Picking up my skirt

There is nothing quite like someone suggesting you have not got what it takes, the weather picking up and a denied opportunity to go for a bike to get you going again.  When I blogged, 'Got any Thoughts', I got one.  A clonking great big one, that set me off thinking 'I'm not worthy' for the weekend!  Then the weather picked up and it got warmer, which is always a bonus to making you feel good about things. Finally there was, I thought, an opportunity to go for a bike ride on Sunday, but let us say Sarah did not agree!

Saturday morning I woke early, thanks to not sleeping because of that 'clonking great thought' and thought swimming.  Looked out the window and saw 'wet', too wet to go to the lake I thought!  So I went to the Dorking Masters Session instead.  A busy session with half the running club there, so I went into the second lane and had a storming swim (storming for me anyway).

Come Monday, I was in full on, 'I will do this' mode and knocked out a 40 min run.  This is a run that normally takes 45 mins to cover, I felt like I was flying.  Then on Tuesday I did 80 mins on the turbo trainer in the garage.  Pity to not be on the road, but 2 sleeping children in doors meant I needed to be at home.
