Warmer and warmer. 12 – 16°C, unnaturally Hugh temperatures.
I’ve been for early runs 3 times this week, and used the Green Machines each time. Setoff was around 06.30 in darkness for about 25 minutes . This is a good habit despite that nagging ankle injury from the GR20.
Mustang: grey damp and no wind
Pushed back the ride to get some maintenance done. The Zing has a new chain that I failed to fit. Shimano chains have a single-use pin to close the chain. I broke it. The Jake also has a new KMC chain which was easy to fit but there’s a problem. The cassette is worn out on about 4 cogs. It’s the original on a 2015 bike, so that’s a decent life. The jockey wheels were almost toothless. Changed them too.
Great, an hour’s work and now 2 bikes are unrideable. At least I got a run this morning.
15°C, grey morning.
Walk, run, machine, run, repeat. I’ve never been a runner, considering myself too heavy for it. But I’ve done 4 runs in the last week.
8°C, stormy, 55mph gusts.
Woke very early, fizzing with energy. After breakfast, I got the turbo out. While on it, I recalled that I have a pair of running shoes.
A decade on, these shoes get a second run. I bought them for an event at my last school and have only used them in gyms since. They’re not ideal gym shoes but seemed fine on the slabbed pavements around here.
I feel great now, let’s run again soon. Next is a bike ride this afternoon.
Later: a third workout.
The tail end of Storm Gareth still has some force. No longer is it dangerous but the return leg was non-stop hard work
