Do you check “ Body Battery “ on your Garmin app Mo? I’ve found it eerily prescient when I’ve felt drained, and checking retrospectively has shown a couple of days warning, if you see what I mean.I wished I hadn't botheredWorst I've ever felt I think. Legs like lead and the heart rate and breathing were way up even on the flat let alone the slightest rise in the road.

Yep. I started the day with a full battery. Lol. Sleep was poor as usual though. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to my energy levels or lack of these days.

It arrived at 8.30.
1/4 way through, the hardest part is shovelling it out of the bag!
Btw, still got the bad head and neck, but the pain of shovelling helps me to forget 🥵

Up too bloody early but at least got the last load of washing dried. Back to bed and slept till 08.25. Good! When I went back to bed the weather was bright, dry and still, it's now grey, drizzly and still. Out on the bike at 9.45. Can't decide if I should take my recently cleaned and polished Cervelo or my Kinesis which is still a bit mucky from her last outing. Think I may plumb for the Kinesis.
It's club hill climb championship tonight, part of a series of five between ourselves and two other local clubs. We host this one and it doubles up as the club championship. Some idiot has designated me Start Timekeeper. Never done this before. I've gently protested, gently hinted at my nervousness, all to no avail. I really do not want to do this for fear of screwing up big time. Get it wrong by a second? I hate to think.

Or, more precisely, insomnia, getting old, and overtraining...?Sorry Mo ( retreats behind sofa) it’s called getting old .
Fitness builds in the recovery gaps between the training sessions, which is somewhat hard to achieve when they aren't any gaps!
I have the gaps down to a fine art. It's the actual training sessions that have been a bit thin on the ground since January 2020.

I could be trapped indoors for hours now. It is round #2 of British Gas try to make ColinJ's dumb smartmeters smart again! The visit is booked between 09:00 and 13:00. I hope it is sooner rather than later because the last visit took well over an hour and more is being done this time. If the engineer doesn't arrive until the end of the booked slot and then takes 2 hours, I will be hanging about for more than 5 hours.
Hmm, the forecast is better for this evening, so maybe not such a loss, but I still don't like waiting around for people. I'd like to stroll down to pick up a Metro.

Overtraining was always the thing I was guilty of when I used to train, I was always reluctant to have an easy day, or to step away and have a day off.

Tried different pillows? I've wasted a lot of money over the years trying different ones. I think I will stick with my current orthopaedic shaped one.

Same here. John Lewis has probably survived on my pillow purchases over the years!
I generally just sleep with a neck roll these days, but some days it just doesn't work.

Bonjour tout le monde. Molly walked and now deciding what to do regarding bike ride this afternoon. My last ride was two weeks ago due to bad weather, so: should I go for a nice flat easy one on the promenade or try a more hilly one at the back of Conwy ?

Punters going about in a white pick up obviously looking for work. I ignored the door. Lol.
Thought it was going to brighten up but raining again.
