Bigger Steps
Still not running and still getting twinges but needed a stretch and the blood flowing after spending all day at my desk… so grabbed 40 odd minutes before my on-call started to get a ride in.
Big difference this time of day, fewer people about as most are having the evening meal. Also with a few dry days the muddy porridge that the canal tow path had turned into since January had finally dried off. No dogs on long leads and walkers plugged into their phones; only moorhens,ducks and rabbits to avoid. And even fewer boats moored up which made the section before Lowes Lane bridge really pleasant to ride – feels like you are way, way out in the boonies.
Equaled my PR down the hill , but getting faster along Sinfin Lane… gotta keep this up. I like seeing the PR’s stacking up each time I go out , indicates I’m getting fitter or at least faster , not bad for a fat old bloke.
Only problem was a new knee twinge on the cool down section before home… hope it’s just it complaining as it hasn’t been getting used.
