The weather has turned decidedly chilly, and I was quite glad yesterday to be in the warm on the exercise bike for my training. That said, it took some will power to get up and get going.
I had posted on my Facebook page that I had '1001 excuses not to exercise'. Wrestling with my desire to do nothing, I remarked to hubby that while I had so many excuses, I have one very good reason to exercise (meaning the marathon). 'Yes', said hubby. 'You're sat on it.' Charming!
So, 10 minutes later and TV remote in hand, I settled down for a long slow cycle, and completed 20km in 53 minutes.
It was the first decent exercise I'd done for a week, and although it was hard to get going I felt much better by the end.
A friend has kindly offered that I can borrow their treadmill over the winter, and I am very tempted to say 'yes'. I don't want to get behind in my training schedule, and the prospect of heading out through the front door when it's dark and wet is not terribly appealing.
My main job this week is to confirm who is or isn't attending my quiz night, as the place that we're using has asked for confirmation of food choices a week in advance. I'm also having doubts about some of my questions - are they too easy or too hard? - so am constantly researching alternatives. If nothing else, I've improved my general knowledge!
