    It's been a while since I did any exercise (that didn't involve solely my right hand).

    Today I've been WFH and it's been looking like a lovely day out of the window.  Blue skies, sunshine, nothing like the last few weeks.

    On a whim I decided to get my bike out at lunchtime, for a quick ride.  I did get quite into cycling a couple of years ago but then over the last two years spent some time awaiting for a medical way forward.  Now, I have the answer to that question - I can ride but I have a very compelling reason to watch and control my heart rate.

    So this is the first time I've ridden since last summer, but fortunately the chain lube had done it's business.  A quick pump up of the skinny tyres and it was ready.

    I even remembered how to clip in and more importantly unclip.  Always a bonus.

    Now all of that is probably making me sound like the expert - and I'm not.  Today's effort was a mere 6 miles, and at a moderate pace.   I've never been a racer, I just tend to cycle at a pace my legs are happy with in a gear that's not too hard going.  But I survived, and it's a start to gradually and very carefully getting fitter again. On sunny days anyway.

    Well done for getting out. Hope you can do it more and build your health back up

    A little milestone today on my route back to running a bit further and faster. The first time since Christmas that I've run five miles without walking intervals. I'm not going to break any speed records but I was pleased with 41:53. 

    180 press ups today too 🙂

    That's a lot of press ups, I struggle to do 20. Joys of being a cyclist, my strength is in my legs

    Nothing boring about that. You might be otherwise engaged ... for instance, I'm surprised they don't give us options for having sex, or a wank 😊

    If those where options I would have ticked a few more boxes 😉
