth did you do to it in the first place??

P.S. Glad you're healing up you fat cunt. Good luck with regaining mobility and fitness.

See my profile picture? My foot slipped as I was topping that out....

I never though I'd witness something like this in Italy. Hottest day of the hottest summer, Florence is the hottest city in Italy. 44 humid degrees in the shade, 50.5 in full sun. You've got to experience it to believe it, it's like breathing in boiling water.
Why a YYFY?
Because it was yesterday!!!
A few more days and then it should be over.
Just 43 today, the weights session will feel like a breeze.

SA Chris · August 21, 2012, 03:05:41 pm

Has Betty Swollocks taken up residence?

Nibile · August 21, 2012, 03:13:47 pm

I had to search urbandictionary for that but you made me LOL in the bus.
Anyway yes, she's my faithful companion for many weeks now.

Hats off to you. You may have to look that one up too.

I am using the heat as an excuse to not do as much as i should. High 30's in the shade here and that's more than enough thanks. I have been running in the dark as that's the only time it's cool enough. It's dark until 7.30 am and then by 8 it's hot. Not much time to get stuff done.

I am inspired by your dedication as i can't even be bothered to wipe the sweat from my brow or scratch my betty swollocks as i am too lethargic

Well done! I love the feeling of breaking into a new grade.

Nibile · August 23, 2012, 06:25:55 am
