| Back on the Arran trails - and it's sun-shining! |
After having the audacity to take a week off on holiday to
go mountain biking, coming home to a pile of work did not help with getting
back to the training routine. And to add
to the misery 5 days after being home I started with a cold – no doubt from the
flight.
But on the bright side the weather has improved
significantly, cold, bright and little to no wind. Perfect for getting out there (if I can find
28 hours in the day).
Sunday I was still travelling home and went straight into a
wedding fair in the afternoon and Monday I had no real excuse for not training
other than the huge pile of work that had to be prioritised and waded
through. But Tuesday is coaching night,
so a good kick start back to routine. I
really thought I should have felt really good, but my legs were sluggish and I
huffed and puffed my way through – probably the cold starting to have an
effect.

| Part of my benchmark route |
Thursday I managed a steady undulating 5 miles, on my
benchmark route. It wasn’t my fastest
but not too bad considering the amount of Day nurse floating around in my
system.
And this morning I did a quick blast on the bike, in
beautiful sunshine. Out on the trails I
didn’t see a soul and it was lovely, before heading back to catch up with some
more work.
