A surprisingly productive week for once.
M - Lunch - stamina on board, 1 min on 1 min off. Surprisingly tiring. 11k hill run in evening forcing myself to slow pace, after doing 21 km the day before.
T - 4 k leg stretch in evening.
W - 5 k walk home from garage. Did some lifts in the evening
T - easy pace 6 km run with a mate. Bouldered on board in evening.
F - nowt
S - did a couple of routes at Yellow Crag. 5+ and 6a+ first tome on a rope on rock this year. All felt a bit hard but felt good. Bouldered a bit after.
S - Balmoral 15 mile race for my 55th. Weather mostly OK, nice and cool. Felt good for most of the race, thought I might be on for 2 hours, but headwind got stronger and stronger as I was going up the bastard long hill was joined by rain in the face as I started the descent, and knew I had nothing left. 2:03:10, still a pb from when I last did it in 2018.

Wow heavy indeed, possibly deserving of a woke 'trigger warning '
My older brother died of cancer about 25 years ago when he was only 23. Sitting watching him die slowly with my parents and younger brother is the most freeing, but horrific experience I've ever had.
The only save grace was that they pumped him so full of morphine he wasn't in pain. Given the choice he & we as a family would of ended his life earlier and with more dignity.

Please fucking well consider helping to fund a fucking replacement bridge at Cunt-brook Mill by donating to the PDNP Foundation's fundraiser for this at: https://shorturl.at/cesz8
You cunts can also donate by:
Bank transfer to ‘Peak District National Park Foundation’, sort code 20-10-71, account 63364895, Barclays Bank, quoting Cunt-brook Bridge
Cheque made payable to Peak District National Park Foundation with your cuntact details and marked Cunt-brook Bridge to Aldern House, Baslow Road, Bakewell, Derbyshire, DE45 1AE
However, if you fuckers want to add gift aid (giving them an additional 25%), you’ll need to email them for a gift aid form to complete.
Nice one to all those fucking cunts who have already donated.
Works for me

I’m confused as your original intervention was railing against the thread itself: Wow! A thread for adult men to -ostensibly- find amusement in typing the c-word and variations thereof.
UKB truly at its best.
I don’t think anyone was condoning swear-shouting when people fall off. I expect many of the adults on the thread would agree with you that’s it’s not on and a bit embarrassing if that was your point. Or are you just moving the debate on to a supplementary point?

If a person chooses to get their “kicks” by offending others, what does that say about a person?
N.B. that I said nothing about the kick coming from offending others. The value of swear-words as expressions of strong emotion may come partly from their being socially taboo, but (for example) if I burn myself on a hot pan and say "fuck!" while in my flat on my own, that has nothing to do with "offending others". Nor am I "getting my kicks" out of it. And if a person chooses to repeatedly come into the thread with a swear-word in the title in order to be offended that it contains swearing, what does that say about them?

So harsh and judgemental.
Opinionated, yes; judgemental, I don’t think so. I did write, “I think”. The judgemental part only concerns whether one considers shouting while falling off as demonstrating a lack of self-control. I would suggest it either demonstrates a lack of self-control or an excessive egotism/arrogance. Take your pick.

Hi alba, I had a ~10 year break, resuming in my mid 30s. At that age the movement and strength for single moves came back fairly quickly, confidence had declined naturally and healthily from the madness of my early 20s, but the 'short endurance' for sport routes took me quite a while to regain. Also found I needed two months rather than two weeks to recover from a similar tweak (and it gets worse), so good luck, have fun, and take it steadily!
M -
T - Fingerboard pickups, 36kg, left only. Hip flexibility: prone frog stretch, standing pancake stretch, sumo squats.
W - Westway, leading routes to 6a and some falls practice. Shoulder/elbow conditioning: reverse curls, handstands, side planks.
T - Hip flexibility.
F - Fingerboard pick-up as above, stopped early as feeling tweaky. Walked 10km.
S - Shoulder/elbow conditioning. Hip flexibility. Fingerboard pick-up as above.
S - 8-9km brisk walk today, and most days this week.
A bunch of test results came back, nothing meriting heroic broadly positive, somewhat raised LDL so GP wants to put me on statins as they do, not sure what I think about this. A brief search on dietary advice reveals the usual complete mess of conflicting information apparently riddled with biases and agendas. Any suggestions on where to start, I'm more than happy to read original papers. Trying to organise a follow-up with the medical team.
Not much climbing this week. After about 75 practice falls this month short ones now feel casual again. I've noticed it makes a positive difference if I focus on the landing zone rather than the bolt when I drop off. As it's often when I’m eyeballing the bolt that I'm most gripped on lead this is something to practise when I've got another couple of hundred in the bank.
Back feels good, shoulders feel good, wrists feel good, knees feel good, hips are not too bad considering, (left) ankle is creaky, (right) elbow is sore which is tiresome. Stretching a bit more consistently, not a habit yet.
I should probably give my fingers a short break and wonder if a complete week of rest from any kind of arm exercise might be in order for my elbow which, after six weeks of mild-moderate activity, is frustratingly unchanged.

Perhaps what is messed up is people seeing it as somehow being undignified to be demented and incontinent or whatever. When we are new born babies, we are like that and everyone is fine with that.
One significant difference is that a new born child has ~75 years of quality living ahead of them, whereas a dementia patient is unlikely to have lots of quality living ahead of them. Personally I hope assisted dying is legal by the time Im at risk. It seems to work well in other countries, and forcing people to suffer through poor-quality of life with little hope of enjoyment seems unusually cruel.

Wow Stone, another  heavy topic thread. Like your style! Having more than 2 decades of working in elderly care, complex dementia & intensive care, including the first two waves of COVID, I’ve seen a lot of death. Much of it quite drawn out and horrible for both the person and their loved ones. So from a professional perspective I’m a strong believer that the approach to care and its delivery can be a lot better. From a personal perspective, having had a family member have a prolonged painful and mentally painful end stage of life due to cancer, my feelings are the same.
