Finding the chase and cutting to it

Since the long ride last week, I’ve been focusing on sub 10 mile runs but my training plan says today is my last day and given most of my riding has been in East Anglia the past six weeks, I need to ensure I am ready for them there hills of Berkshire.

Where I live is not bad for that, given a stop watch and a direction to head off in, I should be able to fill two hours easily.

But I am finding things to do instead.  What is wrong with me?

I’ve proven I can do the distance, I’ve lost some weight with the training, I’ve even got a small spring in my step.

Today though, my brain is prioritising other things.  Focusing on minute details that normally don’t matter.  I even washed up lunch rather than get in to my ever so comfortable cycling shorts.

The sun is shining, I seem to have kicked my cold, to quote Lemmings™, “let’s go!”
