Run - but I can’t remember the details

It’s been a bit of a busy week, so I didn’t get around to adding this to my logbook until this afternoon. I was going to write something witty and amusing, but now I can’t remember the details, other than the fact that it was really cold & windy. Oh, that was it: Shana has...

Fear of Fireworks

Fear of Fireworks

Yesterday was pretty windy (like a steady 20mph), but generally bright and cool - ideal cycling weather. Or at least it was when I was cycling due East, with the wind to my back! For the morning, this was not the case, as I rode into Newcastle to spend half a day with a client....

Fireworks - Ooooh! Aaaaaah!

Workout: Type: Cycle Date: 11/04/2007 Time: 14:24:26 Total Time: 00:45:00.00 Distance: 3 miles Average Speed: 4 mph OK, so an average speed of 4mph on a bike is . . . well, maybe good enough to win a walking race against someone who’s running twice the distance, but on a bike, nothing to write home about.

Today I took Trixie the Fixie, and as agreed with the client, left her parked up in the Stores department, with my helmet, glasses, track mits, water bottle, and cycle computer on the bike. Three hours later, when...

New Handlebar Grips / Failed Drafting

Today was my first ride on Wilf with the new handlebar grips I bought last night. It was done over three stages, which also gave me time to adjust the angle of the grips so that the heels of my palms were resting on the flats, rather than the edges - even so, I...

Scabby Knees

Today is Thursday, which means a 06:30 run with Shana. After her fall on Tuesday, she’s got some great scabby knees to show off and a great blue bruise on the left one. I’m not sure if running is like cycling, where you get to boast about your falls and show off your scars for...
