Show us your.......newbie progress! [4 Sep 2012 - 4 Oct 2014]

Went out with hubby and eldest son today. Son went in front and was leaving me behind up a hill. Hubby says "You're not going to let him beat you, are you?" I think he forgets that I have heart failure and I'm on a bucket load of medication for my heart. I'm never going to be able to be as fast as they are. Hmmmph

This was my first ride http://www.strava.com/activities/177226950
This was my most recent ride http://www.strava.com/activities/196880084

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Got up first thing intending to do 35 miles and almost 3000' ascent - got as far as the bathroom and wham...back 'went' - *loody painful.

Sitting here immersed in Ibuprofen Gel, with PK's in my tum.

Consoling myself with very naughty Terrys Chocolate Orange Bar (on offer in Morrisons - 4 for a £1).

Not sure what happened in bed last night to cause this - if my dreams of two hot blondes had been fulfilled then maybe I could understand it. But, as it was a session with my Kindle and a cup of tea I am mystified.

Hope you are all having better days than me.

@SpokeyDokey rest up until you're feeling better. I hate when I don't get to do rides that I have planned.

Get well soon @SpokeyDokey although I don't think this is the best place to discuss your bedroom habits!

@SpokeyDokey Were you role playing the Terry's chocolate advert Indiana Jones style. The lengths some people go to to get out of cycling and stuff themselves with chocolate, only kidding mate, hope you recover soon

So I actually adjusted my seat as it was too low - what a difference. My LBS obviously didn't fit me properly

Shaved another 3 minutes off the whole run from yesterday.

I also set a challenge to beat 10:00 mins on one of the sections just by house - gone from 12 odd minutes to 10:10! Nearly there already

@SpokeyDokey GWS I feel your pain. Third episode of Back pain for me in six weeks. Last night was terrible. I take diuretics as part of my BP medication, so have to make frequent calls of nature. Six times during the night. At one point I was standing next to the bed in total darkness unable to move for 15 minutes. Sheer agony. So I feel for you, as I know what you are going through.
