| By myself this week for the first time in months, so had moments of "can't be bothered"ness. Nevertheless, the ride was OK. Did the same loop as a couple of weeks ago to Islip, Endstone etc, and did it faster, despite being alone. Maybe I'm getting fitter or something. |

| Was going to do a hilly ride today but riding home from the office my legs felt bad enough. I probably could have got 'round, but don't think it would have done me any good. Have a bit of a sore throat as well ... |

| Strangely, the heaters were off, the fans were on and there weren't many people around in the gym this morning. Once they turned off the tele-ad for TimeLife's Greatest Ever Love Songs and put on MTV, it was close to the best conditions ever. |

| Am going to do a session on the turbo trainer later. Only a totally slacking wimp with a migraine and no legs would skip a session like that. |

| Hey, well I made it! An evening turbo session - what is happenning to me? I took it reasonably easy though, after my effort the other week in the gym where I died after 3 minutes. So I did 1,2,2,1,1,2,2,1 minute intervals with 1 minutes rest, and 20 minutes warm-up/down.
This is the first time I've used my new turbo trainer. The first thing I noticed was how jerky it was, as if my tyre was slipping on the turbo thing. But then I realised that if I pedalled more smoothly it went away. Great! I'm forced to pedal really smoothly and evenly, so hopefully it will do my pedalling technique some good and improve my efficiency. Then I won't have to train so much, right? So no more afternoon turbo sessions for me! |

| Cumnor loop again with 5 efforts. I procrastinated for a couple of hours because I thought my legs would be dead, but they were fine. I felt better on the last effort than I did last week, so that's always good. |

| Pretty good session. Felt like I didn't recover particularly well between sets, but then I've been a bit slack the last couple of months. Really need a couple of good weeks with no slacking off. |
