There have been excuses, but essentially I hadn't been out on the bike since mid August, save one 5 mile trek to the top of Bredon Hill. May 2011 is fast approaching and I needed to get back out there, even if just to keep up with Rodger and all his rowing and cycling. Well yesterday I managed a little over 17 miles and it felt good.
Brilliant! At least it would be, [or I would certainly feel better] had the reason for my sudden burst of motivation been the thought of the challenge that lays ahead and ensuring I was prepared and at peak levels of fitness.
But no, my motivation, a guilt trip following the demolition of a bag of donuts! Plain and simple gluttony was what it took!
Anyhow, I have broken the trend of not training and am now back in the saddle and raring to go. In fact had it not been raining and fairly windy this morning, I might be out there now. Oh!, no wait a minute, that be them darn excuses again. :)
