The good, the bad, and the ugly

The good? Managed an 80 miler on Wednesday, cycling to Farnham & back. Not quick, so we are likely to have some long days in the saddle, but at least 100 looks attainable.
The bad? Todays 21 miler was meant just as a loosener after yesterday, which was fine, but I really didn’t fancy going much further anyway. Consecutive days around the 100 mark is a little scary still.
The ugly? (make your own jokes!), Tried running again on Monday, which started very promisingly and ended up with an aching back and feeling as though I’ve been kicked in the ribs. Looks like running is off the menu for a while, but fortunately I can still cycle……
