My blood ain't good enough for the NHS apparently. Imagine!

Me neither. Used to donate regularly in SA but my African residence means NHS won't touch it. Hopefully my organs wil still be useful.

well, you've proved it works. 

Works for me anyway. I'm high risk apparently.

Fieldwork in Northern Australia has ruled me out in the past (nasty odd unknown insect borne diseases etc.. nice.)

Shit in real running terms, but I've just managed a goal I've had for a while and run just over 10 miles in under 90 minutes, 1:26:43 in fact.

It's always good to reach a (10) milestone, nice one

[duncan]

If I can be permitted a non-climbing one...

My first PhD student sat her viva this morning and passed with minimal corrections.  It was a good piece of work but that doesn't stop me being mightily relieved.

Did the Preston half marathon on Sunday, aimed for sub 2 hours and did it in 1:52:33.  Very pleased!!  And I'm doing the Tatton Half this Sunday, which is much flatter- do I have to go even quicker!?!?!

[Nibile]

Very psyched! Today I flashed my first 7c problem.
On the Moonboard!!!
YYFY!!!

Finished with physio today - well, no more appointments; left open in case I need advice later

Jumped up off a bench, onto a trampette, launched upwards and forwards, did a quarter turn and landed one footed - the bad foot; didn't fall over. Did this turning to the left and to the right. It was very scary E6 4a

Get the fuck in!

Is a trampette a female tramp? Bet she wasn't happy.

Nice one Lagers! 

[GCW]

Nice of you to put it online too, lagers.

Nice one lagers. The bastards had me doing "simulated jogging" on the stepper on Monday. The foot felt fine but five minutes on that fucking thing nearly made me pass out due to being hugely unfit!

[andy_e]

Nice of you to upload a video of that too Jasper

[tomtom]

Excellent new Lagers

You passed fit to play on the scrittle yet?

walking on uneven ground is still difficult - especially carrying a pad, but I've been out a couple of times

certainly not confident about unplanned dismounts

I wouldn't emit such a girly sound

I would either utter a simple "fuck" or let out an Achilles style roar

[Gritlad]

Did Brad Pitt today in my first session on it today 
One of the big ones for the winter done!! Lovely stuff

Not climbing related, but a good YYFY nonetheless.
Today I received the confirmation of my enrollment for a 1st level Master at one of Rome's universities. The subject is "Research Techniques, Security and Criminology" and I'll follow it via e-learning with some seminaries in place. It lasts one academic year, with the final exam July 2013.
I graduated in Criminology in 2002 and unluckily wasn't smart enough to keep my formation. A couple of weeks ago while on the bus I had an inspiration and went for it.
I am a bit scared, it's more than 1000 hours plus the seminaries plus the papers, but hey! It's a challenge, and who knows which doors it could open up!

 YYFY LORE. Don't be intimidated, just attack it as you do your fingerboard and your training and I dare say you'll produce a masterpiece. Excellent news.

First session back at City Bloc today. Made up to be living in spitting distance. Delightfully no back pain after 7 weeks now.YYFY.

Very climbing related, I just climbed a 4 months project on my wall.
This one
Incredible sensation really, almost perfect phisically, perfect mentally.
Fantastic.

Is it as hard as Hubble Problem With Extension?
