Human Mental Health

 

Individual brain metabolism

Confusion, depression, dark

The sun cometh up

A new dawn

Realisation (woke)

The depths of despair become

Teaching for the sky

There are no fears just opportunities

No limits but...

Morality, self-sabotage, those who govern.

Like The Rich they rule and don't have fears.


Now what if..

The cloud lifted for all on one day at the same time

The possibility of a collective human consciousness but...

Brains do not allow this

The Rich do not want this

Those who support our leaders do not want this

Then the fears remain but not the same day or even time

This it is decreed, forever consigned to..

Human Mental Health

But ....what if

Your slumber is poked by a sign

Your thoughts bubble is pricked

Your very being is provoked

Then what

How can the non-Rich rise

What will prick their conscience

Can consciousness be collective

Nah it will never happen

Show me what it looks like


To endeavour to take the challenge without a blueprint is the very essence of the journey that is the struggle known as life.

(inclusive of faults, mistakes, imperfection, etc.)

BYU Blog 13

 So my 12 month journey to my first Backyard Ultra, at age 62, is over. Saturday 13th September. 10 am set off on first lap of Rasselbock BYU Hardwick. Having assembled a crew of friends and practised avidly the event was now real.  I had adopted and practised a mindset that does not set a limit but also takes account of where you are at so as to be aware of realistic personal aims. I did not make this known. All I said was minimum 8 laps (hours).  My actual ultra distance achievement before was 40 miles in 2023. My approach of 3 mins walk, 3 min jog acted as my basic approach in the absence of chatting to other participants, singing to myself, saying hello to marshals and passers by. Having clarity about how to distract yourself from the monotony and repetitiveness I think is important. Having achieved 7 laps in 6 hours at two training Rasselbock events I was assured of 7 laps hence minimum 8. As time ticked by and 47 minutes per lap became 51 and eventually 54 and not m...

BYU Blog 11

 Well having managed to do 7 laps in 6 hours at Hardwick Hobble and my second slow marathon of the year I thought why not build on that. So since week after marathon I set a programme of 9 weeks of 60k per week. Then three week taper to BYU. In the middle of week four I have adapted to accommodate home life, general health and energy levels. Whilst testing endurance consecutive days long run/shorter run, including race days, using Parkrun with pre-run and just 10k every day, one rest day. Walking nearly every day continues as does taichi and strength and stretch work. Not forgetting plenty rest in my retired, life of Riley according to some style. #milestogether blog continues to provide insight to the byu/ultra world. Still using format, soon to simulate overnight, napping and different food stuffs as the race gets closer. Last Sunday I marshalled at Rasselbock Running Marathon Day at Sherwood Pines. Great to see a big marathon set up for a relatively new company. Great to see so ...

Restoring French Chateaux

 The restoration of chateaus in France, by some of the British, is a slight on the French revolutionaries. The fact that a TV programme highlights and praises their efforts is ironic. Their reinstating of 'business as usual'   by becoming the Lord or Lady of their manor is a real smack in the gob for the history of the French Revolution. I know many of you will say I am jealous, moaning and other more derogatory languages but imagine French people restoring castles in the UK. Well maybe not because unfortunately the British revolution failed to dismantle the prevailing order. They still own the 'chateaus' Stately Homes, charge us to visit them and their grandeur. You see history does help explain our current state. We are still slaves, living under the illusion of democracy and expecting them to solve the problems they created. I am well aware this is a view not supported by many whereas voting is supported by 70%. Thus democracy's maths deems me wrong but only nume...
