We're all getting up there I guess ha. I used to be a decent enough casual runner, I would try to clock a sub 5 mile as my sort of annual check in. But now I am always training around some sort of injury and I've had to add 30 seconds on to that baseline and be happy with it. Sore achilles for the past 6-7 years (gets better then I overdo it), elbow tendinitis for the better part of four years (trips to PT, gets better, then I overdo it), IT band pain (when my achilles isn't hurting). Sprained ankle every once in awhile too. I wish I could climb but I'm at a strength/conditioning gym 3-5 days a week and just can't add anything on top of that - but I know enough to know that I need that to keep some baseline functioning. Total recovery has seemed to be sort of a pie in the sky notion since I turned 35 (which is some years ago now), lol. But when something is hurting at least there is always something else to do that avoids it! I was just telling my wife though that I need to recalibrate my routines for my current age. Less high intensity and more yoga and walking I think is in the cards. It's just hard for me to "slow down" so to speak, moreso recently than in some years, which is all the more reason that I need to.

Wait till you hit your 50s JW, recovery takes an age.. i've only just recovered from an achilles injury from June 2024 I'd had time away from tennis while i'd been working on the bathroom project.. then i played one of the neighbours on the local clay courts.. i'd never played on clay before and wans't used to the loose powdery surface.. maybe Chucks wern't the best choice of footwear either? At the end of the match i limped home, elevated / iced but by the time i went to bed, i had to go upstairs, backwards on my arse... i couldn't play tennis for 6weeks although cycling was fine. @MJF9 is sick of hearing about it First match thereafter, post-physio.. i strapped my ankle up tight af but tore the calf in my left leg (typical tennis-leg injury) i heard an audible POP! .. I was trying to put less pressure on my injured achilles.. to add insult to injury, i had an allergic reaction to the lycra in the strapping so my lower leg was covered in what looked like burn blisters.. for 6mths after just carrying bags of shopping from the car would hurt my heel.. i couldn't even put my feet up on the footstool. 14mths later i'm now pain free again.. 10am this morning, waiting for the offspring. Do you think Taylor Fritz has to bring a brush to sweep the court..

Bought a Bay Meadows Sweater in dark grey from a sale today. Very very nice. Not quite the quality of Buzz Rickson but similar and a class above Merz B. Schwanen. Perfect fit and very soft quality.

@julian-wolf generally in the same boat as you. after having a baby last year and starting a 9-5 after some time in academia I barely squeeze 2 sessions a week if I’m lucky. It’s mostly the one session on Saturday morning where everyone’s still asleep for me. I’ve sort off switched to climbing mostly on moonboard since I can’t really have projects in the “regular” gym sections, since they change fully within a month. And I can only do 4 sessions a month. Been mostly trying to maintain the same level rather than improving. but hi, at least I don’t have to buy new climbing shoes every 10 months now 😅

Well if anyone can make it to Osaka on September 21st I've got first dibs. The S2000HX are very nice. I think the war details are nice and set them apart from most standard Samurai offerings and the cut is properly wide / straight.

I actually ended up grabbing a pair of the S2000HX. The vignette about the Slash collaboration made me curious about an Otokogi denim WW2 model and the simplified detailing and cut of the S2000HX looked pretty good (measurements seem very close to Rockets on paper). I decided that the S2000HX would be far easier to get than the Slash-Samurai collaboration and the Slash inseams that I have seen are far too short for me anyway.

Yeah those look sweet. I’ve always loved how Samurai’s denims age, but their standard cuts & detailing have never spoken to me. If I could get in on this run I probably would

Thanks @chicote. At this point 1–2 times a week is just about my goal, but man, having a regular 9–5 with a commute on either end makes it feel a lot harder than when I was working @ the university right down the street. Shame about the injuries. When I first stopped, it was on the tail of bad tendinitis in one of my wrists, and I’m really hoping to keep that behind me. Wishing you luck w/ working past your hand issues! Those can suck big time. @scooby That’s a good angle. It’s true that getting fully rested & loosened out feels like it can take months sometimes. A lot of my best climbing (or bicycling, or whatever) sessions have been right on the tail ends of longer sedentary spells. You’re right, too, that feeling humbled can be a good motivator in itself (I’m right there with you, these days)

I' actually not sure. There's no real logic behind when I post other than I find myself with a quiet moment in the day. Will try to do that soon (or do it again?).

36 I’d reckon, for this and the Type 1 Flynn had posted

@Broark same pair l posted last September on the ww2 details thread 🙂

For some reason Japanese denim lingo uses スレーキ, "sleek" or "slake", as the term for twill pocket pocket bags, though occasionally it gets used in this context as well, when the pocket bags are made of a different material like flannel. I have no idea what the etymological origin of this is, as there doesn't seem to be anything particularly sleek about any twill pocket material I've ever seen. Incredible pair of flannel S501xx, though! Thanks for sharing.

Funny coincidence, mate i've been looking for a while and finally pullef the trigger. Price wise the Levi's versions are higher than the leepros and wrangler versions, but those are less common imo. Got a type I in cord from sassafras as well, but that one won't come out until fall arrives here.

And these jeans could be yours for a cool 15 million yen...insane. Some more photos here.

Have you posted a fit pic of that Junky 46 jacket? Sorry if I’ve missed it, Ive been in and out of the waywt thread this year.. mostly out

I've always assumed it's some sort of translation fumble.

Is sleek an English word for pocket bags or where does it come from?

They are really doing cool stuff at Samurai with their local cotton farm and their openness towards collaborations like the one with Slash. https://www.instagram.com/top_americanclothing/reel/DN2T29SXpz6

Definitely, idk if they make this model anymore tho

Ha perfect.

Same. Actually the only 40 I've had from SC is the '46 junky I got from you, which is probably one of my best fitting jackets. (I had a 38 in the '53 but sold it). I feel a bit cursed because in general I need the sleeve and torso length of the 38 with the chest and shoulders of the 40, but sometimes things line up well enough anyways. Or I just don't move my arms as much ha.

@ATWM it’s from handling green boxes at work, washes out then they’re back to this state a day or two later

^ That is quite some green coming through! I've never seen that on LVC's - is that common? (I know some models certainly seem to have a green cast, I just haven't seen anything quite like this is what I mean.)
