Travelling, not running

Dear reader. Talking to myself again, you see. First sign. There are plenty of others.

So there's been a bit of a hickup with my other half's salary this month and we're pretty much broke before we start. Therefore no drinking (see previous post) and I'm going to have to take to the bike again instead of using the bus to get to work.

I used to do this regularly anyway, but took the shortest route possible (loads of buses and traffic lights and daft pedestrians, no cycle lanes) and just tried to get it over with as quickly as possible. I'm trying to make it more enjoyable now, though, as the marathon training's going to be enough grind to be going on with.

So it was low gears, down to the seafront, taking it easy, dedicated cycle lanes 90% of the route for me this morning. And it really was nice. Bright and sunny, but a nice sea breeze, no traffic, peace and quiet.

What used to kill me and take 25 minutes was very relaxing and took 35. I was still early to work. JUST NEED TO GET MacBook SORTED AND GET SOME WORK DONE. Not all that bovvered, though, to be honest!
