Planned rest day.

May as well rest when I'm working and enjoy BHM.

Legs knackered from a tough return to the bike. Worried about my knee. Achilles doesn't feel as bad today as I expected but calves tight. Maybe 5 milers on flat is the only running I'll be able to do for a bit.

Daren't buy the wheels-hate cycling

Update: Was optimistic re: the Achilles. It's pretty fucked and sore to walk on.

So that's decision made- after 4 years of debating I've finally taken the plunge and upgraded my wheels (using my Sierre Zinal budget). Spent sonlong trying to find the right wheels within my budget and they didn't exist but dropped on a deal this morning which was fortunate timing. (Don't get me wrong they're not my dream wheel)

Also bought a few new volumes of the cycling hill climbs books- so it looks like my summer will mainly involve trying to get back on the Strava leaderboards. Thank goodness for strava!!

To be fair- as much as I've been so looking forward to running the routes I had planned in the lakes- I've never cycled there so it should be fun
