Thank you Dave. Appreciated. Yes, it is mph. I think it's pretty good for a 67 year old. Thing is I've struggled with motivation for months plus I've gained 3kg. I know it doesn't sound much but I'm a climber and weight makes a big difference. 2020 I was in the form of my life and setting great PBs, often top five, sometimes first, in my age group on some big hills including top 💯 climbs. This year I'm struggling to get close to some of those times.
Don't mean to blow my own trumpet it's simply what I was doing. Anyway I'm back on it now. I understand where I've gone wrong and I'm going to put it right!! 👍

Would have gone bigger, but with everything else currently in place that was the biggest that would fit on that wall, and I wasn't about tomstart moving sheet about and filling holes and stuff for the sake of a tv.

What difference does one little inch make.

On a TV... not much.
On some other things, that depends!
I would be very happy with that!
I understand that... I was struggling even before the pandemic, but that really knocked me back!
Ha ha - a few months ago I had gone up to about 11 kg over the weight I want to be. I'm NOT a climber, and that made me even less of one! (I've lost 3 of the 11 kilos now and am aiming to lose the other 8 by next spring so I can enjoy the hills next year, rather than struggling up them.)
I hope to get back to a pretty reasonable level of fitness again, but I don't think that it is possible for me to get better than that due to the permanent damage done to me by illness. When I get to 'reasonable' though, then I'll go on to see if I can improve on that.

Since I've been feeling better Ive been lifting heavy again, very heavy, and as of this morning I'm 119.7kg. 3 here or there would bother me not.

You'd be working the other way round... I bet if you went on holiday and came back to discover that you'd lost 3 kg of hard-earned muscle, you wouldn't be happy about it!

good to hear that you are 'lifting heavy' again
no idea why anyone would do that - but it is something that makes you yourself - and after all that has happened I is great that you are getting back to what you call normal
personally I call "lifting heavy" getting my ebike up some steps!
although this year I have been a bit ?down? and avoided the steps route and some steep hills
I must try to get back to some steep stuff (on an ebike - to be fair) - at teh end of the day I feel better - just not at the time!!!!
Thanks for reminding me!
