After Saturdays rest day, I set off on the bike again on Sunday. Pleasant enough to start with, but by the time I reached Meon Shore thunder was rolling around over the Isle of Wight and over Southampton. Sure enough, by the time I’d reached Stubbington it was spitting with rain, and before I could make it to Tichfield the heavens opened. After a couple of lightning flashes and cracks of thunder scarily close for comfort, I sprinted into Tichfied Village and took refuge under the porch of the Coach & Horses. Thank heaven for pubs, I say. Discretion being the better part of valour, I waited a good 20 mins or so before making a bolt for home. Totally drenched with only 15 miles or so clocked up, but I had managed some speedwork!
\nOn Monday I tried running again. Still 2 mins run, 2 mins walk, etc, not very far, not very fast and woefully out of condition, but the back seemed OK.
\nDecided I needed to work on the running, so had another bash today (Tues). Went a bit further, but still found it really tough….. and now my back is giving me a fair bit of discomfort. Looks like I’ll be sticking to the bike for the forseeable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
