Think I'm up to around half a dozen days in 2021 where I've said something along the lines of "I'd quit climbing if I could think of something else to do with my life". Which isn't great given we're only 18 days into the new year *obviously it may not help, but sometimes knowing others are in a similar boat is of some solace!I'm sure its not an uncommon feeling! January is so fucking grim anyway its probably mostly that, but as you say at least in a normal January the pub would be open! I've also had a recurrence of an old tweak recently, I think the cold and my poor circulation is to blame.I just bought myself an ab wheel so now I have a new toy in the evenings at least.

Unlike almost everyone else on this thread, I am fully suffused with syke.
M - 8k run, flat, pavement. So much easier than my normal loop (hilly, off road). 40 min which I'm happy with, especially it was a new route so there was a fair bit of stopping to check the map....W - 5k run, flat, pavement. Shorter version of Monday's run. 25 min, OK but didnt push too hard as could still feel monday in the legs....
Down 5kg since start of Jan. Would be cool to manage 10 by the end of the month.
I can't/don't do anything (front levers etc) which could result in me falling onto my back or head in the event of failure.
