It's the only explanation. I was actually really keen to 'do something' today.
I was going to go for a joglet but the snow put paid to that - J went out in the car earlier, intending to go to town, but was back 10 mins later saying the roads were just treacherous. No way I am trying to run in that!! I am hampered enough as it is.
So it was turbo time instead.
Does it sound weird to say I am actually starting to enjoy my turbo sessions?
I have a 'spinning' video with lots of not so beautiful and not so skinny people in it, which is actually fairly motivating. It's a really long vid and there's no way I can do the whole thing in one go, so I just pop in at a random point and do as much as time allows from that point on...
Today however, I actually chose the middle section because I knew it had a lot more <ahem> 'hill work' in it.
Having someone telling you what to do - albeit a little man on a computer screen - and when to change gear, get your arse off the sadde, pedal harder etc does make for a better workout.
Anyway, I had fun and it scratched that itch that I was surprised to have. Cool.
Now, the hair... Hmmm
There is still a lot of pink left in there - there's a bit too much and it makes the brown look a funny colour. It's not a good look. Still, I have a lot of hats so that's okay.
And I have a couple more tricks up my sleeve. (not including J's kind offer)
So, 50 minutes of pedalling with HR average 162, max 184 - I tried VERY hard today (my theoretical max is 182!!) - and allegedly 750 calories burned.
Pizza for tea. :-)
(really, but home made so pretty healthy too)
