Can I do it? Yes I can!

Well I woke just before 7am and decided I better get a load of towels washing and the lights needed folding.  It is a lovely day so those freshly washed towels will be dried oh so quickly.

After this I thought I better get on to doing my 40min bike ride that is on my training schedule.  This way it is done and dusted for the day.  I plan to go to the gym later with the PT.

I had already decided to extend my route to make it a 40min ride.  This would be taking me places I hadn’t ridden before.  I was aware that I would need to cross a few roads that would have a build up of traffic for those who are still off to work.

I stepped outside and started riding and was aware that it was cold outside.  My arms were not liking it and I knew it was my fault as didn’t dress warm enough.  Anyway I rode and rode pedalling the whole way.  It was a lovely, beautiful day and a fantastic ride and nice to be out riding again.

I calculated the ride to where I would need to go to then turn back to make it home at the 40min mark but the return ride was a little quicker so had to make a detour to extend the ride.  The work at the gym has obviously paid off as I recovered straight away and had pedalled the whole thing and didn’t find it to strenuous.

I have now looked it up and I rode 10.9km so am happy with that.  I am still on target for the Duathlon.
