I want to ride my bicycle

Nov15201012:40 p.m.

Well actually I didn't, but as I have a poorly child at home with me today, that was all that was available!  Poor thing was just about to go to bed last night, I was trying to give her her medicine (which she has to take every day) and she said 'I'm going to heave'...... I brushed it off like the sympathetic earth mother that I am, and she promptly threw up all over the kitchen floor (this was while I was cooking a nice roast dinner for me and my better half)... lovely.

Anyway, no more puke, so on the bike I got this morning.    I actually do enjoy this, radio on, mind wandering all over the place.   I do get quite into it.  I aimed for 30km in 50 mins, burning 500 calories.   Actually managed 30.1km in 50, burning 617 calories. Was very chuffed with that.  I REALLY wanted to get out and run, and a perfect morning it would have been for it too!   Anyway, hopefully will be able to go tomorrow, providing small person has recovered and is back at school.

Am now as far as a shiny Excel document which is in need of information now!   Just got to work out what to do and when.  Feel much better for getting back into it now I must say!

Here's to the next 5ish months of manic exercise in the hope I can do myself justice in April!
