I can’t believe I did that
Five years ago, I cycled 100 miles across London, into Surrey and back again.
Having independently cycled to the station in Ipswich this morning, caught a train to London and worked a day then returned home, that seems a very long time ago.
Which is a bit of a shame, because five years ago, I promised myself I’d never let myself get that unfit again.
Of course, it’s easy to blame Covid, but to be fair, the first 6 months I kept my weight down and kept up my exercise. It was after that I let it all slip away.
So, tonight my long muscles are a bit sore and my clothes are gently steaming as my sweat evaporates off them.
I do know I will get fit again. I do know it will get easier. But right now, all I want to do is wrap myself in my duvet and fall asleep. Bon nuit, mes amis.
