Day 49 – Week 7 – 7 mins

So, while going for my second-ever-bike-ride-in-a-million-years today, I decided I should actually embrace the rather bumpy riverside track we were travelling along, instead of whinging about it.  My bike does not have particularly good suspension, and I was being jolted around all over the place, as we trundled along.  But, as I was feeling the vibrations shoot through me, I decided it was kind of like having my own personal power plate – you know, those machines people are standing on at the gym, which vibrate away all the fat in their thighs.  All those crazy people paying a fortune for gym membership, when all you have to do is get yourself a bike and ride along the tow path of the River Thames.  If only they knew!

So yes – I’m pleased to say, I now consider myself a regular cyclist – having got myself in the saddle two weekends in a row!

But back to the basics.  I decided to venture outside this morning, and it seems I wasn’t the only one. While going for my gentle five minute jog around the block, I passed three other people doing the same thing. Though, if I was to be honest, they WERE moving quite a bit quicker than I was.  But nevertheless, I was pleased to see I wasn’t the only crazy one exercising on a Sunday morning.

I did of course do my two minutes of stretching as well. And then, after a shower and sneaking back into bed, I discovered my fella didn’t even know I’d gone, and didn’t believe me when I told him I’d been out for a run.

I will have to make a little bit more noise next time….
