Being a Hero
Tonight I was on my bike and I was watching Heroes at the same time. To some extent watching that episode completely took my mind off the fact that I didn't like riding my bike today. I felt tired and out of it, but by the time Heroes was over, so was my bike ride and I didn't realise I had finished it. Looking back on the files it looks pretty good and steady though, so I can't complain. I did the whole ride at a cadence of between 90 and 110 in a not-too-easy gear and managed to get over 20km in 45 minutes.
Its only a week and a half until my first duathlon (I'm going to have to twist Andy's arm into coming along and taking pictures to prove that I took part!) and I can't say that I feel completely confident about it all just yet. I think the fact that I was out for a few weeks might have to do with this, but we'll see how it goes. The weekend after that I'm taking part in a half marathon... another feat that I can only hope to complete. The run last night has left my back slightly tender - I still can't do much high-impact sports and running for an hour seems to have taken its toll. I think the anger that everyone thought I was supposed to feel is coming out now. One of those things that I'll have to deal with.
In a month my mom's here... can I ask for more?
