Continued Effort

On Thursday night I was given a courtesy car by the garage which means I now have the option to drive to work in the mornings.

I did this on Friday and I was accused of looking bleary-eyed. In fact, I didn't feel on top form all day. This was definitely down to the lack of riding/running in the morning. I usually feel invigorated by the time I go through the doors to my office but on Friday I felt like crawling back into bed.

I was pretty tired last week and felt like I needed a week off exercise. However, the exact opposite has happened: Firday night I went skiing, Saturday I went for a long walk, Sunday morning I went for a run, Monday I rode to work and then did turbo training in the evening and today I've run to work.

Admittedly, last night's turbo training was curtailed by me thinking that there was a burgular in the house when the cellar door popped open for no reason whatsoever. I carried on for a bit but was too freaked out to properly get my head down.

My base level of fitness has significantly improved since last year - yipee!
