Don't want to preach and we all know I'm a bit of a mental health warrior. BUT get out there, get in fresh air (ish living on the sodding west Yorkshire conurbation)... If players, former players, random RL eejits from the toughest sport there is can talk. Every bugger can. Unfortunately there’s still a lingering machismo in Judo, especially among the old timers, despite the tragedy of one of the U.K.’s best ever players, Craig Fallon, committing suicide not so long ago. No idea how you get past that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how you get past that. Takes a long time and crucially as we discussed today. It takes respected and in a macho sport "a fxxxxxx hard lad to stand up and open up" It also helps in RL that we've not had the racial and homophobic issues associated with other sports so mental health could be prioritised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_M Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Good morning. It’s bright and sunny, perfect for a jaunt on the bike. Unfortunately my good lady is still unwell so there goes that plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeHorton Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Just sinking a pint at home. This is my favourite beer not cheap but love it, I'm pretty much tee total presently but the odd one won't hurt. A nice way to end my day and start the weekend 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_M Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Good morning. After two days of sunshine, with intentions of having a nice little jaunt out on the bike the weather turns grotty. And I test positive for covid. Bugger. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you feeling with it? I'm hearing it's less of a coughing fit spree, and more a head cold now from those around me. Know a couple who woke up with a fever, having some weird hallucinations. I got away with just the room spinning when I came down with it. Not a good mix for riding on the bike, but hopefully the cold snap this week is just a snap. There's always next week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always next week I’ve had a metallic taste and smell for a few days, shortness of breath (which I ascribed to asthma but since I was recently put on steroid treatment is unlikely), headache, stomach cramps, runny nose, and slight dizziness. My good lady is on the tail end of her infection, a few more days and hopefully no long covid, and she should be ok. I seem to be following a few days behind her… 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopping testing doesn't make it go away nor does it stop you suffering when you do get it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
