Astroglide.
Astroglide is kind of a weak sauce lube. Liquid Silk is a much better general purpose option.

You could opt to avoid it and simply die. There's always a choice. But sometimes, like this time, there is none you like.Well, I'm f*cked. I really don't want the surgery.
Incidentally, my dad has a similar issue. Always run 10km and half-marathons until his mid-40s, and cut back to 5-10km runs every second day for fitness when not working on their property. Found he had high blood pressure and high Cholesterol despite the doctor telling him he was one of the fittest 55 year old's he'd seen recently. Cut out a few foods he liked, and took some medication and all is back to normal. (He turned 60 this year).My heart rate is only at 52ppm, but my blood pressure is at 136 over 74.
It's normal for BP to increase slightly as you get older, and it shouldn't affect your health. Too many doctors go by readings and want 70 year olds to have the same BP as 20 year olds, then put them on pills if their BP is only a little high. And don't feel bad. I just took mine about 15 minutes after a 21 mile ride. 144/90, pulse 52 bpm. Granted, I just ate two bags of Doritos in the last few days, and I'm probably dehydrated from the ride, but those aren't exactly stellar readings. I should take my BP right after waking up. A few years ago when I did that it was consistently around 100/60 and about 45 bpm. I wouldn't take pills, either. That's a downward spiral where you eventually need more pills to counteract the side effects of the pills you're already taking.Apparently, having a great cardio does nothing for blood pressure. I've just have mine measured. My heart rate is only at 52ppm, but my blood pressure is at 136 over 74. Despite the fact that I've trained more regularly recently and that I've cut sodium to a minimum in my food for several years, my blood pressure still often spikes. No way I'll start taking pills for that because once you start this, you can't stop.
Oh well, dying from a heart attack is still better than dying of cancer.
That's an horrible news. I hope she doesn't take it too badly. There are people who are able to look at the bright side of everything, no matter the obstacles and complications they face. I hope she's like that....and my wife on Saturday was told there is a 99% chance she has MS. She just needs a Lumbar Puncture done to confirm a few things, as the MRIs are showing very-very small lesions (almost too small to see, so they are not 100% on the MS diagnosis, but are using the LP to confirm the inflammation of the spinal cord and test on the fluid itself).
The good news it's in the early stages, so treatment should mean a somewhat normal life for the next 10-20 years, but looks like she'll be a stay-at-home mum for life now... Now just need to tell the family...
LM, sorry to hear about your troubles...
Had a crap week myself... The microwave is playing up, the Blu-Ray player died, two DVD players are acting up, the car needs new tires (and lack of cash), and my wife on Saturday was told there is a 99% chance she has MS.

Hi Guys,
Thank you for the support. Unfortunately, she's not taking it too well, as it just topped off a whole slew of health issues she's faced over the last 3 years. But, I'm of the opinion, it's early days, it does change anything immediately so why worry about it... I'm just hoping my attitude rubs of her a little bit.
Red Sox, yay!
