Integration

The weekend's been fab. Done loads and caught up with Dad and Giles (I was the only one to avoid the alco-fest and subsequent hangover from hell though - gutting at the time but smug-inducing afterwards!) and also managed to finish off my week. Alas, woke up on Saturday with a pretty sore calf and shin so have decided to listen to the warnings and swap to bike until it eases. Also lining up treatments with masseur and an osteopath (free sessions I earned rescuing someone's dog!!). So, swapped Sat and Sun around and did a hour turbo as a replacement for the run whilst watching 'So you think you can dance' (toilet) and 'Take me Out' (double toilet) when I could have been out celebrating Alice and Paul's engagement instead : (

Then, as forecast, the sun put his hat on today and as Chris was finally released from his 36-hour working day so I did a two-hour ride which Chris and Dora joined me on with her on the bike seat. Had a lovely brew at Hampton Court and then did some 'through and off' (which translates as me being made to go on the front far too many times). Anyway, 2 hours 6 mins, 29.36 (Chris wouldn't let me round it up) miles and 1031 calories later, session and week were done. Felt great, didn't feel too depleted afterwards and Chris said I looked much stronger than before. Big smile on my face - still that might be the 2 glasses Oyster Bay that I've had to treat myself with : )
