Our first off road bike ride for a while on Saturday. Husband's cold & accompanying chest infection had prevented us from getting out much at all - we've been shut up inside with paint brushes.C came with us & we did the route I call the Portuguese Fireplace loop - easy going 22K with very little road. It was the slightly shorter version of the route that excludes a ford at Rhinefield - it's been raining alot.
No punctures, no tumbles and Husband's lungs were kind of OK - although most uphills were accompanied by the sound of his coughing as his 1.5 lungs struggled a bit! Enjoyable ride - and it was great to catch up with C.
I really fancied a cuppa when we got back the carpark - but I need to invest in a new thermos as ours has stopped keeping water hot. Incentive to take out my credit card!
The bikes are now back in our shed - they had a holiday in Goldfish & Kitty's garage for a few weeks whilst our shed was full of builders & associated stuff. It's good that next time we fancy a bike ride we won't have to disturb GF & K. Very much appreciate them housing our bikes for us.
Monday's running club session went well. Beginners can now run for 3 minutes at a time - brilliant achievement, but I think I need to slow progress a little on Monday as I think 4 mins may be a little too soon. We focused on posture - used crisps held between thumb & forefinger to ensure that we weren't clenching fists - loose hands = relaxed arms = relaxed shoulders = better posture!
Body Combat tonight - no Sassy as she was ill, but her sub gave a different kind of class - it felt less choreographed - but very engaging.
