Today is a cycling day. Unfortunately, today is also a rainy day. Although this means that I did not cycle to work today, it does mean that I have been able to spend all of today being smug about my excellent decision-making skills as the sky has got darker and darker and the streets have got wetter and wetter.
It also means that I am now multi-tasking because, as I type, I am on the turbo trainer, getting in a few leg-revolutions. You may recall that I have previously had issues with the turbo trainer due to the saddle being, essentially, like a bird's perch (although it was clearly made for blokes, not birds, which is another issue). Today, I finally managed to get round to switching the saddle with the one from my bike. This is much more comfortable, but it is a bit on the high side compared to what I'm used to - the seat post is much longer than the one on the trainer bike and won't sit all the way down into the frame. It's not too high though - my hips aren't moving up and down with the pedal rotation - it just feels a bit odd.
This session is giving me the opportunity to try to flush out last night's Speednet-related fatigue from my legs. I've found that as I've got fitter from a cardiovascular perspective, I've been moving a bit faster and more flexibly on the netball court, meaning that I've started to wake up aching the next day as I find a few more muscle groups I'd forgotten about.
Tomorrow we're going on an exciting adventure and then we're going swimming. Bizarrely, where we swim will depend on the weather - check back tomorrow and all will be revealed!
