I have been getting a little stressed for the last couple days - I was about ready to have a good (friend locked) rant here but I went for a bike ride tonight and suddenly I feel so much better. So you'll be spared the rant.
Since netball stopped I haven't really been getting much fitness in. So about a week ago I started cycling again. I'm hoping to keep it up regularly - mostly not particularly ambitious distances but a few longer trips in there too.
So far, so good. The first couple days I did around 5km, I have done two longer rides at 30km and 26km and tonight I did about 12km. I think that that kind of distance I could happily keep up very regularly. I'm seeing some improvement already - I'm measuring distance and speed with my GPS and my average speed has increased, I'm also feeling less pain after finishing and the hills aren't killing me *quite* as much.
Just imagine what I might be able to do after two weeks...
