When I got home on Monday I really fancied going for a bike ride. The only problem was, after bargin my way through 5 miles of rush hour traffic to get home, the thought of going out again wasn't really appealing. I didn't want to waste the great weather sitting inside so I went for a longish walk up to Graves Park, which was really nice.
I'm hoping that when I get a "going to work" bike the change from the rubbish bike to my good bike when I get home will be enough to put the shine back into an evening bike ride. In the meantime, I'm trying to find another way to get to work so that I don't start to see my road bike as a form of transport rather than a fun bit of sports kit (if you see what I mean).
This morning I ran to work. It took me 35 minutes, which is around 5 minutes longer than it would take in the car. The last hills were predictably horrific, especially as I overtook a cyclist going up one of them and wasn't going to let him overtake me back!
Not sure I'll be able to keep up running 10 miles a day - but if I can I'll get very good at running!

I sometimes worry about you. You'll be drink Perrier water before long.
I'm sure there is such at thing as too much exercise.
Although, on day I would like you to come across an Olympic runner or cyclist on a hill :-D
